Anthony Edwards (T-Wolves) & Jalen Johnson (Hawks) Flush 2 of the Most Poster-Worthy Tomahawk Jams Youâll Ever Witness
There it is. We put the full portrait right in the newsletter feed so you could see it in all its glory. Last nightâs NBA slate didnât just deliver some run-of-the-mill basketball, but two highlight-reel poster dunks that broke the internet. Both are worth your time (trust me), but one might go down in history.
Hawks’ high-flyer Jalen Johnson put Lakersâ Austin Reaves in the âGot Moss’dâ category last night. It was one of the best and-one poster dunks of the season, and it was the first bucket of the game, too (17 seconds in). Johnson almost jumped over Reaves entirely. And as great as that dunk was, what happened in Utah about an hour earlier was even better.
Timberwolvesâ superstar Anthony Edwards dunked John Collins straight into oblivion (seen above). Ant-Man rose higher than a human should and cocked it back with a vengeance. I see shades of Michael Jordan every time I watch him leap like this. His athleticism and skillset is Jordan-esque, and this dunk was downright disrespectful. Edwards (32 pts, 8 rebs, 7 asts) actually dislocated his finger during the jam, but he returned quickly to hit his free throw and complete the and-one. Minnesota has won three straight, and theyâre back within a half-game of the West lead.
