It’s official: Anthony Edwards is an Olympic gold medalist. Yesterday, Team USA pulled off a nail-biter against France in the gold medal game, securing a victory in true dramatic fashion. Sure, Edwards was limited to just 10 minutes on the court, but he made every one of them count, racking up eight points and delivering an unforgettable dunk off a lob from his childhood hero, Kevin Durant.
