Reggie Jackson participated in the skills challenge on All-Star Weekend, losing while being partnered with Goran Dragic, but he is interested in a possible return next season in the slam dunk contest.

Jackson expressed interest this week in participating in the event.

“I wouldn't rule it out,” Jackson said. “I was told that I was mentioned as possibly an alternate (this year). I'm happy I didn't get picked. I don't want to be necessarily rewarded maybe for being shorter and dunking. I actually want to have some good tricks up my sleeve if I do anything.”

John Wall won the dunk contest on Saturday.
