Anthony Edwards has quickly become one of the NBA's must-see players on a night-in, night-out basis.
The Minnesota Timberwolves' star shooting guard is averaging 27.5 points per night, which is fifth in the NBA behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic and Tyrese Maxey.
That's MVP company, but not every point per game is made the same, and Edwards put up a MVP-like jam on Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It looked like this:

It's important to remember that Chet Holmgren, the young man who Edwards posturized, is 7-foot-1 and is a tremendous shot blocker.
Holmgren had no chance on this one. What an incredible dunk!
