In the 2002 NBA Slam dunk Contest, Jason Richardson stole the show with his combination of athleticism, grace and creativity. His high-flying heroics fed the hungry hearts of longsuffering Golden State Warriors fans during an era when the team was a perennial laughingstock bereft of national TV games and exposure.
J-Rich won his dunk contest in both 2002 and 2003, and was one of the best dunkers in the game at the time. He has since played for several teams, but was a staple of the Warriors for seven seasons.
His dunks were not only fun to watch, they also made him one of the most valuable players on his teams. He was a big, hard-hitting rebounder and defender who could make teams pay for not accounting for him or letting him get to the basket.
He was also a great passer, scoring the most points in Warriors history by averaging a career-high 23.2 points per game. He is also a philanthropist, having donated a significant amount of money to various charities throughout his career.
For this year’s competition, Toscano-Anderson is attempting to become the first player of Mexican descent to win the dunk contest. That is a big deal to his mother, Patricia Toscano-Anderson, who immigrated from Mexico to Oakland and now resides in Cleveland with her son.
She contacted Richardson in advance of the contest and gave him her blessing to participate, even though she was not able to travel with him. She was proud of her son and looked forward to watching him compete.
In the competition, he had to throw down his first dunk in the last round and it was a baseline between-the-legs dunk that impressed everyone. He then proceeded to dunk on the other three finalists and won with his second dunk.
Toscano-Anderson is a talented, energetic player that is known for his incredible leaps. He is also a skilled dunker in games, and has been a staple of the Warriors this season.
He has been averaging a double-double so far this season, and has been a key contributor to the team’s success. He also has some experience in the dunk contest, having won a dunk contest in Mexico this past summer.
The dunk contest is a huge part of the NBA All-Star Weekend, and if you’re not familiar with it, you can watch it online for free. The contest is a highlight of the weekend and is the perfect opportunity to see some of the hottest young players in the NBA hang with each other.
There are a few legends in the dunk contest, and there are some players that aren’t all that well known. For example, Aaron Gordon is a fan favorite and has been in the competition twice, but he has never won the title.
This is a shame because he is an incredible talent and has potential to be the next Vince Carter or Jason Richardson. He has a big wingspan and a good vertical leap, and his dunks have the power to change a game.
