The 2205 NBA Slam Dunk field is set.
And Wesley Snipes was wrong...white men can jump!
The favorites this year at BetOnline.ag are two-time champion Mac McClung and Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis.
It’s not a pretty field filled with household names as evidenced by these scoring averages (McClung 0.0, Buzelis 4.9, Jackson 3.6 and Castle 11.7), but it should make for a good dunk contest.
McClung is aiming to become the second ever three-time dunk champ (Nate Robinson) and the first to contestant ever take home three consecutive titles.
These players are the only to have won back-to-back dunk contests: Michael Jordan (1987-88), Jason Richardson (2002- 03), Nate Robinson (2009-10) and Zach LaVine (2016-17).
I think if LeBron participated in the dunk contest at age 40, it would be the highest rated contest since the Jordan/Dominique battles! Oh well.
