Rudy Fernandez, a member of the Portland Trailblazers who was born in Spain, was selected by fans to participate in the NBAs all-star weekends dunk contest. The other three contestants picked were by the NBA. He will face stiff competition in the contest from those players, all with previous experience in the event but he has something up his sleeve.
Sources inside the Blazers’ practice facility said Fernandez has at least three dunks that he hopes will impress the judges and, more importantly, the fans.
Those same sources said the rookie guard apparently has a name for one of his dunks: “El Conquistador,” which is expected to include a soccer move.
Sounds interesting, can’t wait to see it!
