For just the second time in the last 15 years, the Golden State Warriors had one of their players competing in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. It was Oakland’s own Juan Toscano-Anderson who was participating in NBA All-Star Weekend’s signature event. While he finished short of hoisting the trophy, Toscano-Anderson more than held his own amidst some of the league’s most exciting dunkers.
On his first attempt of the night, Toscano-Anderson took an ABA ball, got an autograph from Dr. J, and pulled Andrew Wiggins off the sidelines. Then, he casually stood at the top of the key, showed off his Warriors jersey themed with the colors of the Mexican Flag (his shoes had the same color pattern too, by the way), jogged towards the basket, hurdled his teammate, and completed a one-handed windmill.
