Dennis Smith Jr. enlisted some help to wow the judges at the 2019 NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday.

After failing to convert on his first dunk attempt of the night, Smith Jr. brought out rapper J. Cole for his second-round showing. Sporting Cole's high school jersey, Smith Jr. leaped over the rapper and slammed it in on his second attempt.

Smith Jr. received a perfect score of 50 on the dunk.

Cole followed the slam by almost finishing one of his own.
