Anthony Edwards made NBA history on Saturday, becoming the youngest player—and just the fifth ever—to hit 300 three-pointers in a single season during the Minnesota Timberwolves ' 114-109 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
The milestone prompted New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum to retract a past criticism of Edwards' shooting ability. Years ago, McCollum had said Anthony Edwards "better work on that jumper," but after the 23-year-old’s latest feat, CJ McCollum gave him his flowers.
"He did more than just learn how to shoot too," CJ McCollum wrote in a quote repost, responding to his old comments. "Respect 🫡 to a 🐈. He really got a jumper now too. Well done 🐜 man."
While Anthony Edwards remains most dangerous attacking the rim—a skill that also creates open looks for teammates—his improved three-point shooting has taken his game to another level. The ability to stretch the floor allows him to score efficiently while preserving energy for late-game situations.
Since entering the league, Anthony Edwards has been on a rapid rise, leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals at just 22 years old. His explosive athleticism and confidence have drawn comparisons to Michael Jordan, though matching His Airness’ legacy would require multiple championships and MVPs.
Even if Anthony Edwards doesn’t reach GOAT status, Minnesota has a bonafide superstar who could eventually bring the franchise its first-ever title—if the front office continues building the right pieces around him.
Shaquille O’Neal blasts modern NBA stars in explosive rant
Shaquille O’Neal unleashed a fiery critique of today’s NBA players on The Big Podcast, questioning their greatness and even demanding the "arrest" of Ben Simmons for his massive contract ($203 million) amid underwhelming play. Shaq, unapologetically blunt, dismissed claims of jealousy, stating, "If you ain’t great and I’m great, how can I hate on you?"
While he acknowledged stars like Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Damian Lillard, he tore into Simmons: "$250 million for that bullsh—? Robbing people!" (Note: Simmons earned $203M). The rant gained traction for its LSU-on-LSU jab (both attended LSU), reigniting the old-school vs. new-school debate. Shaq champions physical dominance and titles, while modern fans value skill and three-point shooting.

Whether excessive or entertaining, Shaq’s unfiltered takes keep the NBA world hooked—proving his mic-drop moments remain must-watch.
