In Photos: Anthony Edwards' girlfriend beams with pride for son starstruck meeting Steph Curry and Kevin Durant at Team USA camp
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has made his presence known in USA Basketball training camp with his confidence and excitement to be representing the country at the Paris Olympics. Matching his enthusiasm for the opportunity, his girlfriend Jeanine Robel shared pictures of their son Krue being starstruck in the presence of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant.
Not every kid is given the chance to meet some of the most iconic basketball players in the world. However, Robel's son made the most of the brief interaction he had with NBA stars who are well-regarded for their craft and the reputation they have upheld throughout their careers.
The Timberwolves guard's girlfriend also included captions in her stories as she was fond of seeing her son's reactions.
"Krue face hilarious," Robel posted.
"They said this was the best trip of their lives," Robel posted.
Aside from seeing the Suns forward in person and receiving a handshake from the Warriors guard, Robel's son also took a picture with two-time NBA Champion Jrue Holiday.
Based on her son's reactions, Anthony Edwards' girlfriend couldn't help but find how her son acted hilarious.
"Them two together hilarious," Robel posted.
To be in the same position as Jeanine Robel's son is something that other kids would love to experience as well. Judging from how her son found the moment, it's safe to say that it was an interaction he won't forget anytime soon.
Anthony Edwards is ecstatic to be playing on Team USA alongside Kevin Durant
During an interview with Yahoo Sports, Edwards shared feeling ecstatic about being teammates with Kevin Durant for Team USA.
"Playing alongside KD," Edwards said. "That's the only thing I'm looking forward to do. ... He's my favorite player of all time. I played against him but I would play with him. I want to see the Olympic KD. I would watch him on TV when he makes all the shots in the Olympics. It's time for me to see, I'm going to watch it from the bench now."
It remains an incredible feeling for any young star in the league to be on the same team as your favorite player growing up. One can see this experience being a full circle moment for Edwards as he was simply watching Durant dominate in the Olympics before and is will now be watching him from the team's bench.
At this point, it doesn't get any better for him to be in this position.
