It’s only February, but Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards delivered a standout candidate for dunk of the year on Friday night against the Toronto Raptors.
The 2020 No. 1 overall pick drove from the corner, elevated just at the edge of the paint and floated above Toronto’s Yuta Watanabe, throwing down a tremendously powerful one-handed dunk as Watanabe helplessly crumpled to the floor. Edwards landed awkwardly on top of Watanabe, but fortunately neither player was not injured during the play.
NBA fans and players alike couldn’t believe it. Take a look at this:
