[Saba Sports News] Minnesota Timberwolves standout Anthony Edwards made a jaw-dropping statement on Monday with what could be the dunk of the year.
In a game against the Utah Jazz, with the Timberwolves trailing 66-65 in the third quarter, Edwards received a pinpoint pass from Nickeil Alexander-Walker during a fastbreak. Without hesitation, Edwards soared from several feet outside the restricted area, posterizing Jazz center John Collins in a thunderous slam.
Even Edwards himself was in awe of his own feat, as he watched a replay of the dunk during a postgame interview, dubbing it the “best of my career.”
The electrifying play seemed to ignite Edwards’ performance for the rest of the game. He notched an impressive stat line of 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Edwards has been establishing himself as one of the most captivating players in the NBA, evidenced by his recent near-dunk on Anthony Davis and his spectacular game-sealing block against the Indiana Pacers earlier in the month, where he nearly hit his head on the rim.
In the game against the Jazz, Edwards led the Timberwolves to a 114-104 victory, delivering 32 points on 13/23 shooting along with 7 rebounds and 8 assists.
