Shaq is back! McClung put him in a Gate City jersey, had him hold the ball over his head and slammed it. Nice.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:53 AM GMT+1

That’s a statement! Leaped over Donovan Mitchell and dunked with the left hand. Judges say 49.2.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:52 AM GMT+1

Hmm… Brown put a sparkly glove on his left hand. Looks like he’s addressing social media buzz that he can’t go left.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:51 AM GMT+1

McClung raised the bar for his opener, and it scored a 48.8. He dunked over two people, hard to beat.

Dunkin’ ain’t easyAre we no longer impressed by anything? Or do we really need the superstars to do this?

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:48 AM GMT+1

Mac McClung vs Jaylen Brown in the final, and Brown opens up by missing his first attempt again. He bounced back with a what looked like a normal windmill. It scored a 48.6.

The fans have spokenAt least there’s one NBA player in the dunk final. And props to Jaylen Brown for being a star who actually decided to do it … even though the crowd didn’t like the Celtics parquet LED on the floor.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:40 AM GMT+1

Jaylen’s back! With Kai Cenat and Jayson Tatum out as props, he missed his first attempt. He made the second, taking a lob from Tatum and leaping over a seated Cenat. The crowd didn’t like it, and he scored a 47.6. Sounds like the crowd has some issues with the inconsistent judging.

Tough judgingGary Payton told @yahoosports he was not gonna reward dunks that had multiple attempts. Betting he’s the holdout for Mac.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:38 AM GMT+1

McClung is out for that perfect score. Don’t even know how to describe what he just did but it was impressive and he scored a 49.4.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:36 AM GMT+1

Toppin’s second dunk was a killer! But he got penalized for not making his first attempt, scoring a 47.2.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:35 AM GMT+1

This was Jaylen Brown’s first dunk, best score so far.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:35 AM GMT+1

Jaquez is up again. He followed up with a nice 360, scoring a 46.8.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:32 AM GMT+1

Mac McClung’s first dunk might not have gone smoothly on the first attempt, but it seemed like it deserved a 50. He got a 48.0.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:27 AM GMT+1

Game of propsThese guys always look surprised when they’re brought out as human props. First Shaq, now Obi Toppin.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:27 AM GMT+1

Steph vs. Sabrina a hitThe Steph vs Sabrina contest was the first time tonight you could feel the enormity of this place. It’s hard for something to be intimate, communal and bigger than life all at the same time

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:27 AM GMT+1

Jacob Toppin followed suit, going for a double-pump and leaping over his brother, Obi. Judges gave him a 47.8.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:26 AM GMT+1

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:24 AM GMT+1

Oh! He opened it up with a one-armed windmill over THE DIESEL. Let’s see what the judges think.

Sun, February 18, 2024 at 4:22 AM GMT+1

Jaquez is up first and he has Shaq on the court. Intriguing!
