Anthony Edwards Trades Jokes With Sixers' James, Brown in New Adidas Ad

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards appears in a new Adidas advertisement in which he directs a series of jokes at Philadelphia 76ers players James and Brown, according to a report from ESPN.

In the ad, Edwards is quoted as saying, "We ain't gonna play it safe," a line ESPN reported was aimed at the Sixers duo as part of the campaign's lighthearted tone.

ESPN's report characterized the commercial as continuing a trend of NBA players using sponsored content to engage in good-natured banter with rivals ahead of the upcoming season.

Further details about the ad's release date, its full content, or additional context from Adidas, the Timberwolves or the 76ers were not included in the available report.

ESPN did not include direct responses from James or Brown regarding the advertisement in its report.
