The Fun Factor

In all of this, it’s important not to forget that the All-Star weekend is in its entirety an exhibition. It’s about watching a collection of the league’s most talented players have fun, before the business end of the season really kicks off.

That makes Giannis Antetokounmpo the ideal poster boy for All-Star weekend festivities. Everything about Giannis screams out fun, from his play on the court to his words off of it. This is why Giannis must retain his infectious personality in whatever dunks he decides to show at the Dunk Contest.

Considering that, Antetokounmpo should take a leaf out of Gerald Green’s book.

Back in 2008, Green took the opportunity to blow out a candle on a cupcake while he was up at the rim.

How can Giannis utilize this into his own memorable Dunk contest moment?

Well, seen as Antetokounmpo is known for his love of smoothies, how about he slams down with one hand and grabs a smoothie off the rim with the other?

Or for that matter, why not dunk it while going up drinking a smoothie?
