Excited for the NBA dunk contest tomorrow night? Be sure to check out rookie sensation, and former USC Trojan, Demar DeRozan take flight against the rest of the competition. The high flying aerialist from Compton, will have to dunk his way into the competition tonight against the Clippers, Eric Gordon. The "Dunk-In" will take place tonight during halftime of the rookie challenge. The winner will advance to dunk against Shannon Brown of the Lakers, Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats, and the two-time dunk contest winner, Nate Robinson of the Knicks tomorrow evening.
DeRozan electrified Trojan fans last season at the Galen Center and has continued to do so as a member of the Toronto Raptors. DeRozan has started every game this season for Toronto and is averaging more than eight points per game in nearly twenty-one minutes of action on the floor per contest. Look for DeRozan to galvanize the crowd in front of judges Lebron James, and recording artist, Drake. All-Star weekend kicks off tonight at 4 PM PST with the celebrity game, with DeRozan in the "Dunk-In" around 7 PM PST.
