The Hoop Doctors today asked Andrew Wiggins about whether or not he would be dropping dimes for Zach Lavine tonight in the NBA Dunk Contest, as Lavine looks to defend his title. Wiggins almost spilled the beans, but his smile says it all as Lavine (and possibly with the help of Wiggins) has something big [...]
