“I wasn’t a basketball guy. The only person I knew was Kevin Durant. That was it.” Unless you have been living under a rock, by now you would be well aware of Anthony Edwards’ fandom for The Slim Reaper. Deeming him his “favorite player of all time,” Ant-Man has developed a bromance with his childhood idol, and even the fans cannot get enough of it. However, there might be some cracks in Edwards’ love for KD as his siblings made a shocking revelation that contradicts many claims the Wolves star has made in the past.

During Sonya Curry’s Raising Fame podcast, Ant’s siblings Antoine and Antoinette were asked who their brother’s favorite player was growing up. While every listener expected to hear KD’s name, they were left stunned when Antoinette said, “Was it LeBron?” and Antoine quickly responded, “Yeah, he was a LeBron fan.” You heard that right! As to his family members, a young Ant-Man was a huge King James fan. Maybe it was their similar football background or LBJ’s insane athleticism early in his career that attracted Edwards to his game.

Nevertheless, this revelation could be like a dagger in the hearts of the fans who are aboard the Edwards-Durant bromance bandwagon. However, his admiration for LeBron does not mean that Ant couldn’t have been a fan of Durant at the same time. Moreover, their bond has gotten even stronger after the two teamed up to win gold at the Paris Olympics. Hoping to get more insight, the host asked his siblings if Ant had a favorite team in the NBA right now. But the response wasn’t as shocking as the previous one, “I don’t know to be honest… I never heard him say he had a favorite team. He likes certain players but I never really heard him say like ‘I got a favorite team.’”

Anthony Edwards had the “Greatest Time” with LeBron James and Kevin Durant

Now that Edwards has shared the court with both LeBron and Durant, it might become even harder for him to hide his fandom for King James. And it seems like he doesn’t intend to do so as he recently revealed the amazing feeling of standing on the podium in Paris next to both legends, “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 we like, that’s the dopest picture we gonna have.”

On top of that, Ant was also extremely grateful to be able to learn so much from veteran leaders like LeBron, KD, and even Steph. In a wholesome post on X, Edwards shared images with the three legends and wrote, “Keep some old heads around you.” So, at this point, it might not even matter if he was a Durant or LeBron fan growing up because he has publicly acknowledged the greatness of both superstars and has immense respect and appreciation for them following their Olympics team up.
