Throughout his career, even back in his high school days, Plumlee has been known as a high flier. He dunked for the first time in eighth grade and, in high school, Plumlee participated in the McDonald's All-American dunk contest, finishing runner-up to Avery Bradley. Last season, as a second-year NBA player, he competed in the Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star Weekend. Plumlee didn't get out of the first round, but his performance did not come without a highlight or two.
