Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards dropped jaws on Thursday evening with a spectacular particular person effort in opposition to the Memphis Grizzlies, throughout which he threw up a self alley-oop and completed it with authority.
Edwards was guarded by Xavier Tillman throughout the third quarter, and he managed to create some separation with a nasty hesitation transfer and a fast pump faux. He then proceeded to toss the ball off the backboard to himself and throw down a vicious dunk in between three Grizzlies defenders.
Edwards confirmed off his full offensive skillset throughout the highlight-reel play in opposition to Memphis, leaving Tillman befuddled as he blew previous him for a surprising basket.
It’s value noting that Edwards was questionable to play on Thursday, on the second leg of a back-to-back, as he was coping with tendinitis in his knee.
The outstanding play from the 22-year-old left NBA followers awestruck, as they have been mystified by his artful show.
