Foot Locker Dunk Contest participants confirmed for #HASC22
Six players have been selected to take part in the Foot Locker Dunk Contest at the 2022 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic, on Saturday.
Bryan Akanmu, Kane Daley, Marcus-Myen King-Danchie, Declan Kom, Charles Okafor and Simeon Perry will go head-to-head in the battle for the title at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.
Two EABL MVPs from the 2021-22 season get to battle it out as Myerscough’s Akanmu and Oakland’s Daley look to add another title to their resume.
There is also a pair of Sheffield College teammates going up against each other as Kom and Okafor play for bragging rights as they aim to take the crown back up north.
King-Danchie is back in the UK after a year in America at Florida Coastal prep school, while Derby representative Perry will be keen to showcase his repertoire.
Each player will get a minimum of two dunks in the first round with the two highest scorers advancing to the final. Each dunk will be scored out of 40 with an all-star panel judging the contest.
The Foot Locker Dunk Contest is due to being around 4pm on Saturday.

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
