Anthony Edwards played his role in the movie- Hustle really well! This movie featured Adam Sandler and Juancho Hernangomez. The 2022 film was based on Bo Cruz, who is a Spanish player guided by Sixers’ scouts, who helped him make the NBA Draft. It was a great movie that received positive reviews and a 7.3 rating on IMDb. However, the 23-year-old Wolf is about to make a 2nd appearance on Netflix this year, and this time it will be even better. They’re looking to release a documentary that is based on the players’ lives.
Players like LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler, and others are also included in the series. This particular idea is inspired by and “modeled after” the NFL’s Quarterback and Reciever series on Netflix. While the on-court and off-court life of players will be showcased, this will definitely be something the fanbase will wait for. “Edwards is expected to be the breakaway act,” claimed Shams Charania.
However, importantly, King James could be the protagonist/ main entity of this series, given that SpringHill will take up the production along with Barack Obama’s Higher Ground Productions, and Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions. But from a storyline perspective, it won’t be completely wrong to say that ANT has stood out the most in recent months.

The youngster received a lot of attention from the media. Not only that, considering his performance and fame, spearheading the Wolves (56-26) to the Western Conference Finals last season, it is quite obvious that the story may include a major part of his career and life. Yes, his marketability has surely increased. He’s likely not at the LeBron James marketable level yet, however, Ant-Man is definitely among the most famous youngsters in the NBA, especially for his mindset and personality.

The NFL documentary on Netflix included Patrick Mahomes. With the NBA’s version, Anthony Edwards could very well be branded the ‘future of the NBA’, a similar reputation that names like Bron, KD, and Steph once had, similarly like Patrick Mahomes in the NFL, and are now global stars with super-inspiring stories to tell.
Of course, there have been documentaries like Last Dance, Untold: Malace at the Palace, and others on Netflix. But an official NBA series on the $279 billion streaming service will definitely take the stake a lot higher! Out of all, James and Edwards, a mix of veteran magic and young rookie naivety, will be the most anticipated players to make their appearance in this film. Also, considering the Celtics’ glory-filled Championship run, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will also have their roles highlighted.

Have an interesting take?
Anthony Edwards has a story worth telling
Now, there is no information on the timeline that the series will look to encapsulate. However, if it does start from 2020 onwards, ANT’s career can have a major highlight from his very first episode itself. This would also include snippets of the time when Edwards said that he wanted to become a rapper rather than an NBA player. However, the Wolf took the game seriously, and the rest is history. Minnesota has struggled to build a successful team, but now with Edwards and KAT, their story so far has also been quite interesting.

One of the storylines to look out for would also be the NBA bubble. Basketball came to a stop for quite a few months, at the time. Certain teams were in a bubble to finish the rest of the season. Not only that, but the following season started just under three months after the NBA Finals. Along with this, there are many other events that the docuseries might include.
It will be interesting to see all the Championship runs documented, LeBron James’ story from different perspectives, Lakers and GSW’s struggles, Klay Thompson shifting to Dallas, Bronny entering the league, Kevin Durant being part of the Suns’ Big 3 amidst their financial nightmares, and so much more.
There’s no information on the release date or trailers. However, fans can expect this series to drop around fall, this year. What are your thoughts on the upcoming NBA documentary? Do you think Anthony Edwards should be the protagonist instead in a sort of ‘future of the game’ theme? Or should the producers focus on the veterans more? Let us know in the comments.
