I’ve always been someone who’s held out hope when it came to the Dunk Contest.

I don’t need big name players to participate, I just need big time dunks.

Sure it’d be cool to see the biggest names participate, but I’m realistic.

I know those days are over, so at the very least just show me some cool shit.

Pull off your dunk on the first try and be innovative.

That’s all I really ask when it comes to the Dunk Contest these days.

I’m not expecting Zach LaVine vs Aaron Gordon of 2016, but you have to give me something.

This year, things got off to a disastrous start.

Both Matas Buzelis and Andre Jackson Jr could not stop missing their dunks.

We’re talking about arguably theworstDunk Contest we’ve ever had and that’s saying something.

You simply cannot miss all of your attempts, that’s Day 1 stuff.

So once again, it was up to Mac McClung to save the Dunk Contest.

Some have an issue with him participating, but I’m not sure why.

He’s a more than worthy Dunk Champion.

The dude not only does creative shit, he pulls it off clean on the first attempt.

No offense to Blake Griffin here, but this was far more impressive to me.

An easy 50 and frankly one of the craziest dunks we’ve ever seen.
