We suspected it but we now know the field for the next Slam Dunk Contest. Because after the invitations accepted by Stephon Castle, Matas Buzelis And Andre Jackson Jr., ESPN now teaches us that Mac McClung logically agreed to defend his (double) champion title during the dunk competition!
A field without a superstar therefore, since the title holder is only a G-League player, who played four small matches in the Great League. As for his opponents, they are two rookies and a sophomore…
A clear sign of the gradual decline in importance of the Slam Dunk Contest, which will be held on February 15 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, particularly among the stars of the league. It must be said that Jaylen Brown's performance last year must not have convinced many people to take up the challenge.
Mac McClung will in any case try to become the first to win three consecutive titles in the history of the dunk contest, Nate Robinson having for his part won the event three times, but not in a row.
