If he gets extra votes to make the All Star game next year because of this announcement, then there is upside.

I disagree. Yeah, he might not win, but oh well.
I think the upside is the view of him would change from the everyday fan, considering the dunk contest has become an absolute joke and fans really want to see stars back competing in the contest. Zion could be one of the rare ones that isn't a complete pussy about it and worrying about it ruining his image.

I don't really agree with the take also. Or more to the point, while it may be correct that there's no upside, there's no downside either. If Zion doesn't win the dunk contest, quite literally nothing will change. It'll be fine.
So if a guy as popular wants to do it, I'm all for it and glad he's bucking that trend if those dudes being "too cool" to do a dunk contest.

Hey Lebron. Shut up. You ruined the dunk contest with your "i don't want to get embarressed" attitude, starting a trend of top players not participating in the dunk contest.
NO one wants to see Jacob fricking Toppin and Mac Mclung in the dunk contest.
I want to see Zion, Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, De'Aron Fox, Donovan Mitchell, Paolo, WammerJammer, etc. I don't want to watch a G-League dunk contest.

What about the upside of the fact that now the fans and the media and the NBA itself really wants him to make the All-Star game?? It was a brilliant piece of marketing by Zion and his team (intentional or not).

That's not true.
Zion at an All Star event winning the dunk contest would be a HUGE redefinition of him as a player and a star.

Disagree...the first star to do this in forever.
In turn it builds up his profile a bit and he may actually start getting some calls from the refs
