    McClung was fun last year, but next to Toppin (yikes), Brown (why?) and Jaquez (who?) this must be the one where there’s one known for crazy dunks and you know he’s gonna win.

    I watched some Brown dunk highlights and there are some great in-game dunks, but they are all the same tomahawk style nothing crazy you'd see in a contest. McClung is back.

    The worst dunk contests is when you have participants with either no creativity or coming unprepared and struggling to pull off their dunks within their first 2-3 tries. I don't think that crazy athleticism is required to have a good contest, as long as the guys put in the effort into the preparation and come up with interesting dunks.

    Fair. Jalen Green was easily the most embarrassing player I've seen in this decade at least with athleticism, but no skill to get it done.

    They should have invited Jackie Chan to do it. Dude has crazy athleticism and creativity.

    Chris Tucker and JChan would be the best duo.

    Classic case of NOT KNOWING what he's talking about.

    They have to be scoring less for missed dunks.

    Apparently not after scoring Jaylen's 2nd dunk lol. He's had such shitty dunks that are getting way over scored.

    This crew of dunkers idk... Jaylen Brown needs to go home.

    McClung needs some legit competition.

    Wait Brown made the final... Wuuuut
