Anthony Edwards

On many occasions, the most gravity-defying dunks a fan can expect to see are the ones including mascots and trampolines, often during a game’s intermission. Five minutes out of halftime, though, Anthony Edwards — with Minnesota ahead by 17, no less — confirmed that even with springboards and on-paper advantages, anyone attempting to outjump him on November 15, 2024 would’ve had their work cut out for them. Best described as something you’ve rarely seen before, Edwards kickstarts a most-unforgettable sequence by halting his momentum fluidly on a brake-pumping crossover against Keegan Murray. Sprung free, and now officially prepared for liftoff, the two-time All-Star catapults into a ferocious flush over a pair of helpless Sacramento Kings defenders, leaving even the road crowd buzzing in a conflicted support. Spoiling a 60-point showpiece from the opposing side’s All-Star, Edwards, for a second time, helped guide the Minnesota Timberwolves’ crunchtime conquering of Sacramento, this time through 36 points (on 14-of-27 shooting), alongside five boards, two assists, and six trifectas.
