Anthony Edwards pokes fun at LeBron James in a new Adidas commercial for his third signature sneaker. In the ad, Edwards teases that James might have chosen to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves but ultimately joined the Philadelphia 76ers due to cold weather concerns and access to better barbers. The commercial highlights the drama of James's recent free agency decision, which also considered Miami and Cleveland before he chose a two-year contract with the 76ers.

Story summary
Anthony Edwards, a player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, recently mocked LeBron James in an Adidas commercial promoting his third signature sneaker. In June, James considered signing with several teams but ultimately chose to join the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year deal worth $8 million instead of re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers or joining the Timberwolves. Edwards joked that James's knees couldn't handle Minnesota's cold weather and hinted at cosmetic reasons for his choice, referencing barbers in Philadelphia. The decision was closely watched by NBA fans as James had spent eight seasons with the Lakers before opting out.
