Anthony Edwards Says He’s a Top 5 Player in the NBA, Talks Playing With His Idol KD for Team USA

How exciting is it for you as young guy about to play with some of the greatest names of all time?
It’s super fun, man. I get to play alongside my favorite player of all time, which is Kevin Durant. But also I get to play alongside LeBron, Steph Curry, all the goats, man. So it should be fun.

We can’t not talk about NBA playoffs, which is right around the corner. What is your mindset going into this postseason with a target on y’all back as a No. 3 seed?
I don’t really have any. It’s just going to be fun. Everybody know the playoffs are always going to be super competitive. A lot of back and forth, ups and downs. Just stay the course and we’ll be all right.

I know you’re probably not on Twitter as much, but fans have resurfaced your “they got KD but we got Jaden McDaniels” quote. Now we’re going to see the matchup this week. How important is it for y’all to prove the doubters wrong this postseason?
I don’t think we got to pretty much prove anybody wrong. We got to prove our ourselves right. It’s going to be super big, man. It is going to be fun. They have a three-headed monster. It’s going to be tough to beat ’em, but it’s going to be fun.
