Anthony Edwards

By the finale of a 97-game 2024-25 season that saw his Minnesota Timberwolves reach the Western Conference Finals for a second-straight season, Anthony Edwards’ reputation as the NBA’s version of the “Legend Killer” was all but solidified. But, make no mistake about it: with can’t-miss highlights against players young and old, small and large, and everything of the kind, buckets could reasonably be labeled as “E for Everyone” if No. 5 was involved. Every evening with Edwards came equipped with the possibility of a “did you see that”-type highlight; pairing audacious confidence with one-of-a-kind physical gifts to match, Edwards stuffed multiple “Dunk of the Year” entries through the ballot box. And, in the event that defenders showed too much respect to his through-the-air artistry, the Wolves’ mega talent made sure to sprinkle in 320 regular-season 3-pointers, No. 1 across the NBA. Elevated both on-court and on year-to-year spreadsheets, Edwards upped his scoring average (27.6) for a fifth-consecutive time, alongside commendable tallies in rebounds (5.7), assists (4.5), steals (1.2), and efficiency (45-40-84). Under that backdrop, perhaps only one question remains going forward in 2025-26: just how much higher can Minnesota’s steadily-ascending superstar keep rising?
