Anthony Edwards has achieved plenty of success since being drafted as a first-round pick in 2020 by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While there’s not much known about his early years as a baller, one of his alleged high school classmates had a hilarious fact to share about the star.
A video recently went viral where a girl was claiming she helped the Timberwolves star guard cheat in high school. According to her, she was in high school with ANT and even showed her text messages with Edwards over X (formerly Twitter).
