Pacers' Glenn Robinson III wins Slam Dunk Contest
Indiana Pacers forward Glenn Robinson III won the Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night.
Robinson defeated Phoenix Suns' rookie Derrick Jones Jr in the finals of a contest filled with missed dunks and uninspiring moves. Robinson's best dunk was a two-hand reverse slam over the heads of teammate Paul George, the Pacers mascot, and a team dancer. The third-year wing will likely start the second half of the season on the bench if the Pacers can make a deal for a veteran swingman at the deadline.
Robinson has averaged 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 27 starts this season.
