NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest Prediction
Philadelphia 76ers guard and NBA G League Rookie of the Year Mac McClung is the absolute favorite to win the Slam Dunk Contest at the home of the Utah Jazz.
Speaking ahead of All-Star weekend, McClung told The Athletic’s Shams Charania that he has a surprise in store for the fans.
“There are at least two dunks that I know have never been made in any contest.
“It’s a lot of fun. Just hanging out with my friends and planning the dunks, us talking on the phone and them coming here and us practicing. But it’s a lot more stress than you think.”
Our prediction: Mac McClung will win the Slam Dunk @ -170 contest
