Kevin Garnett and Anthony Edwards paired up for a commercial

Along with mesmerizing basketball skills, Anthony Edwards keeps surprising fans with his off-court interests. Edwards’ performance in the ‘Hustle’ was highly praised but the star has more in his acting bag. After Adidas, Ant-Man is now starring in Sprite commercials. The twist this time is that he gets to do it alongside Minnesota legend Kevin Garnett.

A few weeks ago, Sprite released their first commercial with the Timberwolves pair Kevin Garnett and Anthony Edwards. Now, the brand has released the second part ‘Lock in’ where the duo shared a wholesome conversation. Ant-Man humbly asked KG for advice and the veteran delivered by warning about the distractions. But Edwards gave a classic Ant-Man response.

I hear you OG, but that s*** don’t really faze me, for real.

Anthony Edwards said.

The duo showed off incredible chemistry as the 23-year-old was ready to learn with his game-winning mindset. KG also showered the young player with compliments and encouraging words. The commercial brought out the impeccable humor of the two athletes. This ad was a continuation of the duo’s discussion prior to getting into the car. But the attractive mood was certainly followed.

From one Timberwolves star to another, the commercial was refreshing to watch. As KG is known to be the legend of the franchise, his pushing Edwards for the face of the league was heartwarming. The pair certainly share a similar tough mindset, which also reflects in Edwards’ game. The Timberwolves guard is averaging 26.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.4 assists this season while also shining in brand deals.

Kevin Garnett compared Anthony Edwards to a young Michael Jordan

Anthony Edwards and Kevin Garnett now share a healthy bond as shown in the commercial. But that has not been the case always. Back in August, KG called out Edwards for his controversial statement about the old players in the league. Garnett gave Ant-Man a reality check about the difference in difficulty level back then and the current generation.

Despite, Garnett sounding heated, the star had also praised Edwards before. The Minnesota guard often draws comparisons with the great Michael Jordan as he is also taking advice from the basketball royalty. But Garnett saw the potential a long time ago, comparing Edwards to a young Jordan during ‘KG Certified’. “

I’m putting my bread on the young fella. He like a young ’84 Michael Jordan. You see how he’s coming through the lane?

Kevin Garnett said.

Despite the short-lived beef, the pair’s combination is a treat for Timberwolves fans. After witnessing the greatness of KG, Edwards is rising to be one of the best in the organization. During the playoffs last year, Edwards passed Garnett for most 30-point performances in the franchise’s history. With such records and his famous finger sleeve, Ant-Man is only getting inspired by Garnett.
