The Boston Celtics are pushing for their lottery pick rookie Jaylen Brown to enter this year's slam dunk contest.
Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green are the most eager to see the rookie to enter the contest in New Orleans.
Thomas has already started his twitter campaign hoping for a selection after overhearing the conversation.
Green has entered multiple dunk contests, and while he did impress the fans, he has never won the title.
While Brown's max vertical leap is unknown due to missing the combines, he is an athletic guard still developing.
He has shown flashes of his leaping ability but is not known as one of the NBA's best dunkers.
Ironically Brown wears the same number as Celtics guard Dee Brown, who is a former dunk contest winner.
