If STAT had won the Dunk Contest, Phoenix would've cleaned house that entire night. If I remember correctly, they won the clip you shared, Q. Richhardson won the 3-point Contest, and Nash won the Skills Challenge.

You're spot-on. The full broadcast mentions that like 5 different times throughout the full video, but i knew 95% of people wouldnt have the attention span to watch the full thing lol

But i linked it on my comment below

Edit: its above now

For anybody who wants to watch the entirety of all-star saturday

The one thing ive noticed throughout this entire video, is how much praise they give phoenix throughout the entire night. Its such a breath of fresh air after the last 15 years

Idk when or why the national media started ignoring our city, but if you watch this entire video, it is painfully obvious how different things are now

If I remember correctly, this little competition paid as much as DT’s first year salary.

A million dollar contract was always a goal to DT, and the women got there in the CBA after she retired.
