Même si Manu Ginobili et Austin Rivers ne voulaient pas que la NBA départage Zach LaVine et Aaron Gordon, il fallait bien un vainqueur dans le Slam Dunk Contest 2016. Un concours exceptionnel qui a laissé sans voix les stars d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, de Paul Pierce à Magic Johnson, en passant par Blake Griffin et DeMar DeRozan.
Voici un florilège des réactions.
