Anthony Edwards, the standout player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is set to play a crucial role in Team USA men’s basketball as they aim for gold at the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics. However, Edwards recently revealed that he believes he could excel in another Olympic sport.
In an interview with Today, Edwards was asked which Olympic sport he would dominate if not for basketball. The confident guard mentioned that he would thrive in freestyle swimming due to his speed in the pool.
When questioned about being the fastest swimmer on the US men’s basketball team, Edwards boldly stated, “For sure. They ain’t no swimmers. You got Joel Embiid, you got Anthony Davis and Bam Adebayo. They ain’t swimming fast. LeBron, he ain’t swimming fast. KD, Kawhi Leonard, Jayson Tatum, they’re not swimming fast at all. So my only challengers are Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, and Tyrese Haliburton.”
With Team USA gearing up for the Paris Olympics, Edwards’ confidence will undoubtedly be a valuable asset on the court. The team has already secured victories against Canada and Australia in preparation for the prestigious event.
