In the NBA, the championship is everyone's dream, but when it comes to watching, it's still up to the All-Stars. At present, the league has divided the All-Star Tournament into three sections: the All-Star Rookie Tournament, the Skill, Three-Point and Dunk Contest, and the All-Star Tournament. The annual main game and dunk contest are still worth looking forward to, which is also a project that fans can directly participate in and exercise their voting rights.
When it comes to the dunk contest, it is not only relying on the players themselves to play, dunk creativity, but more importantly, a dunk. In 1984, Jordan and Wilkins' dunk duel took the fans' sensory impact to a whole new level, and the dunk contest that followed was devoid of the glory of the past, even if a Hall of Famer like Kobe Bryant won a flash in the pan. After the turn of the millennium, the appearance of Wenscat undoubtedly gave the dunk a sense of beauty, and the stretched posture in the air and the perfect bounce height undoubtedly reinterpreted the dunk.
1984 Dunk Contest
During the period from 2000 to 2016, there were still many stars in the dunk contest, and many beautiful pictures were frozen. Howard's Superman Possession, Nate Robinson's three coronations, the White Devil Griffin leaping into the car, LaVine's emergence, the dunk contest lost suspense, and the other players were not so important.
LaVine won the dunk contest
In 2016, LaVine returned to the dunk contest stage, but this time no one would have thought that LaVine would be pulled into a protracted battle. Gordon and the magic mascot completed three times of cooperation, a leap under the crotch to change the dunk, a one-handed ball to turn 360 windmills, a leap under the legs to change hands dunk, such a dunk casually placed in that one dunk contest, the champion is undoubted.
Gordon slam dunk contest campaign
Lavin's response was even tougher, not only with a sliding back buckle, but also by taking off the free throw line to unlock a new pose. After the end of the four rounds of competition, LaVine and Gordon need to decide the winner through the overtime, both of them also use all their strength, Gordon completed the rebound side receiving big windmill back buckle, LaVine responded to the rebound and threw the crotch to change hands back buckle, helpless Gordon finally lost and Lavine free throw line jumping crotch change hands. The wonderful showdown came to an end, and to this day, the dunk duel is still talked about by fans.
Ravengorden staged the ultimate dunk
In the middle of this season, LaVine played for the Chicago Bulls, averaging 24.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, the Bulls ranked first in the East, LaVine was successfully selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star Regular Game bench; Gordon went to Denver to assist Jokic, averaging 14.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, the Nuggets are currently ranked sixth in the West, and Gordon was not selected as an All-Star, including the dunk contest.
LaVine suffered a knee injury
Lavine's selection may also be uncertain, as in early February he would have made a bone rubbing sound on his left knee and feeling unwell due to injury. On February 16, it was revealed that LaVine would leave for Los Angeles to meet experts, perhaps this was a signal that LaVine was about to return to the game, but Lavin suddenly issued a "prayer" on Twitter, making the fans realize that the injury was not as simple as imagined.
Subsequently, the Bulls' management indicated that LaVine would miss the team's pre-All-Star game and concentrate on treatment. The expert Lavin met was the attending doctor who was previously responsible for his knee injury, and he wanted to clarify whether the injury at this time would be related to the previous ACL, at present, the extent to which Lavin's injury is complicated is unknown, but the approaching All-Star Game, Lavin in such a state may not be able to play.
