His got the Hops no doubt about that ... The questions is - Does he have flare, style? Then again the way it is these days having hops is all you need ? :(

Nice! I'm sure Lonzo will dish some passes for him.

I guess this means he feels comfortable enough that he won't be traded... :laugh:

Do you get points for literally shattering after your first dunk?

I hope he shatters the fiber glass board. Don't care anymore whether he wins or lose as long as he shatter that board.

I bet he pays homage to his father or Kobe. Maybe does a Kobe under the legs dunk while spinning. That would bring Staples to its feet.

Hard for a big man to win the dunk contest.
Maybe if he's able to show Aaron Gordon-type creativity.

The main reason Nance's dunks are so spectacular is because they often involve destroying a defender... In fact that's the only reason most dunks from bigs look impressive...

Nance needs to get Embiid to actually try to block his dunks during the contest if he wants to win.

Yeah, I’m just hoping he doesn’t embarrass himself. All I picture is some boring dunks or failed attempts.

I just hope he doesn't pick up a season ending injury.

The dunk contest is never going to live up to last season's Lavine vs Gordon duel. That was the most fun since 2000.

I think Nance will do well though, he has big hands so he can control the ball on the catch to get creative.

He should have someone lob it to him and purposely miss the basket by 5 feet and have him go up and dunk it anyway. It makes his dunks look incredible when he does that.
