Orlando Magic guard Jase Richardson took part in the on Saturday night, and he left fans in Southern California stunned in a scary incident on the court.
Richardson began his attempt from the corner on the right side of the basket. He had a friend with the basketball on the right wing. The friend ran and bounced the ball off the side of the backboard with Richardson trailing behind him.
Richardson tried to make a ridiculous spinning dunk but couldnt get the ball around the side of the backboard. He got caught and fell onto his back on the court.
“Im good,” he said afterward, via the Orlando Sentinel. “I tried to go do a little 360 off the side of the glass, (but) my arm got caught on the side of the backboard.”
He was able to complete the second dunk attempt after the fall. He earned a total score of 88.8 and it wasnt good enough to get him into the finals. He and center Jaxson Hayes didnt make it to the next round.
The Miami Heats Keshad Johnson won the competition over rookie Carter Bryant. Johnson started his dunk behind the scorers table and took off from the free throw line. He threw down a one-handed windmill dunk.
Bryant had a between-the-legs dunk on his first attempt, which got him perfect scores, but his second dunk took too many tries to complete, which ultimately cost him the win.
“All the kids out there, keep dreaming, anything can happen,” Johnson said. “I just came out here and showed people.”
