LeBron James Trolled by Adidas

The press service of the German sportswear, footwear and accessories company adidas trolled the 40-year-old forward and four-time National Basketball Association (NBA) champion LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers after the Lakers' defeat in the first round of the playoffs to the Minnesota Timberwolves (1-4), giving an unusual nickname to the Wolves' star Anthony Edwards.

"Kingslayer," the adidas press service wrote on the X social network (formerly Twitter).

Recall that at the beginning of LeBron's NBA career, Nike and adidas were the main favorites in the fight to conclude a sponsorship deal with LeBron. James chose a contract with Nike.

In 2024, Edwards signed a multi-year and multi-million dollar contract with adidas.

In Game 5, which Minnesota won 103-96, Edwards had 15 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals as the Wolves won the series 4-1.
