Anthony Edwards had a unique revelation for his fans and followers. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard, who has an IMDb page of his own, replied to a reporter’s curiosity on Saturday when asked to name the “most ridiculous basketball scene” in a movie or television series.
The “Ant-Man” took the opportunity with both hands and put his words out for his favorite basketball scene and said:
“I like High School Musical for some reason, Troy Bolton. I like the scenes. It was pretty dope.”
After his on-court prowess, Edwards let his inner wanna-be actor out and made a curious remark about starring in the remake of the movie High School Musical.
“I would. I actually would for sure.”
However, his thoughts on featuring in the remake of the movie had the NBA fans talking. As soon as the clips from his NBA All-Star press interview surfaced online, the basketball enthusiasts ran into the comments section with their views.
A fan wrote:
“What kind of MJ’s son is this?”
