I've recently turned 40, and after hitting my original goal of dunking again at age 38, I've updated my targets to (hopefully) keep progressing on my dunk journey. Blog posts will highlight my progress towards my Dunking, Vertical Jump, and Weight goals, and I'll also add lots of other content around dunking, vertical jump training, and all things basketball.

Toronto's Andrew Wiggins to Enter Dunk Contest?
Dunk News of the Day:
http://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba/andrew-wiggins-in-dunk-contest-apparently-according-to-pops/
From seeing some of Wiggins' high school and NCAA dunks, I wouldn't consider him the favourite... even Zach Lavine (Wiggins' Timberwolves teammate) has a more impressive set of dunk clips. Also, he's pretty low-key, and the NBA dunk contest requires a bit more flair to get the fans on your side.
That being said, Wiggins is the current front-runner for Rookie of the Year, and this can only help his profile.
*** NOTE: since this article, 4 other contestants have been confirmed for the dunk contest, and Wiggins is out. Zach Lavine (Wiggins' Wolves teammate) is my pick -- check out his clips on YouTube etc. to see why!
