The NBA dunk contest is often one of the best parts of All-Star Weekend. For fans, they can see the top athletes accomplish some of the most difficult moves rarely seen in the game. For the players, they can show their talents and get more fans' attention.
Over the past few years, many stars have participated in dunk games, and they all seem to be happy. Now, as The All-Star Weekend approaches, some fans have asked Grizzlies star Morant whether he is willing to go all out for the All-Star Game. Morant gave a negative answer.
In fact, Morant had received an invitation to the All-Star Dunk Contest long ago. However, Morant's attitude is very clear, he will not participate in the dunk contest. At the beginning of the season, in an interview with Taylor Rooks, an open-air grandstand reporter, Morant gave his reasons. "Judges. You know, the last two years [of the judges] made me think, 'Oh no, I can't be there.' ’”
As a famous dunk in the NBA, Morant does not participate in the dunk contest, which is indeed a pity. This season, Morant averaged 25 points, 6.6 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game and shot 49 percent from the field. So far this season, the Grizzlies have a 26-14 record, ranking 4th in the West. In the latest issue of the MVP list, Morant also reached the top 10. Clearly, Morant has a much bigger goal.
Morant has proven that he is one of the best guards in basketball, and that's clear. He's not going to play in the dunk contest, which is a foregone conclusion.
