We welcome you back to the 8th annual NBA Development League All Star Game presented

by Kumho Tire. We're at NBA All Star Jam Session at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

We're courtside. Rick Kamla, Dennis Scott and Brent Barry at the half.

It's The Futures over the Prospects, 72 63. The Futures have never trailed in this game.

Let's talk first half MVP and look ahead to maybe the MVP of this game. Arinze Onuaku

has 14 points to lead all scorers, Devin Ebanks has 12, Daniels has 12. Who would you say

is in the lead for MVP? DENNIS SCOTT: Well, Onuaku comes to mind because

of the big steal at half court. Like to see big guys out there. Got the most points in

rebounding right now is my front runner, the big fella.

BRENT BARRY: Onuaku and Justin Hamilton, the two big guys. What is going on with the NBA

and D League All Star Games. Every big guy is winning the awards. We've got DeAndre Drummond

last night dominating. These two guys putting on a show. Before we talk about Manny Harris

and Jackson, these guys are going to be awesome. The big guys are taking over. Quit Bullying

the little guys, big guys. RICK KAMLA: They're taking over.

DENNIS SCOTT: Hamilton shooting threes. You would think the guards would take over this

game because most All Star Games you get out and show your athleticism, but the big fellas

said don't forget about us tonight. RICK KAMLA: By the way, Andre is still trying

to put the trophy back together. Congratulations, Andre for the 30 25 performance in the Rising

Stars Challenge Friday night. Coming up, it is NBA Development League Dream Factory presented

by Boost Mobile, and yes, the Dunk Contest. Here are the rules. Two dunks in the first

round. The judges give you 6 to 10 points. Two players with the highest Composite scores

move on to round two. At that point the player with the highest combined score in round two

will be crowned the Boost Mobile NBA Development League Slam Dunk Contest champion.

Tony Mitchell won it last year. He's back to defend his title, and he can really get

off the floor. BRENT BARRY: He did put on a show for us last

year, 3 D. Had a Virginia rite of dunks, some off the bounce, some off the throw. The one

that came from the stands. We'll see if he does something creative to repeat, because

you don't want to repeat yourself, but you want to take that trophy back home, if you

can. DENNIS SCOTT: As a champion, how long does

it take you. BRENT BARRY: That's very nice of you, 3 D.

DENNIS SCOTT: How long does it take to get loose though because these guys weren't playing.

BRENT BARRY: Not too long, not too long. RICK KAMLA: Bones loves the Slam Dunk Contest

questions. Let's get it on to Barry Tom for the player introduction.

>> The NBA D League slam dunk judges. Winner of the NBA D League Dream Factory sweepstakes

presented by Boost Mobile, Jessica Colon. Four time NBA All Star and 12 year veteran

of the Nets, Kings and Celtics, Otis birdsong. He's the father of the 2014 All Star starter

and an NBA D League All Star, one of the greatest shooters in Charlotte Hornets history, Dell

Curry. Former player in the NBA D League, getting ready to call up, led the San Antonio

Spurs to last year's NBA Finals, No. 4, Danny Green. He's a 6'9" NBA All Star, and basketball

Hall of Famer, get off your tracks for the A train, Artis Gilmore. Ladies and gentlemen,

your 2014 Boost Mobile NBA D League Slam Dunk Contestants. From the Delaware 87ers, Thanasis

Antetokounmpo, representing the BayHawks, Darren White, the Reno Big Horns very own

Ra'Shad James, and defending Boost Mobile NBA D League dunk champion of the Ft. Wayne

Mad Ants, Tony Mitchell. Let's hear it for our dunkers.

Our dunk order for the first two rounds has been determined alphabetically, that means

Thanasis will be first to go. RICK KAMLA: Coming up, the Boost Mobile Slam

Dunk Contest. I got a kick out of Thanasis Antetokounmpo, with Greek Freak Nation.

DENNIS SCOTT: Talking about not being able to see this man play that much. See him jump

to the moon and see what he has. It will be fun to see.

RICK KAMLA: It's cool. Lot of the players in the All Star Game have come out of the

locker room. They want to watch the Dunk Contest. There is Thanasis. I love it. They call Giannis,

his brother, the alphabet. Let's see if we can come up with a nickname for Thanasis after

what we see him do here this afternoon. He is the older brother of Giannis and he will

be draft eligible in 2014. BRENT BARRY: Not being quite warmed up, it

shouldn't take you long, but saw something very similar to that last night in the Rising

Stars game with Tim Hardaway Jr. who threw down the reverse, rocking the ball from right

to left. The judges not super thrilled with the first one, Rick.

RICK KAMLA: No, and on the left side there, you have Jessica Colon who won a fan contest

to get involved as a judge. DENNIS SCOTT: Little Rock, little over the

head. Not bad for a warm up. RICK KAMLA: Each player gets 60 seconds to

show what they can do. Good to see Artis Gilmore, the Hall of Famer over there, one of the judges,

the A train. DENNIS SCOTT: Do not shake his hand. He still

has the claw. This is Darren White of the Erie BayHawks. First season in the NBA Development

League. BRENT BARRY: This is where the new format

tonight will kick in. We'll not be worried about guys missing and having to repeat a

dunk. They'll just keep coming at you. DENNIS SCOTT: Think the time messes with you,

Brent, that you have to get this in in the timeframe?

BRENT BARRY: Yeah, because you're getting nervous you can't get the one down that you

want to. But it doesn't affect the score. Okay, you try it several times and you take

a point or two away. DENNIS SCOTT: Oh, my goodness.

BRENT BARRY: He got it! He got it! DENNIS SCOTT: Whoa, whoa! Definitely better

than the first dunk by Antetokounmpo and Artis Gilmore gives him a 10. A couple of 9s and

two 8s. 8s. How do you give that an 8, Bones? RICK KAMLA: You're calling me a tough job.

You better go talk to Otis bird song. He came in like a wrecking ball.

BRENT BARRY: That is a Miley Cyrus record. DENNIS SCOTT: Yes, sir. I knew right where

you were going. BRENT BARRY: I didn't think her name was going

to come up. I'm a little disappointed. DENNIS SCOTT: That is nice.

RICK KAMLA: Bones, how would you describe that dunk right there?

BRENT BARRY: I would say it was flat out awesome. Then I think he was trying to do it, 3 D,

with the toss. With the toss to get up, catch it at its apex and bring it around. But that

was nice. Nice. Where's this coming from, 3 D?

DENNIS SCOTT: Out of the stands like last year.

BRENT BARRY: Deep, deep, way up in the corner. DENNIS SCOTT: I have my video camera on, Tony.

BRENT BARRY: On the sidelines behind the players bench. That's a good 40 feet away from the

court. Is that Ron Howard up there? DENNIS SCOTT: That's Ron Howard.

RICK KAMLA: All right, Ron Howard is Tony Mitchell's teammate on the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants,

they've started the clock already. I think they're going to reset the clock. The P A

guy on the floor is just calling the shots out here. Doing a great job of staying in

charge, and here it is. Ron Howard. That's a good toss. Oh! Very close. I tell you what,

the toss from Ron Howard down was better than the toss that went back up from Tony Mitchell.

Put a little too much spin on that one. DENNIS SCOTT: That is the toughest part of

this one. He's got another ball. So we've rotated a second ball in. Down to 39 seconds

oh! He almost got it. BRENT BARRY: Now this pressure is on Ron Howard.

It takes it away from Tony, and Ron Howard has to make the pass.

RICK KAMLA: Tony did this last year to help him win this contest. Do you like that he's

doing it again? BRENT BARRY: I do like, Rick, that he brought

it out again, because this is a whole different fan group that might not have seen last year's

D League All Star Game. But Ron Howard, good on you, mate. Great pass from up there. But

pressure on. So three 9s and two 10s. But was that more impressive than the dunk we

saw by Darren White? DENNIS SCOTT: No, it wasn't. I think sometimes
