Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis has officially signed up to compete in the Slam Dunk Contest at the NBA All-Star Weekend, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania via Twitter.
This makes Buzelis the first Bulls player to participate in the event since Tyrus Thomas did so back in 2007.
He will become the fifth player in Bulls history to join the contest, following in the footsteps of franchise legends Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Orlando Woolridge, and Tyrus Thomas, according to Chris Kwiecinski of Fox23Chicago.com.
