On March 7, Beijing time, the Sun official recently posted a video asking every player's favorite female athlete. Many players gave the usual answer, such as the recently retired WNBA legend Taurasi, or tennis legend Serena Williams, but Durant's answer was very different, and he directly stated that his favorite female athlete is Angel Reese.

The 36-year-old Durant and the 22-year-old Reese were rumored to be dating, but Durant did not shy away from answering this time, and was regarded by some media and fans as a direct indication of Reese's love.

Reese had a great rookie season in the WNBA and is KD's little fan sister, who once said in an interview that she admires Durant very much. Not many would call the 22-year-old the best of all time, which has left many wondering if Durant has a romantic affection for the Chicago Sky basketball player.

It's likely that Durant's remarks were just an expression of support for his fellow countrymen — Reese is from Maryland, where Durant spent part of his formative years.

The two men have been linked before...... Last summer, they were photographed watching an exhibition game of the U.S. women's basketball team together. They seem to be very close, which sparks rumors of a romance. But soon after, Reece insisted on her "Unabashed Angel" that she and the 36-year-old were not boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, Durant's recent remarks undoubtedly made many netizens have different ideas. TMZ, a well-known gossip media in the United States, also reported on this matter.
