Former Warrior wants Jonathan Kuminga to enter the dunk contest
Juan Toscano-Anderson wants to see Jonathan Kuminga commit to the 2025 dunk contest. The former Golden State Warriors wing believes his former team’s emerging star could make a major splash in the struggling event, and would draw a fresh set of eyes from fans around the world.
Kuminga has flashed his athleticism at multiple points this season. He’s rapidly become Steve Kerr‘s best rim threat and has added a new dimension to Golden State’s offensive approach. As such, Toscano shared his thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter, anointing him as the best athlete he “had ever been around.”
I do wanna see JK in the dunk contest tho. So yall can see what I’m talkin about. Best athlete I EVER been around regardless of sport

Kuminga, 21, would be an ideal addition to the dunk contest next season. He would be following in the footsteps of Jaylen Brown, who stepped into the event this year before ultimately losing to Mac McClung. Kuminga is arguably a more gifted athlete than Brown, which could give him a solid advantage.
Nevertheless, Warriors fans would likely prefer the young star continue to focus on developing his game and continuing to establish himself as a key member of the franchise’s future. Still, if an opportunity to compete and potentially win the dunk contest arises, it would be fun to see him competing against some of the best dunkers in the world.
