The moment Houston Rockets rookie Jalen Green walked out onto the court for his turn in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest with an NFT that had absolutely no relevance to his planned dunk, I knew Green was in trouble. I’m not ready to go knee-jerk overboard and call Green a bust like some on social media after one bad slip in an ultimately irrelevant entertainment competition, but I am willing to say that Green lacked the proper focus when he proceeded to flub his first round of dunks.
Josh Christopher just handed Jalen Green an NFT of his own dunk highlight to wear as a chain.
