Ok, you gotta admit. DeMar DeRozan sort of got robbed in the dunk contest. He had some amazing dunks, and without props, but never got through the second round.
He had some solid dunks, but was only one point away from getting a 95 and entering the second round. But Blake Griffin got ahead of him, and if it weren't for his props, JaVale McGee would've won the Dunk Contest.
DeRozan told the Associated Press that he is never about props and he will never use them.
Here's what he told AP:
Asked Tuesday if he thinks he was robbed when he didn't reach the final of the competition, DeRozan replied, "I think so." Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers won by leaping over a car to edge Washington's JaVale McGee in the last round.
"I'm a dunker. Dunk contests, you go out there and dunk. I'm not into all the props and everything," DeRozan said at shootaround before Tuesday's game against Charlotte. "I try to come out with a creative dunk and do it and go from there. My fans liked it and you can see the reaction from a lot of people afterward.
"If there's a dunk contest next year I'll do it. But not no prop dunk contest."There you have it. No prop dunk contest.
