Will Zach Lavine Compete in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest This Year?
The NBA Slam Dunk Contest is an iconic event that focuses on dunks. However, over the years, the event has lost some of its luster, with stars like LeBron James and Vince Carter not competing as frequently as they once did. The good news is that there are still players who make dunks, and they deserve a chance to showcase their talents in the NBA Dunk Contest.

For years, Zach Lavine has been known for his high flying dunks that are impossible to block and incredibly impressive. He’s won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest twice, and the fans are ready for more of what he can do.
Lavine was a top tier prospect when he was drafted 13th overall in 2014. He grew up with the nickname “The Dunk King,” which is a pretty fitting nickname considering his insane athleticism and leaping ability.
He spent one year at UCLA and has since moved to the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He hasn’t slowed down his jump shot in the league, averaging 7.6 points and 3.2 assists per game this season.
This season, he’s also been able to build on his business side of the game, which is a welcome development for any player who’s looking to grow their brand. He recently starred in a Mountain Dew commercial and was seen in a variety of sponsored events around Cleveland during All-Star Weekend.
When asked if he was going to compete in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest this year, Lavine said it was unlikely. But he still wants to have fun and show off his dunk skills.
The biggest reason for this is that he wants to continue growing as a player. He doesn’t want to hone his skills to the point where it becomes more of a chore than a challenge.
As a result, he hasn’t spent much time preparing for the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. In fact, he hasn’t even been in a dunk contest since 2016.
But the dunks he’s made in recent weeks have helped convince Lavine that he can win a third straight title and become a household name.
There are a lot of incredible dunkers in the league who don’t have the attention or resources that players like LaVine, LeBron James and Vince Carter do. And they’re all a lot of fun to watch, especially on Instagram, where their dunks can often be seen by a wider audience than ever before.
If the NBA Dunk Contest was put back into the hands of players who spend their time experimenting with dunks and other creative ways to pull them off, the event would be a much more interesting one. It wouldn’t be for everyone, but it could be a great place to start for these players who are just getting started in the world of professional basketball.
While some dunks are just a matter of jumping high enough, others require the perfect combination of strength and skill. This is why it’s so important to have a contest with some level of difficulty. The competition will keep the best dunkers on their toes and give the rest of the field a chance to see what they’re made of. It will also help to get more dunks into the spotlight, which is something the NBA Slam Dunk Contest has failed to do in recent years.
