Anthony Edwards has been integral to the Minnesota Timberwolves’ success in recent years. The 23-year-old star has displayed fantastic talent on the court, leading the Timberwolves to the conference semifinals while eliminating the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the 2023-24 NBA playoffs.
However, Edwards, whom Stephen Curry recently pranked, was less dominant on the court in the semifinals and finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics when it came to Team USA’s success. Meanwhile, Edwards shared some exciting information about other players on the team’s roster during a recent appearance on Fanatic Fest. The ‘Ant-Man’ revealed that Kevin Durant was the person behind all the Drake songs in Team USA’s playlist.
“Man, KD only wanna listen to Drake. I was with him the whole time, so I was listening to nobody but Drake.” Edwards said to Jalen Rose at the Fanatic Fest.
The Timberwolves star noted that Durant is a big fan of Drake’s music and exclusively listens to his songs. Although Edwards played alongside Durant on Team USA, he also outperformed Durant in the recent NBA season series.
