After a well-contested and entertaining first half of the 2021-2022 season, the teams of the league get a well-deserved break. With the commencement of this break, the All-Star Weekend kicks starts in Cleveland with the new-looking Clorox Rising Stars tournament.
In this event, several youngsters compete against each other and aim to leave the fans in awe while hoping to go viral on social media for their breathtaking plays. Cole Anthony was one of the rising stars to go viral, but it was for a rather peculiar reason.
During game 1 of the newly introduced tournament-style event, Desmond Bane of Team Isiah went on the line to grab the win. After Bane knocked down the first shot from the charity stripe, Anthony decided to do anything and everything he could to prevent the Grizzlies shooter from making the second shot.
Hilariously enough, Cole dropped down his shorts, hoping that Desmond would miss the shot after getting flashed.
Here, have a look at the incident.

Unfortunately, Anthony’s free-throw antics weren’t enough for Team Worthy to get past the eventual runner-ups’ Team Isiah.
