Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson had the best angle to witness Anthony Edwards’ best dunk of the year. Anderson’s reaction to the jam up-close did not disappoint.
Edwards on Monday had arguably the most disrespectful dunk of the season when he slammed over Utah Jazz big man John Collins (video here). The tomahawk slam even had the opposing fans at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah fired up.
Anderson also went viral on X for his live reaction to the dunk. The UCLA alum, who stood just a few feet away from the play, was utterly flabbergasted by what he had just witnessed.

The replay of Slo Mo’s reaction gets better every time you rewatch it.
Edwards’ dunk also got every single member of the Timberwolves’ bench on their feet in excitement.

Collins will be seeing himself on the wrong end of a poster dunk for years to come. The play will likely be the crown jewel in any Edwards highlight reels.
But Collins will at least get a consolation prize in the form of Edwards’ game-worn jersey from the contest. Edwards said he was giving it to Collins after a fan had asked for the Timberwolves star’s jersey.
“Can I have your jersey?”
Anthony Edwards: “I gotta give it to Collins.”
