Another wonky poll.
Of course he has a chance, like if no one else makes a dunk in time. But it is unlikely since he isn’t really a creative dunker more than he is a powerful dunker. |

| Better stay in the stands, Larry. I think Lonzo has a better repertoire of dunks |

| He’s a good in game dunker but I don’t think he’s create enough for the contest |

A full court lob pass from Lonzo to Nance. But, get this: Nance will be jumping over Zubac in the process... |

A 1980s windmill.. probably hang his arm in the rim on another. Let's just hope he makes it to the event healthy from here to then |

Is Kobe the only dunk contest winner in Lakers history?
If so, I can definitely see Larry becoming the second winner. |

I think Larry is athletic enough to pull something crazy off. Your never going to see dunk contest style dunks in a game, so I don't think that's a great indicator of how well someone would do in a dunk contest. It's in L.A., I think a little creativity and some "wow" factor would get it done for Nance  |

FYI:
Larry Nance special on
| Quote: | NBA TV ( a t ) NBATV
Larry Nance Jr. throws down some of the most ferocious dunks in the @NBA. But, it didn’t come easily.
Don't miss a new #BeyondThePaint tomorrow at 11pm ET on NBA TV! |

| barring injury he will no doubt be in it, but I doubt he does well because he is an in game over guys dunker, as people have said will be much like the Shannon Brown appearance |

Yeah, Kobe's performance was pretty blah in a relative sense. He went against a mediocre to weak field. Finley tried a cartwheel dunk to comedic effects.
I don't see Larry as a creative dunker. Shannon Brown was thought to have a chance and he was horrible when it actually came down to doing creative dunk contest style dunks rather than powerful in-game dunks.
