Anfernee Simons is your 2021 NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner, with the Portland Trail Blazers guard blowing a kiss to the rim on his way to the title.
In case you missed Sunday’s competition — which took place at halftime of the 2021 All-Star Game instead of the night before — we’ve put together all of the slams we got to see from Simons, New York Knicks rookie Obi Toppin and fellow first-year pro Cassius Stanley.
You’ll see some other pretty awesome dunks, including one from Stanley that has everyone wondering why it only got a 44 out of a possible 50 points from the judges.
There was the first one, in which he took the ball off a mini hoop and put it in the real one, which was creative (and it showed off his serious hops).
He followed that up with a 360 while wearing a Raptors Tracy McGrady jersey, and won it by nearly kissing the rim, which is kind of amazing.
It was a running attempt from near the free throw line with an under the legs slam:
