NBA slam dunk contest
Panini America reveals its first three VIP Party guests
The Panini America VIP Party will include some NBA flair from the past and the present.
Saturday's exclusive event will have at least three NBA stars involved as the company has revealed its first three stars appearing at the party who will meet and greet fans.
Cleveland Cavaliers first-round pick Collin Sexton, Orlando Magic pick Mo Bamba and former Boston Celtics star and NBA Slam Dunk Contest champ Dee Brown will be on hand at the event set for Saturday night in Cleveland.
Aaron Gordon may not have won dunk contest, but his cards might be winner from NBA All-Star weekend
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon may not have won the NBA's slam dunk contest during the All-Star weekend, but he's arguably the biggest winner on cardboard from the midseason showcase.
The story lines heading into this one revolved around the big names -- the biggest name and story being the final All-Star appearance for Kobe Bryant -- and the game's MVP was a big and well-collected name, too, in Russell Westbrook. Even the dunk contest winner, Zach LaVine, was already well-known with his status as last year's winner.
Gordon is the one who was introduced to the world -- or at least the world of casual basketball fans and collectors.
