00:01Suns Nation, we have to talk about the kid from Tucson, who showed out in the Rising Stars game
00:06last night, even though he is a rookie for the San Antonio Spurs now, he just had a massive night,
00:11representing our conference at the NBA All-Star event on Friday, Bryant was actually a late
00:16addition to the Rising Stars competition, he wasn't on the original roster, but he got the
00:21call to step in for Memphis Grizzlies rookie Cedric Coward, due to an injury, and did he ever
00:26make the most of the opportunity, he helped lead his team, Team Vince, to a championship title,
00:31in the semi-final game, Team Vince took down Team TMAC, coached by Tracy McGrady, with a final score
00:38of 41-36, in just 5 minutes of action during that win, Bryant put up 4 points and added a
00:44block,
00:44then, in the championship game, it was Team Vince against Team Mello, coached by Carmelo Anthony,
00:50it was an absolute nail-biter, ending 25-24, coming off the bench again, Bryant scored 5 points,
00:58grabbed 1 rebound, and recorded 1 steal, in his 5 minutes on the court, if you are keeping track
01:04at home, that means the kid was absolutely perfect from the floor, making all 4 of his
01:09shot attempts across both contests, the MVP of the event went to Vijay Edgecombe of the 76ers,
01:15who scored 23 points total, and hit the game-winning free throws in the final, but the excitement isn't
01:21over for Bryant, he is set to take flight tonight in the slam dunk contest, and he won't be alone,
01:26he will be competing alongside another former Wildcat forward Keshaw Johnson, so, with 2 former
01:32Wildcats in the dunk contest tonight, who are you rooting for? Do you think Carter Bryant can bring
01:37home another trophy for Arizona, or is this Keshaw Johnson's night to shine?
