The NBA All-Star dunk contest was definitely going downhill but Zach LaVine brought back the excitement last year with his incredible dunks. He’s coming back this year to defend his title against Will Barton, Aaron Gordon and Andre Drummond.
Minnesota Timberwolves head coach, president and part owner Flip Saunders will be sidelined for the 2015-2016 NBA season due to complications in his recovery from cancer.
Zach LaVine dominated the NBA All-Star Dunk Contest this year so what happened when he casually showed up as a surprise contestant for the Seattle Pro-Am dunk contest? Well… he killed it!
Zach LaVine made himself a household name after reviving the dunk contest with his exciting and athletic dunks, putting the crowd in a frenzy. Well, he showed everyone basketball’s aren’t the only thing he can put through a net as he took touchdown passes and dunked those too!
For the first time in a while, NBA fans can say All Star Saturday night is back! After a immensely deep field in the three point contest didn’t disappoint us, we had to wonder would we get another crappy dunk contest to cap the night? It started off shaky with the first two dunkers, but then Victor Oladipo and Zach Lavine saved the night. Oladipo set it off with a dope 540 degree dunk that brought the crowd to their feet and rightly so! But then Zach Lavine shut down all hope of anyone else winning besides himself with some of the best dunks in YEARS!!
The line-up for the 2015 All-Star dunk contest has been revealed & they’re said to be some “high flyers”! Check out the deets after the jump…
