Glenn Robinson may have lost his spot in the starting lineup for the Indiana Pacers, but he earned one in the Slam Dunk Contest at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans next month.
The news was broke by The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
For fans who don’t watch many Pacers games, they might ask what a guy averaging 7.7 points and 5.3 rebounds as starter is doing at All-Star weekend, but all they need to do is look at the tape to see why Robinson deserves a spot.
He has only played limited minutes in his three NBA seasons, but going back to college, Robinson never struggled to elevate.
