Johnson wrote: "Anthony Edwards is the greatest in-game dunker in the NBA today and one of the most exciting and electrifying players because of his athleticism! His dunk reminds me of the best in-game dunkers I played against - Dr. J, Michael Jordan, and Dominique Wilkins!"
Johnson is a five-time NBA Champion, and among the ten best players ever so his high praise is noteworthy.
