If Cole brings the crown to Orlando in his first try after what AG went through …

:lol:

Let’s hope the Cole gets it. Yeah, AG should be a 3 time dunk champ. Stupid Dwayne Wade….

Did not expect that. Hes got some hops but he misses a lot.

His hops are crazy. I think he has a solid chance depending on who else is participating.

At least he'll be an entertaining candidate.

That at least makes it fun for Magic fans like me. Will be watching.

Also when should we know the Rising Stars participates? Cole? Franz? Suggs?

Franz for sure will be on that Rookie game...

Also, no one here posted that the league fined Cole 25k? lol

Gonna be rooting hard for Cole to bring home that dunk trophy.

I don’t see a chance for him to win it but still nice to be there. Kind of unexpected

If the television crew has any sense, they'll get a microphone on him right after his dunks, so at least we'll get some great Cole meme content. It's been a while.

Now THIS is the platform I’m excited to see Cole put on a show. I’m surprised how pumped I am for this, I think he’ll be a lot of fun to watch in that scenario.

He might be a dark horse candidate, because hes short, has hops and has a lot of personality. If he can think of anything creative, he might win.

He has hops, but he doesn't have dunk contest champion hops.

Cole is very nice leaper when he has time and space to jump off two feet. Should be fun. Any idea who are other candidates? Any hope for Ja Morant?

KillMonger · Post #17 » by **KillMonger** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 6:37 am

he'll be limited because i don't think he can palm the ball but it should be fun....just don't do this

Exactly. Those dunks are not winning an NBA dunk contest unless all of the other contestants lay an egg.

Most of his dunk attempts I've seen this year were unsuccessful and clanked off the rim.

What is he trying to prove...he can jump and dunk?

basketballRob · Post #20 » by **basketballRob** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 1:18 pm

Cole can palm the ball which is a good advantage for a small guy. Suggs who is a little bigger and probably has better hops, uses two hands.
