Rockets' Jalen Green gets roasted online for dunk contest performance

NBA Twitter is not always kind, but it is, without fail, hilarious. Unfortunately for Jalen Green, he found himself in the middle of the social media crosshairs Saturday night when he missed dunk after dunk at All-Star Weekend in Cleveland.

The Rockets rookie, who didn't make it out of the first round in the four-player field, spent nearly five minutes on his first dunk, because it took him nine runs at the rim before he finally got the perfect pass from teammate Josh Christopher and sent home a windmill dunk.

It took so long, NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar decided to call it a night in the middle of Green's attempts.
