00:00What's up, GQ? It's Anthony Edwards. Today, I'm going undercover on the internet.
00:05It's actually me.
00:08I got the skill. I need Will.
00:10Don't holler at me.
00:12Don't help me out with these questions, sir.
00:13Okay, then.
00:15TikTok.
00:17It says, who's the other guy?
00:20Like, who's Slick?
00:20That's my partner. You see me? You see Slick?
00:23Two players.
00:26When y'all walk, y'all talk.
00:28It's Slick and Subtle and Smooth, and it works for everybody.
00:33We had practice 2016 going into 2017.
00:38You know, buddy, he coming strong on, so.
00:40I'm mean to everybody, like new team, you know.
00:43Everybody introducing theyself, and he just so happened to be the last person to walk out of the locker room.
00:48Got a little special treat, man.
00:50I had a couple jokes for him when I first saw him.
00:54First time mean him, but other than that, he was pretty cool.
00:57It's something I ain't never did in my life.
01:00It'll be 82 years to get him.
01:02Gramps keep it real.
01:04So this is where Ant gets his from, pretty much.
01:07I was always around my grandpa for like five, six years straight, so.
01:11Just sitting around him, soaking up all his game.
01:14I had the pleasure to meet him.
01:15He had no jokes with me, but he gave me some real-life game.
01:18That's what made it funny, because it was real life.
01:20A joke isn't good unless it's got some truth to it.
01:26Why is he wearing that orange wristband?
01:29I wore the orange wristband because I met this kid named Luca in Detroit, I think.
01:34Yeah, that's right.
01:34He had a wristband for me.
01:36And, you know, I just told him I'd wear it for the rest of my career, so.
01:40That don't mean everybody try to get me wristbands.
01:42Try to get me to wear y'all wristbands.
01:44It was just a one-time thing.
01:45Who's some artists on your game day and workout playlist?
01:52I'm coming.
01:53B Different.
01:55B Different.
01:57Who the other artists?
01:58B Different.
02:00Pretty much.
02:01You forgot that boy B.
02:03He know the difference.
02:04Yeah.
02:05B Different, for sure.
02:06It was one of his first ones.
02:07I was featured on one of them.
02:10I don't want to, but when you're talking about that, we're talking about B Different right now.
02:13He the one.
02:15They ain't got a catalog.
02:16And they say it's catalog worth more than a lot of these rappers I have.
02:19Nah, we tell my bug, be different.
02:22That's who I'm listening to.
02:23Every day, all day.
02:25Wikipedia.
02:28Edward spent his early life in Oakland City, Atlanta, Georgia, when he was three years old.
02:34He was given the nickname Ant-Man by his father.
02:37For sure.
02:38Yeah, true.
02:39My football coaches, one of them called me Black Jesus.
02:42My basketball coach used to call me Boogie.
02:44I had a couple different names.
02:46Instagram.
02:47Okay, then.
02:49Why Nick not hooping?
02:50I got my pension and got the hell on.
02:53I'm retired.
02:53He got kicked off the team in high school.
02:55My coach, he was hating on me.
02:57Nah, he was being bad in school, y'all.
02:59No way.
03:00For the kids who are watching this, y'all be good in school.
03:04If y'all want to be able to play basketball, do all your schoolwork, do your homework, be
03:08good in school so you don't get kicked off the team.
03:11Because it results in questions like this.
03:13Why Nick not hooping?
03:14He got kicked off the team because he was being bad in school.
03:17And he's not a bad kid at all.
03:19He was just acting out.
03:20He eventually got put back on the team.
03:22Yeah, you know, thanks to my boy, you know, him strong, arming some folks.
03:27Sure.
03:31What whip is that they pushing?
03:33I have no clue.
03:35I'm not going to lie.
03:36Well, due to the fact that I have expertise in all cars, mate, born in American, that is
03:42a Bentley Bentayga.
03:43And I was driving it like I don't love my life.
03:46I don't really know where I got my trash talking from because it's unique.
04:03I think it's just me.
04:05I don't know.
04:05I ain't really get it from nobody because like my brother who I wanted to be like growing
04:08up, he quiet.
04:10You can hear a pin drop when he around.
04:12So I probably would say my sister for real.
04:14Like my sister, when she used to play, she used to talk a lot of trash.
04:18So like probably from her, if anybody.
04:21Ain't never been it.
04:29Love to see that they've gotten closer.
04:31What's one thing you learn from KD on and off the court?
04:34One thing I learned from him on the court, he definitely was like helping me with catching
04:40and shooting the ball.
04:41Like he was trying to get me to find my rhythm, how I would like catch and shoot the ball because
04:45I would step left, right or right, left or hop into it or do weird stuff when I try to
04:51catch the ball to find a rhythm.
04:52And he always like catch it with some type of rhythm.
04:55So he was trying to help me with that.
04:57So I will say that and off the court, I ain't learned nothing from him off the court.
05:02He's just cool.
05:02Super cool to be around.
05:04Yeah, he just be chilling for real.
05:07Quora.
05:08What made Anthony Edwards Adidas shoes so appealing to basketball fans?
05:13I think number one is me wearing the shoe.
05:16Number two is probably how good they look.
05:19They feel great to me.
05:20They the best shoe I ever put on in my life.
05:23You know, they look good.
05:24So that's pretty much why.
05:27X.
05:30How do you think your draft class panned out so far?
05:33Redraft the top five.
05:34Me at one.
05:36I would go LaMelo at two.
05:37I'm going Tyrese Maxey at three.
05:39Tyrese Halliburton at four.
05:40I'm going Jaden.
05:42Shit, Jaden McDaniels.
05:44I ain't gonna lie, I'm going Jaden.
05:45I was trying to find something.
05:47Nah, I'm going Jaden.
05:48Sure.
05:50Reddit.
05:52How has Ant Edwards evolved since being drafted?
05:54I became a pretty good three-point shooter.
05:57My reason pick and roll has gotten a little better every year.
06:01My ball handling is getting better every day because I've been working on it.
06:05And I've been, you know, trying to grow as a leader, I would say.
06:08So.
06:12YouTube.
06:15Is he still eating those hot fries every day in 2025?
06:20No, I'm, no, I'm not.
06:21I was never really eating that many bags of hot fries anyway, but y'all took it and ran
06:26with it and let you know everything you need to know about the internet.
06:32Does Ant feel bad about dunking on people the way he does?
06:35Hell no.
06:36I wish I could dunk on every fucking body.
06:38I want to dunk on everybody.
06:39Swear to God.
06:40Hold on.
06:45We need the back story of this.
06:47What really went down with Obama?
06:48We was all just chopping it up.
06:50And I think he was just curious.
06:52He just said something like, what's up with this young fella?
06:54I mean, he don't know me.
06:55I ain't won no championships.
06:56I ain't get no chance to meet him.
06:57So that's his first time meeting, you know, so it's a great introduction.
07:08Do we think Ant-Man could hold his own in the NFL?
07:11Y'all know they put me in Madden, so just go buy my Mutt card.
07:15I bought my Mutt card the other day, yesterday, so y'all, let's see.
07:19Y'all get y'all answer.
07:20Playing in the NFL?
07:21Nah, I'm cool.
07:23I mean, I want to, but I love where I'm at.
07:25Ant played this role too well, where he returned to the big screen.
07:33If I create my own movie, like my own show, then yeah, but not for nobody else.
07:38But I had an awesome time working with Wancho and Adam Sandler and everybody.
07:44Yeah, that was dope.
07:45So I had a good time.
