During Saturday’s first 2024 NBA playoff game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns, Wolves guard Anthony Edwards wasn’t afraid to talk a little trash to Suns forward Kevin Durant.
With Edwards one of the game’s rising stars and Durant one of its established greats, the former didn’t miss the chance to share what was on his mind to the latter after making a 3-pointer right in front of the future Hall of Famer.
Durant had a big smile on his face as Edwards taunted him, as the spirit of competition just makes these big-stage playoff games all the more fun for the players and the fans.

Edwards and the Timberwolves are major contenders in the Western Conference this spring, and moments like this will only add to the team’s momentum in this opening series and in the playoffs as a whole.
If you’re Durant, all you can do sometimes is get a kick out of the new generation trying to stick it to you on the court.
