He punctuated the high-flying competition with a windmill dunk that left him hanging from the rim by his right elbow. For the first time, the event was broadcast live on NBA TV during halftime of the 2012 NBA D-League All-Star game presented by 26 Seconds.
The NBA D-League Haier Shooting Stars team of Blakely, Jones and Smith won the third-annual Haier Shooting Stars competition over the team of Hill, McLeod and Ubiles completing the six-step shooting competition in 60 seconds, just eight seconds faster than the runners up.
