New York Knicks reserve center Jericho Sims is a man of little words.
So his teammate, Quentin Grimes, did the talking on what to expect from Sims in this year’s Slam Dunk contest.
“I’ve seen a couple of the dunks he’s gonna do already, so I feel you’re gonna be surprised on what he’s going to do [Saturday] night,” Grimes said of Sims during his Rising Stars media availability.
Sims replaced Portland rookie Shaedon Sharpe in the event, citing the need to focus on the Trail Blazers’ stretch run. But Sims had already gained traction before that when Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant clamored for his inclusion in one of the most awaited NBA All-Star Weekend sideshows.
