Ant throws apparent shade at LeBron, Brown in Adidas ad

Anthony Edwards is poking fun at LeBron James following reports that the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the hunt for the 22-time All-Star before he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers for his 24th NBA season.

In a new Adidas ad, Edwards appears to throw shade at James and his new co-star, Jaylen Brown.

"You see where big dog ended up? He was gon' join me in Minnesota, but I guess his knees couldn't handle the cold weather," Edwards said. "It's cool, though. We know why he really made that decision. Philly got some of the best barbers in the world.

"Between him and ol' boy from Boston, they gonna have a whole lotta enhancements going on in the locker room. I'm just playing y'all. No pun intended."

Edwards had several conversations with James before his latest free-agent decision, sources told The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski.

The T-Wolves felt James and his camp gave them full consideration, adds Krawczynski.

The four-time Finals MVP agreed to a two-year, $8-million deal with the 76ers that includes a player option.

James later stated on social media that it would be his "last decision."

Minnesota is still searching for its first NBA Finals appearance after making the West finals in two of the past three seasons.
