The captains

Can the former Spartan win the Slam Dunk Contest? Fresh off a highlight reel dunk Thursday night against the Kings, Charlotte Hornets rookie Miles Bridges will reportedly be in the Slam Dunk Contest during next month's NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte.

Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports tweeted Friday that the rookie plans to compete in the contest, held in his team's home arena on Feb. 17

The NBA is moving the All Star Weekend 2017 from Charlotte, NC over a bathroom bill. Make sure you understand that the NBA keeps the Michael Jordan owned franchise in the State. Just moving the All-Star Weekend. Telling you that they will continue to take North Carolina money from season ticket holders et cetera, but they want to take a stance on this. Further, NBA and China is a great partnership. China has the WORSE human laws on the face of the earth.
