I don’t care if you’re a no name NBA player or a G-League guy like McClung.
Just show me awesome shit, make your dunks on the first attempt, and be innovative.
It doesn’t matter to me if that’s coming via a superstar or not.
Honestly while Jaylen Brown participated last year, I spent the whole time being nervous about his landings.
“, and then as a result come the takes that the Dunk Contest is dead.
Those guys are both fun as hell and certainly could pull off some cool shit.
You don’t have to be a superstar to be an elite Dunk Contest participant.
Nobody cares about your stature in the league as long as you pull off great dunks with flawless execution.
Again, I don’t need big names, I just need big dunks.
I will say this though.
That’s like 95% of the reason I want to see him participate.
Can he recreate the dunk we saw from Hamidou Diallo back in 2019 when he did this over Shaq?
Will we see Buzelis rock an MJ jersey and try and recreate his FT line dunk?
Those days are over.
So who else could make sense?
Will anyone ever get us back to the glory days that were 2016?
But I don’t need 2016, I just need it to not be a complete snooze fest.
That’s the bar.
