Anthony Edwards’ Adidas Line Gains Momentum With Katt Williams

In today’s competitive landscape, the phrase “if you can't beat them, diss them” resonates prominently. This tactic emerges as Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards and Adidas take shots at NBA MVP, Finals MVP, and champion Shai Gilgeous-Alexander alongside his shoe brand, Converse. Following Oklahoma City Thunder's decisive 4-1 triumph over the Timberwolves in last season’s Western Conference Finals, Converse teased Edwards through a social media jab. Both Edwards and Adidas responded with a clever advertisement featuring famed comedian Katt Williams, marking the start of the 2025-26 NBA season. In a humorous 80-second video, Williams addressed skeptics, skillfully acknowledging SGA’s current success while critiquing his footwear. Edwards added a light-hearted comment, and the dialogue underscored their rivalry, albeit with SGA’s playoff performance distinctly overshadowing Edwards’. Their contrasting playstyles—SGA's efficiency versus Edwards’ explosive athleticism—further fuels ongoing comparisons as their respective journeys in the league develop.
