Minnesota Timberwolves basketball player Anthony Edwards, who was recently eliminated from the NBA playoffs, has just released an commercial for the sports brand Adidas. In the commercial, the quarterback called out host Cam’ron, “It Is What It Is.” The Harlem rapper, known for confronting critics earlier in his profession, responded to the criticism with a freestyle on a recent show.

In a sneaker promotion released last month, a video shows a machine issuing receipts. In the trailer, you hear Edwards answer an issue concerning the machine: “It’s for my bills,” before adding, “I hear all the hate.” The first receipt to return out involves former NBA player Carmelo Anthony, who questioned whether Edwards was willing to place in the work to turn out to be the “face of the league.”

The second receipt states that Cam’ron said, “He’s an All-Star to me, but not a superstar yet.” To which Edwards says, “Fuck you buddy,” laughing on the statement. The person reading the bills then says, “That’s not the case,” apparently referring to the title of Cam’s podcast.

Edwards goes through other statements before saying, “This is just the beginning.”

Cam’ron posted a video on his Instagram account and promised to reply to Edwards’ disparagement towards him.

“😂😂🔥🔥🔥 promoting!! Thanks @adidas for love. And I had Antman all this time, but I’ll discuss that on the show on Monday. Still, I like this approach. The only thing I’d say is use a greater looking lesbian to read your bills 🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂😂😂

As promised, Killa Cam responded on June 3, dropping a freestyle originally of the podcast. Using the background of the late Bad Boy rapper and fellow Harlemnite, Black Rob’s “Whoa!” he addressed Edwards, affectionately often known as Ant-Man, in a couple of bars. Before he did, Cam mentioned his CNN appearance with Abby Phillip. He appeared on a news show with a news anchor, asking for his opinion on Diddy’s situation. However, he apologized to Phillip.

“I’m sorry, Abby, for everything I might have said/But the play has already been read/Get a black woman and a black man to kill a black man who’s already dead.”

He saved his venom for Ant-Man after stating that he was in the basketball player’s corner until he released this promotional ad.

“But what the hell is with Ant-Man?/I gave him props, man got love from me/New commercial, don’t you love me?/He passed the jump and said, ‘Fuck, buddy'”

“Don’t get upset Kyrie Irving with this shit. / Shooters, sorry, these are only my very own thoughts / Luka, I’ll send you home in your court,” referring to the Wolves’ home playoff elimination. Minnesota House Court.

The Harlem-born businessman was recently a keynote speaker at BLACK ENTERPRISES Disruptor Summit in Atlanta, during which the rapper talked about how he began his successful sports program “It Is What It Is”.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker brings an NBA championship desire with his Olympic experience

Published

on

By

The gold medal went to the USA Basketball team. Mission completed on the 2024 Paris Games. U.S. men’s basketball coach Steve Kerr just answered his final query during his final news conference on Aug. 10 after his team defeated France within the gold medal game.

However, before leaving the stage of the press conference in Paris, Kerr stopped to deliver an unsolicited message to media around the globe.

“Devin Booker is an amazing basketball player. Nobody asked about him. He was our unsung MVP. I just desired to say that,” Kerr said.

The “underrated MVP” compliment meant so much to the Phoenix Suns guard.

“It meant everything. No one really asked him,” Booker recently told Andscape. “That was probably something that was weighing on his mind throughout the entire process. A 12 months ago I said what I desired to do for this team and what we desired to do for the country.

“It was a lot larger than all of us. Survival was something we’d discuss for the remainder of our lives.

The USA Basketball team was centered around NBA star icons LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. There has also been some discussion amongst media and fans in regards to the lack of playing time for Jayson Tatum and, to a lesser extent, Tyrese Haliburton. Lost within the shuffle was the all-around, unselfish play of sharpshooter Booker wearing the armband.

Booker was fourth in scoring for the U.S., averaging 11.7 points, 3.3 assists and a couple of.2 three-pointers made early in all six Olympics, and likewise had the perfect plus/minus (plus-130) for an American. Kerr was impressed with Booker’s deal with a difficult defense, regardless that he is thought for his offense, ball movement and the way he has adjusted to not being one in every of the highest options on offense.

“I just understood what was at stake,” Booker said. “I’m proud to be from this country. I’m happy with playing basketball. Even though it wasn’t invented in America, we dominated for a very long time. Obviously the world is incredibly talented and the sport is growing, however it was just one other message to allow them to know who we’re.

Booker said he also learned in regards to the preparations from his all-star team, watching the preparations on and off the court. The 28-year-old added that he gained lifelong friendships.

“It’s cool to see that everyone has their own issues,” Booker said. “In my 10 years in the NBA, I’ve learned that you have to choose what you can use for yourself. But the level of detail, the attention to detail, the intensity – it’s all consistent across the board.”

As for Durant, Booker said the bond between the 2 Sun stars “is close and grows stronger every day.” They live about five minutes from one another within the Phoenix area and commonly spend time at home and on the road. Most recently, Booker had to steer the Suns without Durant, who was sidelined with an injury.

The amazing Durant averaged 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and three.4 assists, which were tops for the Suns. However, the 14-time NBA All-Star has been sidelined since November 8 with a left calf strain. Suns players Bradley Beal (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) were also sidelined. The Suns are 1-5 without Durant, which incorporates 4 straight losses.

Booker and Suns sans Durant’s next rivals shall be the New York Knicks on Wednesday evening (ESPN, 10 p.m. ET). Over the last six games, Booker is averaging 24.1 points, shooting 43.2% from the sphere and making 16 of 43 three-pointers. Suns guard Tyus Jones said there was numerous pressure on Booker offensively due to the injury.

“We’re asking a lot of Book,” Jones said after Monday’s 109-99 loss to the visiting Orlando Magic. “It’s numerous pressure for him. We are very focused on it. They are physical with him, holding him and grabbing him, throwing two or three bodies at him all night long. So he’s got so much on his plate and we just need to proceed to seek out ways to get him open within the moments we will and proceed to assist him when other players are taking shots and making plays.

Booker currently has two Olympic gold medals, 4 NBA All-Star appearances and one NBA Finals appearance. The only thing missing from the Suns’ second-leading all-time scorer is an NBA championship. Since the Suns joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1968, they’ve yet to win a title.

After experiencing the joys of winning a gold medal, Booker as an NBA champion wants the gold Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy much more.

“Most of the guys that were there did it,” Booker said of his Olympic teammates who were NBA champions. “They were champions. This is standard for them. Anything lower than that, they need nothing to do with it. It’s contagious…

“That’s all I want. That’s all I want.”
