"I spoke on this a while ago and folks lost they F’ing mind!!! The best players to ever play the game of basketball are playing now! There are those who are more accomplished, have more awards and we just can’t fathom that they aren’t the best," Anthony wrote.
Anthony, who is also a commentator for Turner Sports, played in the NBA from 1991 to 2002, right at the time when Michael Jordan was dominating the sport and as the San Antonio Spurs launched their own dynasty in the late 1990s with David Robinson and Tim Duncan and the Los Angeles Lakers rose to prominence with Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.
