NEW ORLEANS – His leaping ability may have contributed toward the Clippers calling themselves “Lob City.” But that was not enough for DeAndre Jordan, who failed to advance out of the first round of the NBA Dunk Contest.
Despite finishing behind Indiana shooting guard Glenn Robinson III and Phoenix forward Derrick Jones Jr., Jordan described the event as “fun” and said he “had a really good time.”
That’s partly because Jordan represented his name well in multiple ways during his first dunk attempt.
He lived up both to his “DJ” nickname and to his dunking abilities by jumping over DJ Khaled and his turntables before throwing down a dunk to receive a total score of 41.
