The NBA Slam Dunk Contest is on life support. The G-League’s Mac McClung has won the contest for a second year in a row. Despite Boston’s Jaylen Brown attempting to bring stars back to the iconic event, his dunks were relatively unimpressive.
Now, New Orleans Pelicans center and well-known dunker Zion Williamson has mentioned he will participate in the dunk contest if he also makes an All-Star Game.
“If I’m in the All-Star Game, I’ll do the dunk contest,” he said. “But if I’m not, I’m not doing it.”
It got us thinking: who are some of the All-Stars we wish we got to see in the dunk contest? Some of the league’s best athletes have never taken a shot at participating in the All-Star Weekend staple. Here is a shortlist of all the would-be first-timers we would love to see throw it down with style.
