Cuban believes Edwards consistently steps over the line before the ball reaches the rim, violating free throw rules.
“Watch Anthony Edwards when he takes a free throw shot. Watch when he shoots his free throws. Every single time he steps over the line—every time,” Cuban said on the podcast.
Cuban added that he had similarly exposed NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal in the past, which led referees to call it and forced Shaq to adjust his free throws.
“We sent in the Shaq, and they started calling it, and he had to fix his free throws,” Cuban explained.
“Anthony Edwards—we had a game against them where they were up like 93–92 with a few seconds left. He goes two feet… he steps over the line, and then the ball crosses, goes into the basket. I’m like, this is the easiest call for a referee. Just watch to see if he steps over the line, and they refused to call it,” he noted.
