Anthony Edwards recently shared an unforgettable experience from the Olympics, where he found himself in the midst of basketball legends Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and LeBron James. Despite not being a basketball enthusiast growing up, Edwards knew Kevin Durant and felt fortunate to share the stage with such iconic players.

In a candid moment, Edwards revealed, "I wasn't a basketball guy; the only person I knew was Kevin Durant. Wow, yeah, that was it. Everybody else, I didn't watch when they played. I watched Kevin." He recounted the electric atmosphere when the names of these basketball greats were announced. Steph Curry was called as number four, followed by Edwards at number five, LeBron James at number six, and Kevin Durant at number seven. The crowd's reaction was palpable. They erupted with cheers for Curry, remained lukewarm for Edwards, and went wild again for LeBron and Durant.

For Edwards, standing between these giants was a highlight of his life. He fondly recalled, "Me just being in the middle of them, I think that was the greatest time of my life. My brother took a picture of that, and we were like, 'Bro, that's the dopest picture we're going to have.' Yeah, for sure."

This moment serves as a testament to Edwards' journey and the respect he has earned in the basketball community. To witness this profound experience and see the picture that means so much to Edwards, watch the full video.
