Anthony Edwards has done something so remarkable that the whole world is talking about him. Edwards helped in turnover for the Minnesota Timberwolves and with a quick one-two with Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Edwards saw the gap and exploited it by delivering a flying dunk. Utah Jazz forward John Collins was posterized and also suffered a head injury while trying to defend Edwards.

However, Ant-Man hurt his left hand in the process. But thankfully he was able to continue, and after the game, he reacted to his incredible moment. The 22-year-old explained because of his injury he couldn’t celebrate, and called it his best dunk of the career.

Fans and the Legends of the game too can’t stop tweeting about the dunk, hailing it as the dunk of the year. Chandler Parsons on Run It Back explained why he feels it is clearly the dunk of the year. He said Edwards’s ability to fly that high and then being able to convert it into points was “nasty“.
