How would we even notice if Jaylen hit a rookie wall?

Injury would be the number one red flag, I assume this is a dig at his lack of playing time though.

First of all, he'd get crushed badly. First round exit. He's not the leaper you guys think he is. The kid is raw as phuq. I hope he doesn't want to do it. It won't make him a better player and it won't boost his confidence, cause again, he'll get crushed.

I love Brown but he would have no chance. While a great athlete, he is not among the elite in the game. The guys in the dunk contest would make him look like a high schooler.

Yeah, although Jay is a top level athlete he just doesn't have the hops, hang time to hang with LaVine and AG.

He might be able to hang with power though. Sometimes these insane hangtime guys just look like aliens floating

He'd have a good shot at the trophy. His size means it's quicker to pull the trigger and he'd get a good rhythm during the allotted time limit.
Hey you! Can we come together?

I have attempted this one.....there is an injury risk so i would advise against it.


But he was the third prick in the draft!

Oh wait... *facepalm*

Eh, I think it'd be good to be around the all stars and start getting his name out there and start building friendships. We need to recruit some guys here.

I kinda wish they'd do away with the dunk contest. There's only so much you can do differently and after the whole contest, these usually only 1 dunk that's even memorable. But whatever.

What Contest was Isaiah Thomas in last year? He almost won it.

Olynyk has a good chance of getting into the 3-point Contest too.

I'd also like to see Jaylen Brown in the Young Stars Contest, along with Rozier.
Jaylen can do the Dunk Contest too. Definitely. Gerald Green is talking about coaching him for it.

It's not like you have to watch it though. I thought that fashion show was pretty funny two years ago, should have kept that for **** and giggles.

"He's not the leaper you guys think he is." I've said this about 3 months ago. Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks this.

I'd like him to be in the rookie games more than the slam dunk. Play without brad's leash.
