Anfernee Simons wins Slam Dunk Contest

Anfernee Simons became the first player in Blazers history to win the Slam Dunk Contest.
“A dream came true” Simons said after the victory.
Simons said his goal for the last dunk was to kiss the rim, but he also wanted to make sure he didn’t hit his head.
“In practice, I never actually kissed the rim, but I was like, ‘I gotta commit to it,'” Simons said. “I tried to put a mouthpiece in last-minute, but it didn’t fit in my mouth. I just scratched, and I’m just going to emphasize the smooch face so people know I’m next to the rim and trying to kiss it.”
