Anthony Edwards Questions Giannis Antetokounmpo's Dunk Contest Style

During the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards expressed skepticism regarding Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential participation in the Slam Dunk contest, stating that Giannis is more of an in-game dunker rather than a contest competitor. This conversation was sparked by Giannis's playful suggestion on social media about joining the dunk contest after Mac McClung won it for the third consecutive time. Edwards noted that Giannis's past dunk contest performances were underwhelming, which raises doubts about the entertainment value he could bring. Despite the buzz, Edwards remains firm on not participating in the contest himself, preferring to showcase his dunking skills during games instead. Additionally, Edwards missed the All-Star Game due to a groin injury, further limiting his exposure during the weekend. The overall excitement for the dunk contest continues, fueled by the interest of players like Ja Morant and the possibility of Giannis joining in the future.
