Stephen Curry arranges a match for Anthony Edwards against USA’s table tennis team
During the Olympic opening ceremony, Edwards had an unexpected run-in with the USA women’s Table Tennis team. Steph, playing matchmaker, arranged a ping-pong showdown for Edwards. Confident as ever, Edwards stated, “I got some people, they gonna beat me in ping-pong 21-0. I don’t believe it. 11-0, I’m scoring one point.”
One of the players responded, “I mean, there’s one way, let’s try it out.” Just when it seemed Edwards might be in over his head, he accepted the challenge with, “Okay. How? When’re we gonna do that? Whenever.”
To be honest, this is typical Anthony, and did we see it coming? We sure did. Anthony Edwards is known for his brashness, both on and off the court, especially in interviews. Fans still remember when Anthony Edwards boasted about beating team USAB in a swimming competition, saying they weren’t good swimmers.
When he claimed to excel at baseball, the interviewer listed sports like ping-pong, baseball, football, and basketball that Edwards claimed to be great at. Edwards shot back, saying, “Tennis, swimming, Lacrosse I’m gonna go do it if it’s some money on the line.” Amusingly, he even said he was ready for a cooking challenge.
