We were waiting for the name of the last participant of the Slam Dunk Contest 2023, and in the person of Trey Murphy III the set is now complete for the contest on less most expected from Saturday.
The slender number 25 of the Pelicans therefore joins a set of flying infants for this year 2023. It is made up of Shaedon Sharperookie of the Blazers, 19 years old and already author of some rather vertiginous tap dances, Kenyon Martin Jr.22, son of Kenyon Martin, you guessed it, fortunately without the lip tattoo but with extra relaxation, and Mac MacClung, 24, illustrious unknown to the battalion for those who follow the NBA (only 2 games in the league) but who also has a dispute with Isaac Newton for so defying the laws of gravity.

But back to Trey Murphy third name, which, with its long segments, might well offer us some madness too. TMIII already has a few faces on his list and everything seems to indicate that he will add others in the coming seasons, he who is only at the dawn of his career at 22 years old. In any case, the wish of his frankness has been granted.

The cast is now known for this year 2023, hoping all the same that this cuvée restores the image of a competition which has recently offered only upheavals thanks to Zach LaVine, Derrick Jones Jr. and Aaron Gordon. So, who will succeed Obi Toppin?
