Watch as LeBron hilariously mocks Anthony Edwards' not-so-graceful champagne-popping skills after the USA clinches gold!

It’s not every day that an athlete you admire finds themselves the butt of a joke—especially when it’s from the King himself! Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, who had a stellar run as a reserve for Team USA during the 2024 Paris Olympics, found the celebration of their gold medal win turning into a comedic affair. As the confetti fell and the excitement bubbled over, Edwards attempted to pop a bottle of champagne. However, let’s just say the delivery wasn’t exactly flawless. Is there a trick to this, or did Edwards go to the school of hard knocks in champagne celebrations?

The viral moment kicked off when LeBron James shared a video poking fun at Edwards’ struggle to master the celebratory art of champagne popping. With his trademark laughter, LeBron quipped about how Edwards might need some lessons, making sure that fans everywhere were reminded of the occasional hilarity that accompanies athletic achievements. The video quickly traveled across social media platforms, with fans joining in on the roasting, making it clear that while Edwards might be gold-worthy, his champagne-popping skills were still a work in progress.

But how did the moment of trolling not only bring smiles but also unity among fans? Edwards’ sincere efforts on the court and his comical hiccup in the celebration remind all of us that no matter how skilled a player is, they’re still human. Watching superstars like Edwards grapple with everyday challenges can make them more relatable and less like untouchable heroes. After all, who hasn’t had a slip-up trying to impress their friends at a party?

In case you missed it, Anthony Edwards was a key player in securing Team USA's gold medal at the Olympics, showing his immense talent and promise at a young age. Meanwhile, LeBron James continues to prove that even as he nears the twilight of his career, he remains one of the league’s most entertaining personalities—both on and off the court. Fun fact: Did you know that Edwards became the youngest Timberwolves player to score over 1,000 points in a season? And James, despite all his accolades, still shines as a big brother figure to younger stars in the NBA!
