Steph Curry laughs with Lil Wayne after Jalen Green’s Slam Dunk loss

The NBA All-Star Weekend is an experience that connects players, fans, and celebrities. Moments such as DJ Khaled’s halftime show reinforce this. Events such as the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three Point Contest help put younger players on the map. Guys like Jalen Green participated in the Slam Dunk Contest, as it helps introduce him to a wider audience. He plays for the Houston Rockets, a team that doesn’t get much attention.

Jalen Green is definitely a rising star in the NBA, but he’s not there yet. Green, however, is trying to get there as fast as he can. The Slam Dunk Contest was a prime opportunity, but Jalen Green saw the situation backfire. Last night, the Slam Dunk Contest didn’t excite fans the way it has in years past. On Instagram, Shaq went as far as to clown the whole event. Performances like Jalen Green’s fed into the jokes.

After watching Jalen Green’s attempts, the celebrities were laughing. Lil Baby and Lil Wayne were sitting together, laughing. As Green continued competing, Steph Curry and his wife, Ayesha, were seen on the camera, also laughing. The Dunk Contest trended on Twitter, for all the wrong reasons.
