Did Pat Connaughton just invite Christian Yelich to assist in the NBA dunk contest?

On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks will play their final game before the all-star break, and Pat Connaughton will then travel to Chicago where he’ll participate in the NBA dunk contest Saturday.

His post on Twitter suggests that he’d like a special guest to attend (and perhaps assist) in Milwaukee Brewers slugger Christian Yelich.

The tweet is a picture of a baseball, a “Let Pat Dunk” T-shirt and a note: “Christian, I have a great idea! Meet me in Chicago this weekend.”

Yelich quickly re-tweeted the proposal.

A Wisconsin multi-sport connection as part of a dunk contest spectacle? Needless to say, that would go over well in nearby Milwaukee.

Spring training workouts begin Thursday for the Brewers in Arizona, with position players expected to report by Feb. 16 … one day after the dunk contest. The first full-squad Brewers workout is scheduled for Feb. 17.
