Simons Slam Dunk Contest

What’s the story behind not kissing the rim? Is it a COVID-19 thing? Going in for the kiss, remembering about COVID-19, then blowing the kiss instead?

my guess is his girlfriend would not like him being toothless

Well, he wasn't close enough to kiss it, but probably didn't want to risk getting hurt

Mozel tov, Ant!

What happened to that franchise they always seem to have stars and atleast be consistent. They’ve had Ken Griffey, Randy Johnson, Arod, Ichiro, Garcia, these are some big names.

How’d they fall off so hard?

Pitching

He should have put a mask on first!

If Simons played for the Lakers people would be hating all over this dunk contest.

The dunk contest has bored me for years. The players have spoiled us. Some of the dunks we see in games used to thrill the hell out of us and now we see it all the time. I mean some of Derrick Jone's dunks this year have been amazing and we barely acknowledge them. Why would get excited about a dunk when no one is guarding them.

I am happy for Ant though.

I think he got as close as he dared to kissing it with his lips. Now, if he would have Frenched it with his tongue...wait, that's only a move Batum and Gobert could make.

It makes me wonder if he has ever actually kissed the rim and he chickened out.
