Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards ahead of Michael Jordan on all-time NBA record list

Anthony Edwards may have lost his epic clash with Victor Wembanyama on Friday night.

But he proved that he continues to be one of the best young shooting guards the NBA has ever seen.

Edwards put up 32 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists for the Minnesota Timberwolves in their loss to the Spurs in Game 3.

It was the sixth 30-point playoff game for Edwards in the last 363 days.

All told, he has the third-most playoff games of 30 points or more by a shooting guard before turning 25.

Only Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade are ahead of him, according to Real Sports, which means that Edwards is ahead of Michael Jordan in this category, among all the others.

Even in defeat, Edwards' performance was hugely encouraging for the Timberwolves.

After his injury in the prior round, he'd been a bit rocky in the first two games of the series against the Spurs.

This was a breakout back to his usual level. If Minnesota can keep getting this level from Ant, the Timberwolves still have a chance.

And at this historic level of play for Edwards, it's a treat for basketball fans everywhere.
