Magic guard Cole Anthony has been waiting for a particular opportunity for a very long time. Via the Orlando Sentinel:
Cole Anthony hasn’t forgotten his first dunk.
He was in the seventh grade — either 12 or 13 years old — when he threw down a left-handed slam for his first dunk. From there Anthony, who’s known to not lack confidence, proceeded to go for more challenging attempts.
“Immediately after that, I was trying to windmill,” he said. “From there, I was just trying to do more and more dunks.”
Anthony will have the opportunity to show off his dunking ambition and creativity in the NBA’s Dunk Contest on Feb. 19 in Cleveland as part of All-Star Weekend.
He described the opportunity as “a life-long dream of mine since before I could dunk.”
