10,000 Career Points: Anthony Edwards faster than Kobe Bryant

It came after hitting a baseline fadeaway jumper against the Cleveland Cavaliers. At 24 years and 156 days, the Timberwolves star trails only legends LeBron James and Kevin Durant in precocity, officially surpassing Kobe Bryant. He is one of merely seven players to achieve this milestone before turning 25.

"It’s cool, but I know I have a long way to go," Edwards remarked following the 131-122 victory. "It hurts my feelings that I passed Kobe. I would have wanted to wait."

Edwards tallied 25 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds, while Minnesota recorded season-high shooting percentages. Coach Chris Finch praised Edwards' natural scoring instincts, evident since his rookie year. Reaching the mark in 412 games, Edwards joins Kevin Garnett and Karl-Anthony Towns as the only Timberwolves to score 10,000 points, cementing his status among the league's elite talents.
