Anthony Edwards Soars to New Heights with Jaw-Dropping Self-Pass Dunk, a Serious Contender for Dunk of the Year
The pivotal moment occurred in the third quarter, with just two minutes remaining. Positioned at the top of the key, Edwards took advantage of a defensive switch, finding himself matched against the opposing center, Xavier Tillman. Employing a double between-the-legs dribble, Edwards executed a convincing pump fake that sent Tillman out of position. Seizing the opportunity, Edwards, with a halted dribble, elevated himself from beyond the free-throw line.
In a gravity-defying move, Edwards lofted the ball towards the backboard, initiating a perfectly timed self-pass alley-oop dunk that left spectators in awe.
As the 2023-24 NBA season approaches its midway point, the competition for the coveted “Dunk of the Year” title intensifies. Young superstars like Ja Morant and Victor Wembanyama showcased their dunking prowess in a head-to-head matchup. Morant’s posterizing dunk on the seven-foot-four rookie added to the array of contenders, contributing to the Memphis Grizzlies’ 106-98 victory.
LeBron James also made a statement in the battle of LA on January 8, delivering a powerful dunk on Clippers forward Paul George. James’ full-speed transition dunk, initiated by a turnover, showcased his unmatched size and athleticism, leaving George with no chance to challenge.
Notably, Anthony Edwards continued his dunking display with another feature dunk on a previous Wednesday. Challenging sophomore center Jalen Duren at the top of the key, Edwards opted for an impressive dunk instead of an easy alley-oop, further solidifying his status as a dunking force to be reckoned with in the NBA.
