What a disaster of a dunk contest. They punished Jalen Green out of the gate for missing several attempts … only to be left with a couple of role players in the Finals who couldn’t make any of their attempts. – 10:57 PM

Jalen Green eliminated in the first round of the Dunk Contest. He should’ve had Josh Christopher set him up with a transition lob – 10:46 PM

Jalen Green and Cole Anthony eliminated. Juan Toscano-Anderson and Obi Toppin advance. Too many misses on the first attempt. – 10:45 PM

Jalen Green eliminated in the first round. The choice for his first dunk and the time it took to complete it cost him. The dunk alone should have gotten a higher score. – 10:44 PM

The crowd just wasn’t going to give it up for Jalen Green, no matter what he did. No way he threw down a 360, between-the-legs & got crickets. You know how hard that was? – 10:39 PM

Jalen Green just had an amazing dunk but those misses in the first round zapped him of the braggodocio he needed to sell it. – 10:38 PM

Nice bounce-back 45 for Jalen Green with his second dunk. That one was nice. – 10:37 PM

Jalen Green, who took about 15 minutes to complete a dunk, got six points less than Obi Toppin? I’m confused. – 10:35 PM

#Rockets rookie Jalen Green with the dunk after several attempts.
Only scored 38, but he did something far more impressive earlier today.
Saw him watching #NBAAllStar practice from afar.
He wants to be there one day.

Jalen Green scores just a 38 with his first dunk, taking a pass from Josh Christopher and throwing down a windmill jam. It took numerous failed attempts before finally getting one, which no doubt hurt his score. – 10:31 PM

Both Cole Anthony and Jalen Green have consulted the master of the dunk – Zach LaVine! Let’s see if one of his students wins. – 10:07 PM

They’ll get around to the dunk contest eventually. In the meantime, Jalen Green and Cole Anthony were pretty spectacular at the Rising Stars practice yesterday. The real dunk contest practice was last night as the Rising Stars games. – 9:58 PM
