If there’s something that Anthony Edwards has shown us the past couple of seasons, it’s confidence. The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar exudes confidence in everything he does. The latest Adidas AE1 commercial is no exception, and he spares no one. That includes Hall of Fame big man — and No. 1 Rudy Gobert hater — Shaquille O’Neal.

Anthony Edwards fires stray at Shaq

Among the most notable things to take place during last year’s NBA season was the debut of Anthony Edwards’ signature shoe, the AE1. And with the AE1, we also got the AE1 commercials, which is the gift that keeps on giving. This time, it’s a Halloween version, and it includes a stray for Shaq.

“I’ve heard he’s collected every rim that he’s broken. He’s probably broken more than Shaq! Who?!”

The 7’1″, 325 pound center has certainly taken down a few rims in his day. He now sits behind a desk pointing fingers at some of Edwards’ teammates, specifically Rudy Gobert. Obviously, Adidas content creators had that beef in mind when drawing up the script for this commercial.

MVP season coming for Minnesota Timberwolves superstar?

That certainly could be why he was the main target for a quick stray. While an assortment of kids tell the spooky stories of Ant Man, it’s Edwards himself who makes quite the declaration to close it out.

“I heard Ant Man finna have an MVP season, and take his dogs to the championship. Believe that.”

That would certainly be an incredible outcome for Edwards and the Timberwolves. On Friday night facing a solid Denver Nuggets team that Minnesota bounced in the playoffs last year, Edwards backed it up.

He hit a game sealing floater and ripped off 29 points. Notably he nailed 7-of-14 three-pointers (50%), and has been on a Steph Curry pace to start the season. He doesn’t care what you think about it either.

This is the sort of killer attitude that it takes for someone to reach the mountaintop. This is the attitude that Michael Jordan had. This is the attitude that will take Edwards to the next level.
