Truth is, I wanted Giannis Antetokounmpo to win the dunk contest because he is my favorite player in the league and is probably going to be an All-Star in one or two years. Giannis probably was the worst dunker out of all of them, but he is still really good compared to the other players in the league. Giannis tried to do a high-lob dunk but failed in his first turn, where he got a 30. But his second one was a better dunk, with help from his brother, Thanasis, he completed a swing-down, reverse dunk which was pretty cool. This is my portrayal of it.
Mason Plumlee was a little better than our beloved Greek Freak. He jumped over his brother Miles Plumlee for his second dunk, which was a little better than the first dunk. He didn't fully jump over him, he needed a lot of help from miles, pushing him up more to get over the tall guy. It was pretty sick, but his home crowd didn't help him too much.
Victor Oladipo came in as my pick to win it, I've been following him since he was in Indiana, where he threw down an amazing 360-dunk, which he has done in the NBA before. I also knew he was a good singer so I wasn't as surprised as other when Vic came out singing about New York in a fedora, he was already a Hoosier singer in college. He had a specatacular dunk that no one expected, I personally think it was the great dunk, but Zach LaVine had more good dunks. I don't know if I can draw this on a computer because it was insanely elaborate,
but the video is here. Let me try to draw this.
Zach LaVine was incredible. He took off a warm-up jersey to reveal a "Space Jam" Jordan jersey, which was already really cool. He then threw the ball up and measured the hoop, then he took care of business with
a super high between the legs dunk. His head even touched the rim. The crowd went crazy, NBA stars like Russell Westbrook, James Harden jumped out of their seats, the greatest dunker of all time, Dr.J, Julius Erving was totally stunned. The coolest player to ever live, Walt 'Clyde' Frazier was totally impressed and covered his mouth in amazement. He got a perfect score. But Zach was not going to finish with that great dunk, he had more n his arsenal. Zach LaVine is only 19 by the way. Would he manage to get the crowd on their feet again? He did when he threw down a behind-the-back dunk. The dunk was not as high as his first dunk, but he managed to put it behind his back and ascend up to the hoop one-handed. He was so calm while doing this too, he could've kept going higher if he wanted to as pointed out by Kenny Smith. The last two dunks were weaker than his first but Zach still managed to earn the trophy. It was a great performance.
