Anthony Edwards has taken a playful swipe at Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, claiming he does not know the football icon.
Edwards, widely known as Ant-Man, made the remark on Sunday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, while wearing Lionel Messi’s Argentina national team jersey.
The 24-year-old guard featured in the NBA All-Star Game, where he was named Most Valuable Player after leading the USA Stars to a 47–21 victory over the USA Stripes.
When asked if he was familiar with Ronaldo, Edwards jokingly responded that he did not know who he was and questioned where he plays.
Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, while Messi represents Major League Soccer side Inter Miami in the United States.
Ronaldo and Messi have shared 13 Ballon d’Or titles between them and are widely regarded as two of the greatest players in football history.
