The entire NBA world was on its feet for Anthony Edwards’ amazing dunk on Monday night.
The Minnesota Timberwolves star had possibly the best dunk of the year when he caught air over John Collins of the Utah Jazz.
Following that move, numerous NBA stars were ecstatic about Edwards’ work, including Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics.
“Nah this crazyyyy lol,” Brown said on Twitter.

“Crazy” is one way to describe it; “unsurprising” is another one.
Edwards has been having a remarkable career-defining season this year, averaging 26.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game.
Beyond those numbers, he has been playing with a dominant style and energy that has helped lead the Timberwolves toward the top of the Western Conference standings.
Edwards has caught the attention of many people this year, including other NBA stars and millions of fans.
Because of his incredible work, there is a very good chance that the Timberwolves will have a strong run in the playoffs.
For much of the season, they were the top team in their conference, but recent injuries have hobbled them a little bit.
Through it all, Edwards has been more consistent than ever before and has taken his game to a whole new level.
Edwards was unstoppable on Monday, scoring 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists.
It was the third-straight game with him posting more than 30 points and it was also Minnesota’s third consecutive win.
Monday night’s victory was a good one but Minnesota’s next game is going to be much tougher.
They are about to face off against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, which could give fans a sneak peek at one of the biggest rivalries they’ll see this postseason.
What are the chances that Edwards is able to play like this against Nikola Jokic and his team?
