On February 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. The NBA officially announced the All-Star bench list, and Warriors star Green was successfully selected. As a result, as many as 3 members of the Warriors (Curry, Wiggins, Green) were selected as All-Stars this year, becoming the biggest winners.
It is worth mentioning that Wiggins has been selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career this year. As the 2014 NBA leader, his selection is gratifying. At the same time, since Wiggins entered the NBA, whether he can participate in the dunk contest has become a hot topic among fans. Wiggins is known to be incredibly physically talented, and he often slams great dunks in games. Even Slam Dunk Champion LaVine has said, "Wiggins can beat me in the Dunk Contest." ”
However, for Wiggins' participation in the dunk contest, Warriors star Green gave a negative answer. Green said he had encouraged Wiggins, but was rejected. Green said: "Wiggins is a guy with amazing bouncing ability, but he doesn't want to go to the dunk contest, and I've talked to him about it, and it has some accusatory tones. He was an old man and he said to me, 'Oh, no, I'm not feeling well, I'm not fit for a dunk contest.' ’”
Green continued, "I said to him, 'Come on, brother, I saw you jump up and your head went to the basket, please go to the dunk contest!' But I know very well that Wiggins is definitely not going to the dunk contest. ”
It has to be said that for fans, it is a pity not to see Wiggins participate in the dunk contest. So far this season, Wiggins has averaged 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 48.7% from the field and 41.6% from three-point range!
