Justin Jefferson and Anthony Edwards unveil recreation of iconic Moss, Garnett photo | News, scores, highlights, stats & rumors

Justin Jefferson and Anthony Edwards pay their respects to their elders in Minnesota.

Minnesota sports stars recreated the 2000 photo of Randy Moss and Kevin Garnett so fans could quickly see how the photo came together.

The original photo showed Moss holding a basketball in Garnett’s Minnesota Timberwolves jersey and Garnett holding a soccer ball in Moss’s Minnesota Vikings jersey. It debuted in an issue of Sports Illustrated Children and captured that era of sports in Minnesota.

Both players reached their respective Hall of Fames and played the majority of their careers in Minnesota. Neither could bring a championship to their franchise, something Edwards and Jefferson want to change.

Jefferson has been with the Vikings since the 2020 season and has 5,899 receiving yards and 30 touchdowns for the franchise. Edwards made his Timberwolves debut in the 2020-21 season and is averaging 22.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

Both Edwards and Jefferson will need more time to reach the iconic status of Garnett and Moss, but early results suggest they are on their way. More importantly, both players have significant term left on their contracts, so a longer stay in Minnesota is to be expected.
