Malik Beasley drops 5-word reaction to Anthony Edwards' seemingly desperate effort to break Pistons star's 3-pt record

Anthony Edwards became the 3-point leader of the 2024-25 season on Sunday. The Minnesota Timberwolves went up against the Utah Jazz when Edwards took the helm. However, it seemed like Ant-Man was desperate to become the 3-point leader this season.

Prior to Sunday's game against the Jazz, Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley led the league in most 3-point shots made this season with a total of 319. Anthony Edwards was only seven threes away from breaking the record. Given that Utah was Minnesota's final opponent of the regular season, Sunday was the only opportunity for Edwards to break the record.

A video of Edwards showing enthusiasm in breaking Beasley's record went viral on social media. Ant-Man was caught on camera, pleading with his coach to sub him back in the game. By the end of the third quarter, Anthony had already made five 3-point shots. He only needed two more to eclipse the record.

Malik Beasley saw the trending video on X, formerly Twitter, and couldn't help but react to Anthony Edwards' enthusiasm.

"Damn you can have it 😂," Beasley wrote.
