A Duke basketball standout was wronged by a panel of judges during the Slam Dunk Contest.

It was a big day for the Duke basketball program as the Blue Devils took centerstage at the NBA All-Star festivities but in the biggest event the judges did wrong by rookie Cassius Stanley.

The NBA held its Slam Dunk Contest at halftime of the All-Star Game and the first dunk of the night was performed by Stanley and just a ho-hum between the legs dunk where he was eye-level with the rim.
