Anthony Edwards is one of the most ruthless dunkers among the young NBA players. Over his on-going short career in the NBA, the young star has given basketball fans, some dunk highlights to remember. Recently, Edwards made Alperen Sengun, his victim again. In the game between Minnesota Timberwolves and Houston Rockets, the Ant-Man put the arena on fire, as he not only scored his season high but also made sure that he filled the internet with highlights. Ant’s dunk over the new Rockets’ sensation made the highlight of the day.
With over three minutes remaining in the third quarter, Edwards took the ball through the half-court. He was being defended by Jalen Green. Through a screen, Ant took the ball from the left. He quickly rose up around the rim and dunked the ball over Sengun. However, what stood out was the ruthlessness of the dunk. It appeared like Edwards wanted to put Sengun on the poster and that’s exactly what he did.
While the Timberwolves star rose up for the dunk, the Rockets’ defender jumped up with two hands straight in the air. However, having the advantage of his defender within the circle, putting his opponent on the poster, a player like Edwards would never miss. What happened next, perhaps made it even more embarrassing for the Rockets. In the next play, an inbound pass was made by Green. The Wolves’ Jaden McDaniels stole the ball and made a layup to get the lead at 49-46 for the Timberwolves.
