The latest Spiderman movie has the entire entertainment industry buzzing with curiosity. The multiverse coming together is not the only crossover that would come out from this movie. The sensational actress Zendaya once revealed an insane fact that would have any Marvel and NBA fan shocked.

According to sources, Zendaya revealed in 2014 that her father wanted her to be the first woman in the NBA. You read that right, Zendaya, the breakout actress from this Spiderman series could have been in the NBA.

The actress made her voice-acting debut in the movie Super Buddies. However, she made her breakthrough in Hollywood through this Spiderman series itself. It is almost unbelievable to think that she could be on a completely different career path had she listened to her father.

I love all sports, I love watching the girls, especially in the Olympics and in the WNBA. They’re great and there are a lot of great players. But ten years? I think that’s pushing it.”
