Timberwolves: Counting down the top 5 dunks of Anthony Edwards’ career

2. Offensive Foul Call Versus Miami
Okay, let’s be honest. You knew this play was going to be on the list, even if it technically didn’t count. And that’s because it was probably the most talked about dunk of the entire NBA season, despite the fact it was waived off as an offensive foul.
Ant’s dunk against the Heat last November got over 500,000 views on Bleacher Report’s Twitter, and was one of the biggest plays of Anthony Edwards’ career, simply because of the attention he got for his incredibly athletic move.

When Edwards jumped up and over the helping Gabe Vincent, slamming him into oblivion, all of social media went into a frenzy reacting to the play. And for good reason, as Ant had pulled off in a real game what many players couldn’t do in a dunk contest. While Vincent did in fact set his feet and the play was called as a charge, it’s fair to say it still felt like one of the most exciting moments of Edwards’ career so far.
