"This is the ANT we know holy sht": NBA fans stunned as Anthony Edwards unleashes vicious poster dunk on $22,500,000 Warriors vet

Throughout the 2025 NBA playoffs, Anthony Edwards has pulled off one highlight after another. In Game 3 of the Minnesota Timberwolves' second-round series against the Golden State Warriors, Edwards created another viral moment that set the internet on fire.

With under two minutes to go in the third quarter and the Warriors up 67-62, Ant-Man drove down the gut of the defense and was met by Kevon Looney at the rim. Though Looney — a veteran on a $22.5 million contract, according to Spotrac — has held the fort against athletic specimens for years, he found himself on the wrong end of a posterizing dunk in this sequence:

Edwards' dunk over Looney drew plenty of excitement from fans online:

"This is the ANT we know holy sht," one fan tweeted.

"Delete the footage man," another fan tweeted.

"OMG ANT," another fan reacted.

"Surprised it’s not a offensive foul," another fan stated.

"F*** THE WARRIORS," another fan commented.

"THERE WE GO ANT!!," another fan echoed.

Edwards' jaw-dropping showcase of athleticism was perhaps the highlight of the Wolves' 102-97 victory over the Warriors on Saturday. Having pulled off this hard-fought Game 3 win in front of the roaring crowd inside Chase Center, Minnesota has now regained homecourt advantage as they seize a 2-1 series lead.

Ant-Man led the way with 36 points, four rebounds, and four assists. Julius Randle had a triple-double performance with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists while Jaden McDaniels chipped in 15 points and six rebounds.

Anthony Edwards gets candid on his sensational play: "One thing I never lack is confidence"

More than his raw strength and his incredible hops, Edwards' most prominent attribute appears to be his belief in his ability to succeed. The three-time All-Star emphasized this in his post-game interview:

"One thing I never lack is confidence. If I got that I'll be alright," Edwards told reporters.

Edwards, of course, held on to his self-conviction even as analysts doubted the Timberwolves' chances of overcoming the LA Lakers in the first round. After helping dispatch of the Lakers via a gentleman's sweep, Edwards has continued his stellar play in the second round, averaging 26.3 points and nine rebounds against the Warriors.
