Shaedon Sharpe commits to NBA Slam Dunk Contest

John Calipari used to tell Kentucky fans to get to their seats inside Rupp Arena early to get a look at five-star sensation Shaedon Sharpe put on a show during pregame warmups.

He never played a second for the Wildcats, instead opting to sit out the year and declare for the 2022 NBA Draft where he was ultimately selected No. 7 overall by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Like what you saw in the layup lines, at least? Sharpe is running it back in a more competitive format, committing to the 2023 Slam Dunk Contest during NBA All-Star Weekend.
