On March 3, the NBA All-Star player list was released.
The most spectacular dunk contest players are star-studded, with three players: Anfini Simmons, Cassius Stanley and ObiToping. They are all second- and first-year rookies.
In today's TNT live broadcast, Dwayne Wade, a judge of last year's dunk contest, gave advice to the judges of this year's dunk contest: "You can comment as much as you want, and in this day and age, it seems that everyone can get a trophy, such as someone dunking a basket, and everyone says, Oh, that's 10 points!" That's not a 10, so don't give a 10 again, that's my advice. ”
At last year's All-Star Game, Wade served as a judge on the Dunk Contest. In the final round of the decider, Wade gave Gordon a dunk of Celtics center Tucker Farr with 9 points, allowing him to lose directly to the Heat's Jones Jr., once again missing the "dunk king". The 9-point incident "continued to spark discussions on social media, with many people complaining about Gordon and questioning Wade's ratings.
On April 27, Gordon published his new rap work "9 out of 10" on his Instagram (10 points only give 9 points), publicly expressing his displeasure with Wade giving him a "9 points"! Gordon then said he would not participate in the NBA All-Star Weekend dunk contest again.
In response to Wade's suggestion, Blazers center Yusuf Nurkic grabbed Wade's hot terrier of giving Gordon a 9-pointer and tweeted: "For this legend's suggestion, I give you nine points." ”
The name of "9 cents wei" seems to never be taken off.
In addition, the list of other individual events also has some highlights. Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Devon Booker and Zach Lavin compete in the three-point contest.
Luka Doncic, Chris Paul, Nikola Vucevic, Domintus Sabonis, Julius Randall and Robert Covington compete in the Skills Challenge. After the reform of the skill competition, the annual attention to the duel between the big and the small is also the highlight of this event.
