The Minnesota Timberwolves young superstar joins an elite company with LeBron James and Kevin Durant, two prolific scorers that have made their mark in the game, and the only two scorers who did it faster.

Edwards achieved the feat in 24 years, 156 days, even surpassing the great Kobe Bryant in the all-time list. Edwards also became the 7th player in league history to score 10,000 points before turning 25 years old, joining LeBron, KD, Kobe, Luka, T-Mac, and Carmelo Anthony.

Edwards, who was the 1st pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, adds another milestone in his ever growing NBA career after two straight all-star seasons and back-to-back Western Conference Finals.

The 24-year-old is poised to add another all-star appearance in his career this season with career-high averages of 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.
