Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards moved past one of Kobe Bryant’s marks on January 9, 2026, putting his name ahead of the late Los Angeles Lakers star in the NBA record book.
Despite the achievement, Edwards told reporters after the game that the accomplishment carried an unexpected downside. “I’m kind of sick,” he said, adding that he had one regret tied to overtaking Bryant but did not elaborate further.
The young All-Star has often cited Bryant as one of his basketball idols and routinely studies the Hall of Famer’s game footage. Even while celebrating his new place in league history, Edwards emphasized the continued influence Bryant has on his approach to basketball.
Details of the specific milestone were not immediately disclosed, but Edwards’ latest feat underscores his rapid rise in the NBA and his growing list of achievements before his 25th birthday.
