Anthony Edwards continues to ascend. The Wolf Guard was already a superstar, but it is reaching the status of “Face of the NBA”, and eliminating the Lakers in the NBA playoffs joined its legacy.
We are not here to talk about him celebrating the thought of victory. We are here to talk about your favorite movie, which could be the most surprising answer of an athlete in history.
Anthony Edwards takes a victory turn outside Crypto Arena after eliminating the Lakers
“They said” Lakers in 5 “, and when we got up 3-1, they said” Lakers in 7 ”

Edwards were asked yes Boyz in the hood It was his favorite film after stating that the wolves were the good ones, and the Lakers were Morris Chestnut, who played Ricky Baker. Now, I’m not exactly sure to classify Ricky as the “bad boy” in the movie. Ferris was fine, Sooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuza Worse, but that is another argument.
Anyway, Ant said it was not his favorite movie. That his real favorite film or all the time was … Matilda. Yes, the 1996 Roald Dahl adaptation starring Mara Wilson, Rhea Perlman and Danny Devito.

I will not hate. Matilda It’s a blow. It is surprising to hear an athlete say this openly without feeling the need to try to look like everything macho, choosing some traditionally adult, male or acclaimed.
That is why Ant is a great thought. He doesn’t care about what you think. If that means walking through the streets of mocking the Lakers who bounce or profess their love for a film for children.
