MOVE OVER, KOBE! 🐺🏀
Anthony Edwards didn’t just help the Timberwolves take down Cleveland — he announced, loudly, that he’s done waiting for permission to be called a superstar. In a night that felt bigger than the box score, Edwards shattered a Kobe Bryant–held benchmark and etched his name into elite NBA company. That’s not “future face of the league” talk anymore. That’s right-now dominance.
From the opening tip, Ant played with the kind of confidence you can’t teach. Every drive had bad intentions. Every jumper felt inevitable. Cleveland threw bodies, schemes, and desperation at him, and it didn’t matter. Edwards controlled the game like it belonged to him — because it did.
What made the moment even better was his post-game honesty. No forced humility. No rehearsed clichés. Just Ant being Ant — self-aware, fearless, and completely unbothered by the magnitude of the moment. He knew what he’d done, and he wasn’t afraid to say it meant something.
This is the leap Timberwolves fans have been waiting for. Not potential. Not flashes. Proof. When you’re breaking Kobe records and backing it up with wins, the conversation changes.
Anthony Edwards isn’t knocking on the superstar door anymore.
He kicked it down. 🔥
