I got some people here that say they gonna beat me in ping-pong, 21-0. I don't believe it, I don't believe it. I'm not having it. I'm not having it. Eleven to zero, I'm scoring one point. Where we gon' do that?Anthony Edwards responded to Steph Curry’s challenge

Kevin Durant responds to Anthony Edwards after getting dunked on
Kevin Durant, a future Hall of Famer, showed humility and respect on social media after being dunked on by Anthony Edwards. Durant commented on a photo of the dunk, where he referenced CJ McCollum’s famous reply to a fan in 2018.

The dunk was notable not only because of the athleticism and skill involved but also because Edwards led his team to a playoff win over Durant’s team earlier in the season. Edwards didn’t hesitate to talk trash during the game, and he’ll likely continue to do so as the two prepare to face off as teammates on Team USA in the Olympics.
Despite being dunked on, Durant deserves credit for taking the high road and showing respect to Edwards. Durant is still working his way back from a calf injury, making the dunk even more impressive.
