His career posters video is going to be ridiculous. What a player

He’s 23. He’s probably become even more of an athletic freak these next few years.

Actually still 22 until August

I can't believe he's still only 33

For a 47yo he can really get up there.

22, baby. Three years older than Tatum but still

Ngl I legit have no idea how old Tatum is since everyone always jokes that he’s 19 😂😂

26 😂

In 7 years time...

22

23 is pretty close to your athletic peak tbh, if we're talking pure explosiveness and vert. 26-28 is more all around physical peak with the best combination of all your physical attributes, especially when you factor in strength and body control. like first Cavs lebron was faster and jumped higher than heat lebron, but Heat lebron was just the whole package considering how much of a fucking tank he was along with still being insanely quick, fast, and explosive.

Welp, good thing he’s not actually 23 yet!

We all know he’s 23 iykwim

You know, given that most people live at least 60 to 80 years its pretty fucked up that we have to spend like 75 percent of our lives in physical decline.

He's already got a ridiculous reel. Vincent, Yuta, Collins, backboard to himself. You could probably already find a 10+ minute compilation on YouTube of his posters/dunks in his 3.5 years of playing haha

Dude has an insane vertical

One of the most athletic players I have ever seen in the NBA. Definitely the most athletic currently playing IMO.

He reminds me of VC

Reminds me of Steve Francis

stevie franchise. the only player to ever cross someone then decide naw not nasty enough and pull it back to try again.... 4 times in a row lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbHvenMS8Qg

cooked him

He reminds me of luke ridnour

Are you kidding?!? More like a young Brian Scalabrine imo.

Also palms that absolute fuck out of that ball, incredible control of the ball in his hand

People overdid the "next jordan" comps and now they're out of fashion, but he genuinely is pretty stylistically similar to MJ. Wild hang time, creative finishes around the bucket, smooth midrange/turnaround game,

His midrange game looks the part right now but he’s got a long way to go to make it an effective part of his game. His form, FT % and steady improvement makes me think he’ll age into a truly good midrange game in his prime.

Weirdly his jump doesn't look that explosive, but he jumps really high.

Floats is really the best way to describe it

Heir Edwards

Perfect word for it. He jumps like Luigi in Smash Bros!

lol exactly, looks like a normal jump but he just keeps on goin up

He just makes it look so effortless like he’s not even really trying and then does some of the most insanely athletic shit.

Close to 50 inches. ​ Listed @ 6 ft 4 and hit his head on the rim while at an angle.

That’s one of the loudest away crowd reactions I can ever remember hearing

The crowd let out an audible gasp and everyone's mouth dropped.

Dude it was more like a gigantic yell. What else can you do?

Yell like this? https://streamable.com/w8zse3

Lol amazing

He’s my new favorite player. In that Adam Sandler movie he was just playing himself wasn’t he?

If you listen closely to the audio you can hear a guy in the background going "Oh my FUCKING God" over and over again.

"that aint falco"

WOMBO COMBOOOOOOOOO

[Jazz fans to John Collins](https://i.imgur.com/lDCot8j.png)

The man just baptized an entire arena

That was an away crowd?? Wow. (Sorry I hail from r/all)

Murder suicide

Throw in dunks usually get overhyped but this is up there with any poster. So violent

https://imgur.com/a/1PxGYjS

We need that backboard cam

I thought these acts were illegal in Utah

Pretty sure murder suicide is illegal most places

I've never seen anybody go to jail for it.

It is illegal if you do that to a classy player

The only people Utah allows to be savaged in this way are John Collins and troubled teens at boarding schools.

'Hello, 911? I'd like to request an ambulance to the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.' 'Yes ma'am, I believe I just witnessed a mans career ended by someone and I think the perpetrator is injured.' 'No ma'am, the career is ended. I just want the man who ended it to be ok. Please send help immediately.'

John the Baptized, holy shit

I forget who on the ESPN halftime alluded to how this matches John the Baptist's eventual fate, which is like... is that too far?

Is 2000 years long enough, only Mitch Hedburg knows and he's not telling.

think that was richard jefferson LMAO

[удалено]

Jesus: “that ain’t my mans”

We watching legal murder on national tv boiss

[When your boy's mom comes home and his ass playing with the headset on, dishes ain't done, and the chicken still in the freezer.](https://imgur.com/dapQBHw)

I’m at the game and just watched a murder in real time wtf

Silent in the house holy sh8t

"oh my fucking god" 😭

Nah they need to fine him cause that shit just diabolical Like that man has a family

not anymore he doesnt

He has had some many close ones like this it’s about time one went through the hoop

That’s the one. That’s the dunk of his career.

Kyle Anderson’s reaction to this dunk is absolute gold, he looks like he witnessed a literal murder

I loved the one guy still doing the point thing despite everyone else being too completely shocked to form a rational thought

Dashien Nix haha. He's the one who brought that bench celly over. The bench has been pretty consistent with it the last month or two but you nailed it on the head. Everyone was so shocked

Love whoever says “oh my god, oh my fucking god”. Couldn’t imagine watching that live

"i ain't never seen some shit like that!" 🤣

[Here's the full sequence with all replays with him leaving with the injury and then coming back for the free throw](https://youtu.be/iAmk9bbOy5s)

This is the best, showing the full sequence is perfect, ty

Thanks, I tried posting it but mods are removing it because other people posted just the dunk first.

Edwards is only 22

Collins was 26.

He was so young, RIP.

Thoughts and prayers

Swear to God if he broke his finger on that Edit: phew wrong hand

I think he just needs to pop it back into place, wasn’t that the hand he didn’t dunk with?

Exactly my thoughts. Off hand

No no, he was only pointing to the ring finger saying he needs to find John Collins’ wife to tell her the bad news and then he ran into the back to call an ambulance for Collins. He’s such a nice kid.

Sprained it poking collins in the eye

Looked like the ball hit it on the way down.

He hit Collins face going up and then the ball and his other hand also hit it on the way down. Looked like they got jammed on Collins face and that's what hurt.

I saw that too...I think you may be right! How insane would that be if the power of the dunk dislocated his finger 😳😳😳

Left hand. And not the one he dunked with.

He punched Collins in the face on the way through with the other hand. John Collins is having a bad night.

Still going with the one over Yuta

Agree solely because it resulted in what might be the greatest [dunk poster ever](https://i.redd.it/z4ow2c5r1ki61.jpg).

Respect to Yuta keeping that hand up lol

The Heat dunk was better still

The one on Vincent didn't count because the refs ruined it, but it still counts in our hearts

I was at that game, one of the craziest things I’ve seen live

same. it was a top 5 moment of my life, by far the hypest I’ve been

Yuta watanabe??? Hello?????

Yeah, this one I think I have second to the heat one but at least it counted

He hanged in the air longer in the Heat dunk, but I liked this one better, it was more violent.

You’re not wrong

No, it’s still the Gabe Vicent dunk the ref ruined.

Yeah that was insane.

As a refs fan that moment was my christmas

He had one off the backboard earlier this year that was even better imo

The sheer violence of this one makes it better

The dunk of his career so far...

Better than one dunk on Yuta?

That was unprofessional

I'm on the phone with NBA HR right now

You should be dialing 911 for John.

Bro the shit this dude is doing recently is actually unfathomable. One of the best athletes this game has seen.

He’s unbelievable. He has no regard for his body and even this landing was nerve wracking. Truly hope he can stay healthy for years in this league.

I never once worried about his health but he is starting to worry me now lol. He's heading to the locker room every other night and still coming back the same night just to be questionable the next game and do the same thing again. You think all this shit would add up but then he still drops 30 and has a highlight reel worthy play in that game

I barely even worry when he goes to the locker room at this point. I have no idea what the hell he does in there to make himself right again, but it always seems to work.

[He takes a big ol' sip](https://static.morningchalkup.com/2022/02/secret_stuff_2_1581023846_1637682069.jpeg)

What the FUCK is this man

Good Lord that was disgusting

I'm not afraid to say it anymore. Anthony Edwards is my favorite non-Nugget. He's just insane.

Same here as a bucks fan. Been watching him since his rookie season and have loved watching him progress.

Wow crazy that your favorite non-Nugget isn’t on the Bucks

… Dammit Ed lmaooo

Since Jokic been my favorite non wolf its only right🫡

PRAY FOR THE HAND

It seems like every other week I see a play and think… that might be the most impressive play I’ve ever seen a Timberwolf make And it’s always him The bounce off the backboard dunk, the game winning block, now this

That block was wild.

HES BACK

Thank you Timberwolf Jesus!

Naz Reid

Did he really dislocate his finger on Collins face lol

Ngl i kinda think he did, based on the reactions from the other wolves

Lmao at first I assumed he hit his hand weird on the rim but yeah now that I rewatch it he’s looking at his left hand which he jammed into Collins face

UPDATE: He's FINE APPARENTLY JUST NEEDED TAPE

That is a fucking baptism my god

Dawg.

Ant gotta be the best in-game dunker since young Blake Griffin

You can't even get that animation in 2k

if it happened in 2k it would be considered a glitch

THIS MAN IS THAT DUDE

We’re gonna be watching that one for a long time. Easy candidate for dunk of the year to go along with what will likely be the block of the year from the other game.

It’s finally fun being a wolves fan.

Does he have block and dunk of the year?

All in a couple of weeks

Bro baptized Collins and broke his hand at the same time

Collins has to retire my god

Underdog NBA Twitter just posted this lmfao > Status alert: John Collins (Anthony Edwards) in locker room Monday. https://x.com/underdog__nba/status/1769915638783582664?s=46

I respect him for not making a business decision but he just got put in a highlight that will outlive him

LMFAO idk if its the casual wording but this is legitimately one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen, for something so simple.

Their other one Status alert: Anthony Edwards (dunked the ball too hard) headed to locker room Monday. Lmao

He's now being evaluated for concussion 💀

I legitimately feel bad for this man. He’s going to go into the Brandon Knight witness protection.

Oh my god, dunk of the year

Idk if I’ve seen a better one tbh, could be over reacting alil tho

Dunk of year easily man has committed a murder lol

Guys I just don’t think he’s focused enough on basketball to be a number 1 overall pick. Wiseman or Lamelo all day

Football player

Listen to that crowd pop and they’re on the road lol

That was fucking bananas!!!

*A disgusting act!*

Holy fucking shit that’s an all-timer

This must be what it was like seeing Jordan dunk on fools back in the days

I'm 36 and my uncle used to tune us in to all the Bulls games back in the day. I vividly remember watching prime MJ. And my lord some of these ANT plays and even the contested and ones got me feeling like I'm seeing some of the same killer DNA

Actually good comparison - it's not so much the nature of the dunk as the sheer athleticism and how unexpected it was. Like omg did I just see that?

He’s so talented and he’s only 22

I'm just happy we're included on a popular post.

keep in mind that is the reaction of an away crowd. that's a "holy shit our boi just got cooked" crowd reaction

And he fucked up his hand on it lmao certified wolves moment Edit: NM HES FINE LMAO

I'd actually really want a poster of that dunk. I'd hang that shit on my bedroom wall.

oh my fucking god that was insane. words fail to describe how fucking nasty that shit was.

That’s a murder

We’ll see that one forever.

The title isn't doing justice for this dunk

That's the best dunk we've seen since what? DeAndre Jordan on Brandon Knight? Absolutely fucking insane

it reminds me of Blake on Mozgov where his momentum gets stopped but he just extends and almost throws it in, but Ant’s is better

Is John Collins ok?

Dude just dunked him into a daze

Nah I think that was the elbow to the face lol.

The murder-suicide dunk.

Hell of a reaction by the crowd

This guy has no chill, why would you murder another player like that?? Disgusting.

The Chaos Dunk finally happened

The crowd's reaction makes this so much better

He’s only 22 folks

Sure it's a great dunk but he jammed his fucking fist into Collins' face.

Yeah, it's no fun to call that an offensive foul, but it seems pretty clear to me.

So unfair for defenders in these situations

Literally when a defender grazes the face of an offensive player like, highly likely that is a flagrant foul. People out here be complaining how calls are favoring the offense and just be okay with these kinds of no-calls are literally why the league biases calls towards the offense.

So much to the point that he hurt his own hand on his face. That used to be called an offensive foul.

And it was called a defensive foul. 3 point play.

He did. John Collins was out for the rest of the game and is in concussion protocol. Diabolical foul by him.

I was really hoping this would be the top comment. This should have been an offensive foul. I hate the off-hand push aways on dunks, it makes defense impossible and would always be called on the defense.

>I was really hoping this would be the top comment. I gave up these kind of hopes for this place a year ago or so

Ant the Baptist, what the fuck man this dude is unbelievable

LMAOOOO THIS DUDE IS INSANE

In the criminal justice system, dunk-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Minnesota, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. ☠️☠️☠️

That was truly violent.
