Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards doubles up as one of the NBA’s most powerful players on the field and one of the funniest players off the field.
Highlights videos from Edwards, the sophomore helped make a name for himself in the league, but don’t expect him to enter the NBA Slam Dunk anytime soon (or ever):
This year’s competition is scheduled to take place on February 19 during the NBA All-Star Weekend at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. Portland Trail Blazers guard Anvernee Simmons won the competition last year.

For now, Edwards is focused on guiding the Timberwolves to the playoffs. He averaged 22.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists for a 22-23 team and is currently sitting at 9th in the Western Conference.
