Asked which players in the modern game could've played in his era of the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal went right to Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards. "I think about that all the time," O'Neal said on his show The Big Podcast. "Ant Edwards, big and strong. LeBron, of course — well he did play in our era. KD also played in our era. That's about it."

Anthony Edwards, who missed the All-Star Game due to a groin injury, landed on the Wolves' injury report ahead of their matchup against the Houston Rockets on Friday, Feb. 21.

Anthony Edwards has emerged as one of the NBA's brightest future stars, thanks to his impressive performances with the Minnesota Timberwolves. These standout displays have led to comparisons with the legendary Michael Jordan.
