Anthony Edwards has made it known for a while that Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant is his favorite player of all time.

During the 2024 NBA playoffs, the Minnesota Timberwolves went up against the Suns.

Edwards dominated, and the Timberwolves swept the Suns, which was a huge failure for Durant.

Recently, Durant and Edwards were at Fanatics Fest (in New York City).

The two did an interview together, and one of the statements that Edwards made went viral (h/t Aliyah Funschelle).

Jalen Rose: "What was it like playing against KD in the playoffs and winning?"

Edwards: "I'm not gonna lie. I felt bad a little bit. Only because he's my favorite player of all time. I didn't want to send him home like that. It happened man. I felt bad. I felt bad."
