The NBA Dunk Contest will be on Saturday, February 18 and will be the final competition of the night. Through the past few years, many fans have complained that the Dunk Contest hasn't been entertaining. It will be interesting to see what this years looks like with a number of new contestants. Below we take a look at who is in the Dunk Contest this season.
Sims has started to find his role with the Knicks this season. His numbers don't jump out on the stat sheet as he is averaging 3.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 0.5 assists. However, he has played a bigger role since Mitchell Robinson went down with a broken thumb. Sims is 6-foot-9 and has crazy athleticism. He can jump higher than the majority of guys his size.
