TRIO SET FOR #HASC23 DUNK CONTEST

Declan Kom, Lane Campbell and Josiah Philip have been confirmed as the participants for the Dunk Contest at the 2023 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic, on Sunday.

The trio will go head-to-head to compete for the coveted title as they look to join the long list of illustrious winners dating back to Myles Hesson winning the inaugural crown in 2014.

Charles Okafor was the 2022 champion after edging Sheffield teammate Kom in the final with the bouncy guard missing out on top spot by just two points.

Kom returns for another crack at the title and goes up against two debutants in Campbell and Philip.

Each participant will have two scoring dunks in the first round with the top two going through to the final, where they will have two more dunks to add to a cumulative score to determine the winner.

The Dunk Contest will be live streamed with the contest scheduled to take place around 3:30pm:

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.
