First Victor Wembanyama is named the to the NBA All-Star starting five, the first French player in history to garner the honors.
Then the three young guards — Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, and David Jones Garcia — were named to the NBA Rising Star competition.
And now Spurs rookie Carter Bryant has signed on to the Slam Dunk Contest.
Yes, that Carter Bryant. The same
one who was relentlessly teased for botching a couple of dunks.
Recently, when Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson shaved their heads, Bryant was offered $20,000 to join in. When he refused, De’Aaron Fox decided he’d get a haircut if he blew three more dunks.
All kidding aside, Bryant has hops and has gotten notice by someone associated with the Slam Dunk Contest.
So far only Bryant and Jaxson Hayes are the only players invited. Three-time winner and reigning Slam Dunk Champ Mac McClurg will not participate in next month’s event after he was waived by the Indiana Pacers last November.
Check back for updates as contestants are confirmed.
The Slam Dunk Contest takes place on Valentine’s Day as part of All-Star Weekend.
