Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is known by fans to showcase his elite game every now and then. This time, he displayed a move never before seen in the game of basketball.

Seven minutes into the game against the Dallas Mavericks, Edwards was trying to slowly drive toward the basket. However, he was met with strong defense from Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy. Edwards moved to his right for the first fake. Seeing Hardy follow, he stepped back and spun around a full 360 degrees which ultimately gave him a bit of space. Then he took off for a fadeaway shot which went in. The incredible move surprised fans in the crowd and around the world.

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 44 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. DPOY frontrunner Rudy Gobert added 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The Timberwolves overcame a Dallas Mavericks team without their two lead stars winning 118-110. With this win, the Timberwolves move to 23-7, solidifying their Western Conference lead.
