Jordan was named to his first All-Star team of career this year and will get a chance to show off his athleticism in the dunk contest.
For the Clippers their usual All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin did make the team as they have missed significant time due to numerous injuries. The Orlando Magic’s Aaron Gordon is considered to be the heavy favorite for the competition.
Jordan did say that if he ever made an All-Star team he would do the dunk contest and it looks like he will keep his word.
