Andre Drummond in the Slam Dunk Contest was 3 years comin'

If the reports are true, and there is no reason to believe they are not, Andre Drummond will be participating in the NBA Slam Dunk competition during his first All-Star weekend. If you're at least a three-year reader of DBB, you know this is something we've campaigned for in the past. It started with this tweet from Tas Melas during Dre's rookie season:

Glad Andre Drummond put people on notice. 18 and 18, and this: http://t.co/69vk4dT6 --- Hope Lawrence Frank will #LetDreDunk if he's picked.

Unfortunately, the video in that YouTube link is no longer available, but imagine a really awesome dunk.

If you don't want to take our word for it, take former Pistons player Jonas Jerebko's word for it:

#LetDreDunk RT @JonasJerebko: "@FOXSportsDet: Who is best dunker in practice?" @DRE_DRUMMOND_ no question. Put him in the dunk contest!!

And if you don't want to take his word for it because he's a dirty Celt now, watch the below video and tell me Dre couldn't hang in a dunk contest:

I, for one, can't wait to see how well #DreWillDunk.
