At Georgia, Edwards averaged 19.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg and 2.8 apg on 40% career shooting from the field in one season. He immediately became a household name, eventually becoming the first overall pick in the NBA draft. While Edwards has seen his best performances in a Minnesota uniform, his potential has been evident since his days as a Bulldog.

Debuting as the highly anticipated follow-up to the adidas AE 1 in October 2024, the AE 2 is already making waves with this upcoming colorway, just in time for the March Madness tournament. Edwards previously released the “Bulldog” AE1, so we can expect this black/red/white theme to continue moving forward.

Earlier Thursday, the NBA announced it was fining Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves $25,000 for thrusting the ball into the stands during halftime of the game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The incident occurred during Tuesday’s 124-121 road win over Portland, when the ANT scored a game-high 34 points.

Almost immediately after the fine was announced, Adidas posted a hilarious response on Twitter in the form of a video promoting the 24-year-old’s latest sneaker, the Anthony Edwards 2.

The clip begins with ANT’s accountant handing the player a bag full of money.

“Okay ANT, I’m setting aside 430 grand just in case you have any accidents, disagreements or slips of the tongue this season. Let’s take it easy this year,” he said.

But Edwards had a completely different idea.

“Do you really think I’m going to slow down now that I’ve got to 2s? Man look at them. You see that? That’s the difference between a floater and a poster set. They have things that will keep me steady, and they’re stronger too,” ANT explains, before being told he was talking to his accountant.

“I don’t think I’m going to slow down any time soon, so you might as well double down,” Edwards said in response, according to a post by Adidas on

And well, the fine proves exactly that. The incident occurred at the end of the second quarter; After getting the rebound on a Portland miss, Edwards faked a full-court shot and then launched the ball well after the buzzer.

The ball hit a spectator standing near the basket and now a penalty has been awarded. ANT’s 34 points were the result of a 17-35 shooting split, including five three-pointers.

Despite this, there is no doubt that Edwards will be focused on preparing for the Los Angeles Clippers, who the Timberwolves will play next. The fine is undoubtedly unfortunate, but it gave them the ideal opportunity to promote their new sneakers.
