Anthony Edwards continues to be ascending. The Wolves guard was already a famous person, however he’s reaching “face of the NBA” standing, and eliminating the Lakers within the NBA Playoffs simply added to his legacy.
We’re not right here to speak about him celebrating the victory although. We’re right here to speak about his favourite film, which is likely to be probably the most shocking response from an athlete ever.
Anthony Edwards takes a victory lap exterior Crypto Enviornment after eliminating the Lakers
“They stated ‘Lakers in 5,’ and after we was up 3-1, they stated ‘Lakers in 7.’ Go to hell as we speak… Good guys don’t die on this film, Morris Chestnut died on this film”

Edwards was requested if Boyz N The Hood was his favourite film after claiming the Wolves have been the nice guys, and the Lakers have been Morris Chestnut — who performed Ricky Baker. Now, I’m not precisely positive I’d classify Ricky because the “dangerous man” within the film. Ferris was means, waaaaay worse, however that’s one other argument.
Anyway, Ant stated that it wasn’t his favourite film. That his precise favourite film of all time was … Matilda. Sure, the 1996 Roald Dahl adaptation starring Mara Wilson, Rhea Perlman, and Danny DeVito.

I’m not going to hate. Matilda is a banger. It’s simply shocking to listen to an athlete say this brazenly with out feeling the necessity to attempt to appear all macho, selecting one thing extra historically grownup, macho, or acclaimed.
This is the reason Ant is nice although. He doesn’t care an oz. what you suppose. Whether or not meaning strolling via the streets of L.A. mocking the Lakers getting bounced, or professing his love of a youngsters’s film.
