Jaylen Brown is absolutely not here for the recent jabs Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards threw his way and at his Philadelphia 76ers teammate LeBron James. This isn’t just some friendly trash talk, either. Brown went live on Twitch with Sixers guard VJ Edgecombe and let everyone know exactly how he felt about Edwards’ comments in a new adidas ad campaign.
Edwards’ Adidas Ad Takes Aim at LeBron and Brown’s Hair
Alright, so what exactly did Anthony Edwards say to get Jaylen Brown so fired up? In the adidas commercial, Edwards went straight for LeBron James, joking about his free agency decision to join the 76ers this offseason. “He was gon’ join me in Minnesota, but I guess his knees couldn’t handle the cold weather,” Edwards quipped. But he didn’t stop there. Edwards then added, “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’re gonna have a whole lot of enhancements going on in that locker room.” The “ol’ boy from Boston” is a pretty clear shot at Brown, referencing his hair, and Brown definitely took it personally.
Jaylen Brown’s ‘F–ked Up’ Response Says It All
You know it’s serious when a player gets on stream and drops the gloves. Brown didn’t mince words about Edwards’ commercial. “That’s f–ked up. AE, I thought you was my boy,” Brown said directly, clearly feeling the sting of the comments. He followed it up with, “Come on, man, that’s crazy. We ain’t doing that.” Brown even suggested that adidas might be behind the script, trying to stir things up. “Adidas wrote this for you, my boy? They wrote this for you? They’re trying to drive a wedge between us.” It sounds like he feels betrayed, or at the very least, pretty annoyed that Edwards would go there.
This Ain’t Their First Rodeo, And January’s Going to Be Wild
Look, this isn’t the first time Edwards has decided to troll Brown. Back during All-Star weekend in February, Edwards famously named Brown as the player he would absolutely not want dating his sister. So, yeah, there’s a history here. These aren’t just random shots, there’s a pattern, and it looks like Brown is finally fed up. All these little digs? They’re just building up to one big explosion. The Timberwolves and 76ers are set to meet for the first time this season in January. You can bet Brown will have a new point of contention to discuss with Edwards then. Get ready, because that game is going to be must-watch television.
