LOS ANGELES—The Dunk Contest is usually the make or break event of All-Star Saturday Night, and for the most part, this year’s edition delivered. With young bucks Donovan Mitchell, Victor Oladipo and the Jrs. Dennis Smith and Larry Nance making up the field, there was always potential for fireworks. We saw mostly bangers Saturday, as Donovan Mitchell ultimately took home the trophy. Let’s grade each participant from worst to first!
Victor Oladipo is a Superhero
Tough night for Oladipo. Victor couldn’t hit his first dunk, and then couldn’t get any love from the judges for the Black Panther Slam.
