Anthony Edwards has collected plenty of posters throughout his glint five-year NBA career.

The Timberwolves supernova is one of basketball’s grandest leapers, blessed with awe-inspiring spring and gobs of audacity. There was his demolition of John Collins, his teardown of Yuta Watanabe, and his eruption over Kevin Durant, among others.

But it’s hard to imagine one of his jams proving more timely than the one he authored up in the third quarter of Minnesota’s Game 3 duel against the Warriors.

Just don’t tell Kevon Looney that.

Here’s a look at Edwards’ most recent aerial antics, a one-handed finish that left much of the basketball world in a tizzy.

Edwards might’ve struggled to start the contest. But by the time he vaulted over Looney, he was percolating, caught in the midst of a third-quarter flurry that saw him produce 15 points in the frame.

None were as loud as his slam, an artistic effort that saw him dispose of one defender before striding toward Looney’s beanstalk-like frame.

Edwards is a two-footed leaper. Most of his more eye-catching finishes have come after pointing his right shoulder toward the target, launching off two, and dancing through the air until making contact with the rim.

Saturday’s flush was no exception. Edwards faced up Looney, sprung toward the rafters, and eclipsed his wayward adversary.

He even let out a yell on his dismount. 

Edwards’ comrades were understandably enthused. They made sure to help Looney remember his Kodak moment, pointing toward the Warriors big as he strutted up the floor. 

Edwards was far from his best in the opening two quarters. In the second frame alone, Edwards tallied a single solitary point, with all four of his field goal attempts going wayward.

The second half was a different story. Edwards found his rhythm from all three levels of the floor. And as his production swelled, so did his team’s.
