Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards helped propel his team to a win on Monday night, and his game kicked into a different gear during the second half after he threw down what was perhaps the dunk of the 2023–24 season over Utah Jazz forward John Collins.
After the win, the 22-year-old was shown the replay of his monstrous jam on the court during his postgame interview with Bally Sports, and even Edwards himself couldn’t help but admire his own work of art.
“Oh my god. That’s my biggest dunk of my career, I’m not gonna lie,” said Edwards. “I couldn’t even react because I dislocated my finger… I couldn’t react to it. I wish I could’ve reacted to it.”
"Oh my gawd!"
Anthony Edwards' reaction to his poster dunk on John Collins is hilarious 😂

Both Edwards and Collins were injured during the dunk. Minnesota’s star guard suffered a dislocated finger, though he was able to play out the remainder of the game. Collins did not return after sustaining a head contusion on the play.
Edwards has not shied away from going for a huge poster dunk every now and then, and he didn’t balk when a prime opportunity presented itself on Monday night against Utah. His postgame reaction said it all, as he could barely believe what he’d pulled off when given the opportunity to get a better look at his dunk.
