Dr. Dunkenstein 101: Former Utah Jazz star Darrell Griffith offers dunk contest advice to Donovan Mitchell

SALT LAKE CITY — Inside the Zions Bank Basketball Center Tuesday, a private session was held between Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell and dunk coach Chuck Millan.

Mitchell has just a few more days before he’s ready to display their secret routine during the Slam Dunk contest at 6 p.m. (MT) Saturday at NBA All-Star Weekend.

There’s still some work to do, though.

“I haven’t perfected it yet,” Mitchell said, smiling. “I got some practice yesterday and it was pretty fun, pretty exciting. It’ll be fun. I can’t really share too much but I’m excited.
