NBA Slam Dunk Contest preview
Mac McClung left the arena speechless in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest a year ago, stepping onto the court as an unknown and sauntering off as the star of All-Star Weekend. The Osceola Magic point guard defends his crown at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, and we're expecting great things.
The G League man will take on the Celtics' Jaylen Brown, the Heat's Jaime Jaquez Jr. and the Knicks' Jacob Toppin in the two-round contest, which tends to produce the lion's share of All-Star Weekend's top highlights.
It's one thing cooking up a show-stopping dunk but pulling it off is another thing entirely, especially with dozens of NBA greats in situ. When a dunk comes off, however, there's nothing quite like it, and the subsequent cutaways to the players, coaches and fans in attendance are priceless.
The five judges, who include Slam Dunk Contest champions Dominique Wilkins and Fred Jones, will score every dunk from 40 to 50, and the average will determine the winner. If the scores are even after the second round, we'll go to a single-dunk Dunk-Off.
Just be aware that the Slam Dunk Contest will follow the Skills Challenge, 3-Point Contest, and Stephen vs Sabrina 3-Point Challenge on All-Star Saturday Night.
In this guide, we explain how to watch a 2024 NBA Slam Dunk Contest live stream and tune into All-Star Weekend with the help of a VPN if you're away travelling at the moment.
