Oladipo, the second year man out of Indiana and the second player taken out of the 2013 draft has shown glimpses of stardom and has also some great athleticism with his ridiculous dunks like this

Antetokounmpo, mainly know has the “Greek Freak” has grown from 6’9″ since he was drafted in June 2013 to now 6’10” 1/4. This year he has had many spectacular dunks and has been on the most freakish athletes I have seen in a while

Sources have also said that Zach Lavine of the Minnesota Timberwolves has also been invited but has yet to respond to the invitation. The 19 year old rookie has shown some crazy bounce this year including this.

Hopefully he accepts and will be in the contest. The Dunk Contest will be the last event on All-Star Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The actually All-Star game will be Sunday, February 15th at Madison Square Garden.
