Anthony Edwards, the rising star from the Minnesota Timberwolves, made a memorable impact in his first Olympic appearance with a spectacular play during Team USA's game against Serbia.
During the final possession of the third quarter, Edwards showcased his skills with a remarkable spin-and-pump-fake move along the baseline. His quick footwork and deceptive fake sent a Serbian defender tumbling past him, creating an open lane to the basket.
With the defender out of position, Edwards calmly floated in an uncontested shot, extending Team USA's lead by 19 points as they headed into the final quarter. The impressive display of athleticism and composure by the young guard electrified his teammates and the crowd in attendance.
Notably, the play also caught the attention of NBA superstar Steph Curry, who joined in the celebrations by breaking into a dance in support of Edwards' highlight-reel moment.
Edwards' performance in the Olympics has been closely watched by fans and analysts alike, as he continues to demonstrate his potential as a future star in the league. His ability to create scoring opportunities and make clutch plays under pressure further solidifies his status as a player to watch in the upcoming NBA season.
