Anthony Edwards on Wolves sweeping Suns in last playoffs: I’m not going to lie I felt bad a little bit only because Kevin Durant is my favorite player of all time. I didn’t want to send him home like that but it happened, I felt bad.

Dennis Schroder called Kevin Durant “weak” for KD’s post shading him after winning gold:
“That’s just being weak. You’re that type of star and you need to say something to a person like me, who didn’t even mean it to be negative.”

More on this storyline
Kevin Durant: ‘The whole point of having social media is to interact with people right? So you follow me for a chance to maybe interact with me so it depends on how I feel I’mma interact and if you troll I’mma troll back. If you show love I’mma show love back. So I kind of try to reciprocate energy as much as possible to give people more of an in-depth experience of who I am. -via YouTube / August 21, 2024
What did Team USA do to celebrate getting gold? Anthony Edwards: We just popped the Champagne, you know, learned how to do the Champagne. Got together as a team, told each other we’d miss each other and we had fun. What are other favorite memories from the Olympics? Anthony Edwards: I dunked on Kevin Durant. The second day, I dunked on him in practice. -via Wall Street Journal / August 20, 2024
Coming off the high of winning a gold medal at the Paris Olympics, a trio of Team USA stars had their celebration interrupted. During an appearance alongside star forward Kevin Durant for Boardroom Talks at Fanatics Fest this weekend, Anthony Edwards revealed that the two of them were drug tested after the Olympic final against France along with Stephen Curry. “We couldn’t even really celebrate for real because me, him and Steph had to take like a drug test or something,” Edwards said -via Bleacher Report / August 20, 2024
Damian Lillard names his current favorite players: I’m gonna go with Anthony Edwards. I think everybody is super high on him right now but I like him because of his energy, like the swag about him is authentic, and he got the game to go with it. So I’m gonna go with Anthony Edwards. I’m gonna go with Ja Morant. He got into some trouble so I think people kind of turned off to him a little bit but I mean I know what I’m looking at. Luka Doncic, I’m leaving somebody out… Joker and Giannis. That’s my five right now. -via YouTube / August 20, 2024
How do you think your generation of basketball is different from older generations? Anthony Edwards: I didn’t watch it back in the day so I can’t speak on it. They say it was tougher back then than it is now, but I don’t think anybody had skill back then. [Michael Jordan] was the only one that really had skill, you know what I mean? So that’s why when they saw Kobe [Bryant], they were like, “Oh, my God.” But now everybody has skill. -via Wall Street Journal / August 20, 2024
