Antetokounmpo, Oladipo, and Plumlee to participate in NBA slam dunk contest
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Oladipo, and Mason Plumlee will be participating in the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk contest,a league source told Yahoo Sports.
The dunk contest will be the final event of All-Star Saturday night on February 14th at the Barclays Center. Although it is unlikely that any member of the Brooklyn Nets (17-24) will be participating in the All-star game on February 15th at Madison Square Garden, it is nice to see Plumlee represent the team in the Slam Dunk competition.
Mason Plumlee was the runner-up in the McDonald’s High School All-American game dunk contest and will look to make a statement at this year’s event.
From the archive. Dated 21 January 2015. Notes like this one were the day-to-day of the old site: a signing, an injury, a line out of a press conference, posted as it came in. The length is part of the record, so it stays.
It sits on NBA, which holds 9 pieces in all. The desk is the right place to read around a note this short: it brings the days either side of it within reach, and the longer pieces on the same subject alongside.
It is one of 7 pieces the desk filed across 2014-15. The season pages in the archive put them back in order, which is the order they were written to be read in.
Kept deliberately. When the site was re-set every address was carried over intact, including the ones behind two-line filings, because a link that breaks costs more than a page that is short.
