Harrison Barnes wants to keep it simple at NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest
Posted Feb 10, 2014
Harrison Barnes has never participated in a formal dunk contest before, so he just wants to keep things simple for the NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday. Barnes said he hopes to have some fun and maybe involve teammate Stephen Curry. He’s been soliciting dunk ideas from fans on Twitter, so I asked him if maybe one idea would involve a tribute to fellow UNC product Michael Jordan?
