Who is that - NBA star trolls Cristiano Ronaldo
NBA star Anthony Edwards has added fuel to the long-running Messi vs. Ronaldo debate after playfully feigning ignorance about Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
What Edwards said
Speaking to reporters at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, Edwards was seen wearing an Argentina jersey associated with Lionel Messi when Ronaldo’s name was mentioned.
“Cristiano Ronaldo, who’s that?” Edwards quipped, according to Sportskeeda. “I can’t f*ck with him! Where does he play?”
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard, popularly known as “Ant-Man,” made the comments after delivering an MVP performance at the NBA All-Star Game. His USA Stars side defeated the USA Stripes 47-21 in a dominant display.
Ronaldo currently plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, while Messi features for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. Between them, the two global icons have recorded 13 Ballon d’Or titles and countless individual and team honours.
