Feb 19, 2022

During the NBA All-Star break, every true sports fan gets a case of dunk-contest fever. That goes for professional athletes, as well. - For evidence, look no further than Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and defensive end Maxx Crosby. - Though they were provoked a bit by Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, each player talked a little dunk-contest trash as the NBA prepared for its All-Star Saturday night, which is highlighted by the official NBA Slam Dunk Contest. - Here’s what started it: Akers posted classic footage of Raiders Hall of Fame wide receiver Tim Brown throwing it down in 1989 when his NFL career was in full bloom. - - With the NBA Slam Dunk Contest tonight, here’s a throwback to Raider great Tim Brown (@81TimBrown) showing off his hops in the 1989 Foot Locker Slam Fest. Need to bring it back with a @derekcarrqb v. @CrosbyMaxx showdown. #raidernation pic.twitter.com/Z7jIjbfXXs - — Mick Akers (@mickakers) February 19, 2022 - - - Carr and Crosby were each tagged in the post, and they didn’t disappoint with their responses, starting with Crosby. - - DC Is My Guy…. But He Doesn’t Want Those Problems @derekcarrqb
