Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards follows LeBron, KD into NBA history books image

Anthony Edwards is keeping some historic company.

The Minnesota Timberwolves' superstar accomplished something Thursday night that's only ever been done younger by LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

The feat: 10,000 career points.

Obviously, the King was helped by coming out of high school and being the youngest No. 1 overall pick ever.

Ant and KD were both one-and-done college players.

Edwards admires Durant, so he's likely pleased to join a list like this one with one of his idols, a guy he finally got to play with on Team USA at the Paris Olympics.

Edwards, for what it's worth, is 24 years and 156 days old. He won't turn 25 until August.

He has averaged more than 24 points per game in his career, and he's pouring in more than 29 points per game this season.

He had a relatively tame 25 points on Thursday night in a solid win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Now, Edwards will just keep on rising the charts.
