Anthony Edwards is one of the NBA's best and brightest young superstars, and it seems as if he continues to grow and develop as time marches on.

On Monday, he led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 117-110 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals with 30 points and six 3-pointers. As a result, they're one victory away from a second straight trip to the Western Conference Finals.

Just after their Game 4 win in San Francisco, Edwards gave a young fan at Chase Center his game-worn jersey. It is a souvenir that will be worth a fortune, and it provided that fan with a moment that will never be forgotten.

Once the playoffs started, few expected the Timberwolves to be in the position they're currently in. But Edwards has gotten them this far by stepping up his game and exploding when they have needed him to.

He went off for 43 points in Game 4 of the first round against the Los Angeles Lakers, and on Saturday, he posted 36 points in Game 3 versus Golden State as Minnesota won by five points.

Last year, he had a couple of big performances in the second round as Minnesota knocked off the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets while winning three of four games in Denver.

Edwards averaged 27.6 points a game while shooting 39.5% from 3-point range during the regular season. He's not only one of the game's most exciting players, but he has a tremendous amount of chutzpah that makes him charming and likable.
