It wasn't too long ago that Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards revealed that he had “learned a new skill” during the offseason. He was pertaining to how he'd become an ace in the sport of bowling, while also claiming that he scores 200 or above during games.

The Timberwolves youngster seems to have taken offense at the naysayers, so he decided to send some proof of his bowling prowess. Edwards recently took to his Instagram Stories to show that he had just scored a 243 in a recent bowling game:

It doesn't look like he's faking it (why would he?) so it does appear that Anthony Edwards is a legitimately excellent bowler. We apologize for ever doubting you, Ant.
