斯蒂芬·卡斯尔是37年来第一位参加扣篮大赛的马刺球员
扣篮大赛
每年全明星周末的重头戏当属扣篮大赛。这也是全明星赛最古老的传统项目之一。早在1976年，马刺队还在ABA联盟时，乔治·格文(George Gervin)和拉里·凯农(Larry Kenon)就参加过这项赛事。那时扣篮大赛是整个赛季都会进行的活动，并非全明星周末独有。
直到1984年，扣篮大赛才成为一项独立的年度赛事。在那第一年，埃德加·琼斯(Edgar Jones)代表马刺队参赛，但他在第一轮就被淘汰了。
1987年，约翰尼·道金斯(Johnny Dawkins)代表马刺队参赛，但同样未能晋级第一轮。
1988年，格雷格“凯迪拉克”·安德森(Greg “Cadillac” Anderson)参加了扣篮大赛。然而，银黑军团依旧未能突破第一轮。
“凯迪拉克”是本赛季之前，最后一位代表马刺队参加扣篮大赛的球员。本赛季，银黑军团将再次由斯蒂芬·卡斯尔代表参赛。
卡斯尔的关注度正在上升。他不仅参加扣篮大赛，还将参加新秀挑战赛。Jeje Gomez写道，这可能会帮助他进入全明星正赛。除了全明星周末之外，卡斯尔的名字也出现在年度最佳新秀的讨论之中。
好好欣赏这些精彩瞬间吧，各位Pounders。

Open Thread: Spurs All-Star History of the Slam Dunk Contest
Stephon Castle is the first Spur to participate in 37 years
Slam Dunk Contest
The highlight of the Saturday night’s All-Star Weekend festivities each year goes to the Slam Dunk Contest. This is also one of the oldest traditions to be paired with the All-Star Game. Going all the way back to 1976 when the Spurs were in the ABA, both George Gervin and Larry Kenon competed in the event. It became an on-going event throughout the season that was not unique to the All-Star Weekend.
It wasn’t until 1984 that the Slam Dunk Contest became a singular annual event. And in that first year, the Spurs had Edgar Jones representing them. He fell in the first round.
In 1987, the Spurs had Johnny Dawkins participate, but did not advance past the first round.
In 1988, Greg “Cadillac” Anderson headed to the contest. Once again, the Silver & Black could not get out of the first round.
Cadillac was the last member of the Spurs until this season when the Silver & Black will once again be represented, this time by Stephon Castle.
Castle’s stock has been on the rise. Not only is he in the Slam Dunk Contest, but he’s participating with the Rising Star tournament, which Jeje Gomez wrote could get him into the All-Star Game. Outside of the All-Star Break, Castle’s name is being floated for Rookie of the Year.
Enjoy the highlights, Pounders.
