No player under 6-3 has better odds of walking away with the dunk title than Bledsoe. It might be asking too much for a Chinese Spud Webb. The dunk contest has a long tradition of diminutive contestants who dominate the competition. You might remember the record he set with the Nets was 27.5 points per game. In the 2000-01 season, Carter averaged 27.6 points per game. Gao Shang, who tried and failed seven times to complete a boring prop-less dunk, received 30 points anyway and took third. It wasn’t just that one Slam Dunk Contest, either. (Happy Chinese New Year!) He would get it on the second attempt, and receive 48 out of a possible 50 points. Second place, went to Sen Tiangui for trying (and failing) to dunk over an oversized novelty inflatable rice ball, performed after serving the judges some rice balls. Except he sort of jumped around the front of it, even though it was only about 18 inches high at that end. Taking a cue from Blake Griffin skying over a Kia, Zhai dunked over a tiny little go-kart shaped like a sneaker. Along the way, Wilkins won two competitions (19) and has the highest cumulative point total (1,651.8) in Slam Dunk Contest history 489.8 points above No. Zhai’s second dunk was more successful, and just as unimpressive. He eventually put it in on his third attempt, the shoe hovering as a mute witness to his failure. The shoe stuck, but the ball didn’t go in. They were VIPs in northern California, but their schedules were packed tight. The contest was sponsored by shoe company Li-Ning, and for his first dunk, Zhai hoped to slam the ball while sticking a sneaker to the backboard. For Carter and McGrady, before the dunk contest, there was the small matter of arriving in Oakland for All-Star Weekend. ![]() ![]() The winner was Zhai Yi, a third-string guard for Shanghai, and even the champion’s dunks weren’t pretty. At this year’s dunk contest, a chinese player attempted to jump over 5 guys, but fall over them and lands on his face. ![]() However, there has been some epic failures in the Chinese version of the NBA slam dunk contest. The contestants of the slam dunk contest is only for Chinese players. The CBA has the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest. You must give kudos to the CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) for trying to mimic the success of the NBA All-Star game festivities by hosting their own CBA All-Star game and skills competition and for introducing cheerleaders to the Chinese sports fans.
