On March 7, Beijing time, according to the Associated Press, "Potato" Sbert Webber recalled winning the All-Star Dunk Contest 35 years ago, when he got some small advice from Atlanta Hawks teammate Doug Rivers, and Rivers, who is now the philadelphia 76ers coach, had already asserted at that time: Your life will be changed forever.
"He wasn't joking," Weber said, "and everywhere I went, people talked about that dunk contest, even today... There were only 20,000 spectators in the stadium, but almost 100,000 people in my hometown of Dallas told me he was there. ”
The shortest dunk contest champion in NBA history is set to return to The All-Star tomorrow as a judge for the 2021 Dunk Contest. This year's entries are Blazers' Anfenni Simmons, Pacers' Cassius Stanley and Knicks' Obie Topping. None of these three players have yet to make a name for themselves in the NBA, and perhaps their fate may change after tomorrow.
"Hopefully they'll be able to put on a great show for everyone and leave everyone with a future story," Weber admitted, "And if people don't believe you, then go on the field and prove that you're the best dunkman in the NBA." ”
"Even if they repeat the previous moves, the final score still depends on their creativity," Weber continued, "and I prefer the explosive power of the dunk." I'm looking forward to how they will perform. ”
