Anthony Edwards hilariously names one sport he would beat his US teammates in

Minnesota Timberwolves and Team USA basketball star Anthony Edwards are key players in the country’s quest for an Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games, which begin later this month.

But if he weren’t competing in basketball, he thinks there’s one Olympic sport he’d excel in. Not only that, Edwards believes he’d outshine his Team USA teammates… in freestyle swimming.

“Freestyle,” Edwards said without hesitation when asked which swimming event he would compete in. “But I’m also fast.”

When asked if he was the fastest swimmer on Team USA, Edwards confirmed it and explained it in a hilarious way.

“For sure. They’re not swimmers,” Edwards joked. “You got Joel Embiid, you got (Anthony Davis) and Bam (Adebayo). They don’t swim fast. LeBron, he doesn’t swim fast. KD, Kawhi (Leonard), (Jayson) Tatum, they don’t swim fast at all. So my only challengers are (Devin Booker), while he might not be able to swim. Jrue (Holiday), he could drown. And (Tyrese) Haliburton, oh my God. If Haliburton beats me, I’ll never have to touch the water again.”

Edwards, a rising basketball star, has charisma both on and off the court, which is evident again in this latest interview.

Team USA will be counting on his play on the court as they battle for a gold medal later this summer.
