In his own way, Charles Barclay “knocked down” the discussions and comparisons between Anthony Edwards and the Michael Jordan.
“Please stop talking about Edwards and Jordan. The kid has only had one good season in the playoffs. I think he’s going to be great, he’s a good kid and we’re rooting for him, but… calm down!” said “Chuck”.
When Shaquille O’Neal asked Barkley if he thinks Edwards is closing in on Jordan, Barkley replied, “No way! Near who? To Jordan? It’s just that they’re both… black. He’s nowhere near Jordan! Why don’t we let people do their part? Why do we have to say it looks like someone else?».
“Ant” has 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists in his playoffs this year NBAhowever the Timberwolves after 2-0 against the Nuggets lost two games in Minnesota and are at 2-2 in the West semifinals.
Charles Barkley on Anthony Edwards: “Please America, please stop the Michael Jordan stuff. This guy has had one good playoff run. I think he’s going to be a great player…”
Shaq: “Is he close?”
Barkley: “Hellll naw… close to who? They both black.”
