Glenn Robinson may be a more well known player than his son, but Glenn Robinson III did something his father could never do -- win the 2017 Slam Dunk Contest. With Aaron Gordon struggling in the first round, Robinson quickly made his mark on the event with a vertically challenged dunk. Creating anticipation by bringing out two people, Robinson first had his assistants stand right next to each other, but then he upped the ante by having one go on the one’s shoulders. This proved to not be difficult for Robinson as he easily skied over the mini-human tower. Robinson struggled with his second attempt, which ended up being a dab dunk. The dunk itself was well done but his repeated miss attempts penalized him as he only got a 41.
