If you didn't know Derrick Jones Jr. before the Slam Dunk Contest, you do now.

The Phoenix Suns forward caught a pass off the side of the backboard from teammate Devin Booker, then put the ball between his legs for a windmill jam on the first attempt for a perfect 50.

He capped it off with a tribute to Vince Carter, by signaling that his competition was finished. This dunk propelled him to the finals.
