Many across the country were introduced to Glenn Robinson III on Saturday night.
Coming into the Slam Dunk Contest, Robinson may have been the least talked about participant. Aaron Gordon was the defending champion who put on one heck of a show during last year’s event. Derrick Jones Jr. was considered the favorite to knock off Gordon and DeAndre Jordan is a household name. However, it was Robinson who impressed the judges enough to take home the trophy.
Here are the dunks Robinson pulled out of his bag of tricks.
