BROOKLYN, N.Y. — In three games this season, Doug McDermott has blown two chances to make SportsCenter‘s Top 10. In the Bulls’ Saturday win over the Indiana Pacers at home, he missed a poster dunk over Paul George that left a mark on his wrist from the rim.







In Monday’s 118-88 blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets, McDermott botched another wide-open dunk.







McDermott has vowed that he’s going to finish a dunk one of these days, but he’s had at least two or three highlights per year that go beyond his reputation as a three-point shooter. In the visitors’ locker room at Barclays Center on Monday night, McDermott spoke with The Athletic about his dunking ambitions, as well as his new cause: scoring an invite to the three-point contest at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans this February.
