[Saba Sports News] Zion Williamson is open to fulfilling fan desires with a specific stipulation. Following a significant win against the Toronto Raptors, the New Orleans Pelicans standout was asked about his potential participation in the Slam Dunk Contest during the All-Star Weekend.
Williamson’s condition for competing is clear: he’d only consider it if he’s chosen as an All-Star. Despite being an electrifying dunker and at just 23 years old, Williamson has not yet showcased his skills in the Dunk Contest, even though he’s been an All-Star twice (2021 and 2023). While the Dunk Contest recently enjoyed a surge in star participation, it’s struggling to maintain fan engagement.
Given Williamson’s reputation for spectacular in-game dunks, his participation could significantly reinvigorate the event.
