The All-Star Game’s MVP, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, teased Cristiano Ronaldo a few days after the Portuguese legend claimed not to know him.
The show was in full swing on Sunday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood. Anthony Edwards, 24, shone during the NBA All-Star Game, earning the MVP trophy after Team USA Stars defeated Team USA Stripes (47-21). But it was as much for his on-court performance as for his media moment that “Ant-Man” drew attention.
Wearing Lionel Messi’s Argentina jersey, the Timberwolves player was asked about Cristiano Ronaldo. His response, relayed by Sportskeeda, drew a smile: “Cristiano Ronaldo, who is he? I can’t go after him! Where does he play?” A pointed jab, echoing recent remarks by the Portuguese star suggesting that he didn’t know the basketball player.
Today at Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo continues his career away from Europe, while Lionel Messi plays for Inter Miami in MLS. Between them, the two football giants have amassed 13 Ballon d’Or titles and have dominated the debates for nearly two decades.
