In the past, the All-Star Weekend, the dunk contest must be a big highlight. However, after the Wade 9-point incident, the popularity of this event plummeted, and some powerful league dunks refused to participate in succession, making the viewing performance seriously decline.
In last year's dunk contest, Portland Trail Blazers Anfenni Simmons took the crown, and his performance was far inferior to previous editions, lack of creativity, deliberate imitation of Lavin's movements, causing fans to be quite dissatisfied.
Compared with the players, the pressure on the judges is greater, because Wade's business practices make it difficult for the league to invite professional dunks, so the glory of the dunk contest is gone.
But in the league, there are not a few players with great dunk talent. For example, Grizzlies eye Jia Morant, the rising star, has repeatedly demonstrated his unique dunk stunt.
In the face of the league's invitation and the shouts of netizens, Morant did not hesitate to refuse to participate in the dunk contest for a blunt reason and hated the Wade-style judges. BR had interviewed Morant about whether he would see him in a dunk contest, and he quipped, "Give me $1 million and I'll go." Until that day came, I was just a spectator. ”
Although he didn't want to show his face in the dunk contest, Morant never hid his love for dunks. Just before the warm-up session against the Nets, he showed a 360-degree back-to-back dunk, and BR released this excellent slow-motion version, like poetry.
After that, Morant retweeted the joke, 7 points 7 points 7 points all 7 points. Mitchell, who had participated in the dunk contest, replied, "Funny your comment." Based on this, I can't help but say to Wade, this prosperity is as you wish.
