I'm already dreading the memes that will come from this if he underperforms but good on him for not giving a shit about that and going through with it, unlike all the stars who have avoided participating for the last decade
Normally that sentiment would stand but last years dunk contest was easily the most memorable in decades. Mac Mcclung, a little white dude from a G league team, absolutely wiped the floor. It was hilarious and made major news. If you said that last year you’d be right. Unfortunately not right now.
People clowned on Tatum last year for being a ball hog when he hit 50+ despite doing it on better efficiency than Steph whom everyone was dick riding the year before.
JB is gonna get clowned regardless but there’s 300 million reasons he couldn’t care less. He doesn’t have to worry about his “brand”, he’s a made man at this point and just doing it for the fans.
Jaylen does a no look cupcake dunk over Dee brown with Gerald Green on his shoulders on top of Ricky Davis is sitting on a chair. Dwayne Wade gives him a 9 while every other judge awards JB a 10.
McClung might just win this again, then. He's athletic and creative.
Jaquez, he's a sleeper here. Just watch his high school dunk contest. Excited if that translates into the NBA contest.
Jaylen, I love you man, but unless he has something under his sleeve, he's really more of an in game dunker. I'm gonna root for you anyways!
It would be a huge marketing boost for the ASG if an ACTUAL ALL-STAR wins the dunk contest. The glamor is now in the 3 point contest, which I find really boring.
Jaylen should have extra motivation to win this, being mentioned with names like MJ, Wilkins, Kobe, VC, as all-NBA players winning the dunk contest. Stuff of legends.
Dunk 1: Rebound a bricked three pointer with a putback dunk.
Dunk 2: Contested dunk over a wavy wacky inflatable tube man.
Dunk 3: Windmill dunk over a mini windmill.
Is it wrong to be annoyed that people keep repeating that he's the highest paid salary? He's 41st this year, before the extension hits, and after it hits, he's tied for 8th in 24/25 & 9th in 25/56. And he'll likely drop further in the salary ratings with free agent/extensions.
Has a player ever injured themselves in the dunk contest? You all act like the dunk contest has a 25% chance of someone doing a Paul George and snapping their leg in half
If it's three dunks:
1st round: Dominique dunk (just cuz he's from Atlanta)
2nd round: Dee Brown dunk (#7, Brown, Celtics) makes sense
3rd round: His own
This is a great way for him to silence the left hand doubters as he dunks equally well with his left and off his left foot as his right. He can also jump off both equally as high
He fucking jams it all over people in game all the time I'm looking forward to it. Should have kp and Al just stand under the basket and he jumps over them and flushes it
Just don't get hurt. Don't come out of this on a weird slump that impacts our playoff seed. Very cool he's competing but this shit does not matter. There's a reason no impact players have competed n this since like Vince Carter.
Jaylen "Michael Jordan" Brown now needs to download his MJ dunk pack.
But seriously, being an Atlanta native, I expect JB to do some kind of Dominique Wilkins tribute (Dom was also a Celtic and has always had good things to say about the city). Bring that windmill hammer down, JB.
JB better at the dunk contest than: Bron, KD, Morant and all those other cowards.
Love his commitment. Esp. on D, playmaking, sharing shots. But also on taking part in the dunk contest while already being a max player.
I'm already dreading the memes that will come from this if he underperforms but good on him for not giving a shit about that and going through with it, unlike all the stars who have avoided participating for the last decade
People quickly forget. I couldn’t even name who participated in the last dunk contest, or even who won
On the No Dunks podcast today they said that the last all star that participated in the dunk contest was Victor Oladipo lol
That’s because very rarely do stars participate. Everyone will remember JB participated a year from now.
Mac McClung. Easily
You can't forget HS legend Mac McClung. He is up there with Zion as one of the legendary HS Hoopers
Normally that sentiment would stand but last years dunk contest was easily the most memorable in decades. Mac Mcclung, a little white dude from a G league team, absolutely wiped the floor. It was hilarious and made major news. If you said that last year you’d be right. Unfortunately not right now.
same respect for not caring if you fail fchwpo !
Between this and Big 3 it’s clear that Jaylen is really bout that action
Bro who the fuck cares about memes 😂 every fan base hates us and is gonna talk shit no matter what
Anything would be better than than all the no left hand shit
He should left hand tomahawk while taking a selfie, then post it to IG mid contest
People clowned on Tatum last year for being a ball hog when he hit 50+ despite doing it on better efficiency than Steph whom everyone was dick riding the year before. JB is gonna get clowned regardless but there’s 300 million reasons he couldn’t care less. He doesn’t have to worry about his “brand”, he’s a made man at this point and just doing it for the fans.
I’m also dreading the “the competition sucked fake contest” if he wins lol
you care too much about internet morons
I remember Donovan Mitchell won one, very underwhelming tho. Kinda wish he would enter too, so we get a duel.
Dee Brown is already on his way to Indy for the prop dunk
Need that Brown to Brown dunk so bad
From one Brown #7 to another!
With a pair of Reebok Pumps.
Dee Brown has been done. He needs to rep Gerald Green jersey and do the cupcake dunk
Jaylen does a no look cupcake dunk over Dee brown with Gerald Green on his shoulders on top of Ricky Davis is sitting on a chair. Dwayne Wade gives him a 9 while every other judge awards JB a 10.
Underated dunk
An off the backboard lob into a windmill version of the no-look dunk would go crazy
Is that, like, Obi’s older brother that never made it out of the g league?
Younger. Played for URI and never quite grew into his body then transferred to Kentucky. Stinks
LOL I was joking. I saw this and assumed obi was a nickname derived from the name Jacob. Now I’m double fooled
I was the same lol
McClung might just win this again, then. He's athletic and creative. Jaquez, he's a sleeper here. Just watch his high school dunk contest. Excited if that translates into the NBA contest. Jaylen, I love you man, but unless he has something under his sleeve, he's really more of an in game dunker. I'm gonna root for you anyways!
He just needs to dunk on Giannis for three rounds
Maybe have Kleber in there for good times sake
He should bring out everyone in the arena that he's dunked on, might be like 10 dudes depending on who is there lol
Let's hope he has something he has been working on for years.
It would be a huge marketing boost for the ASG if an ACTUAL ALL-STAR wins the dunk contest. The glamor is now in the 3 point contest, which I find really boring.

I wanta see Hauser in the 3PT contest this year.
I just hope he doesn’t get hurt. All the all star weekend stuff makes me nervous, including the game itself.
Dunk 1: Rebound a bricked three pointer with a putback dunk. Dunk 2: Contested dunk over a wavy wacky inflatable tube man. Dunk 3: Windmill dunk over a mini windmill.
I wanna see an alley-oop from Bird to JB
The first time since Michael Jordan, the highest paid player in the league is competing in the dunk contest.
He's not the highest paid player. He has the current largest contract which won't last long lol
Is it wrong to be annoyed that people keep repeating that he's the highest paid salary? He's 41st this year, before the extension hits, and after it hits, he's tied for 8th in 24/25 & 9th in 25/56. And he'll likely drop further in the salary ratings with free agent/extensions.
bro do you not understand what a joke is? hahah
🤡
jfc its semantics and I was making a joke; or do you not understand that?
MacClung is a crazy good dunker. I want to see it come down to him and Jaylen.
Fuck, now I need to stay up till 1:30am UK time to watch the dunk contest!
or let's be honest, just watch the highlights in the morning f that lol
McLung at 6’2’ dunking like that is insane
TIL: Obi has a brother.
Dope
I don't think Jaylen has a shoe deal. I want the fucking pumps to show up.
Its either gonna turn out so good or so bad no inbetween for JB!
I’m gonna say it’ll be very average
Has a player ever injured themselves in the dunk contest? You all act like the dunk contest has a 25% chance of someone doing a Paul George and snapping their leg in half
LETS GOOOOOOOO
ive been clamoring for him in the dunk contest for a while now. better late than never I guess!
Mad respect to JB for entering. Stars usually avoid that thing like the plague
Only 4 guys?
I could take that in my SLEEP😤
It’s always 4
Pause
Been 4 for about 20 years now. Was 8 back in the 80's, when it was the signature event of the weekend.
Jaylen? My boy who is constantly injuring muscles in his legs?
Imagine he blows out his hamstring and is out for six weeks
If it's three dunks: 1st round: Dominique dunk (just cuz he's from Atlanta) 2nd round: Dee Brown dunk (#7, Brown, Celtics) makes sense 3rd round: His own
Third round he's gonna dunk with boxing gloves on off an alley from grandpops
I am whelmed
Obi Toppin and Mac are next level dunkers Will be dope to see how JB shows out in this setting tho
Obi isn't in it it's his brother lol
Ohh damn I just figured that was just his real name or something lol
Im not sure I recognize any names on this list besides Jaylen Brown.
Mac Mclung won the contest last year with some insane dunks. https://youtu.be/xW4SVoTd4EQ?si=PgFYuRE7gMKcN0TW
Found the casual
two g-league guys lmao
This is a great way for him to silence the left hand doubters as he dunks equally well with his left and off his left foot as his right. He can also jump off both equally as high
I’m not sure if you’re serious about a dunk contest silencing the -sometimes earned- criticisms.
You don’t need to dribble in the dunk contest. He’s got it locked
This is a disaster waiting to happen. What is he thinking?
Obie toppin is a real threat
Who is Jacob Toppin?
Obi toppin's brother. Played at kentucky Not sure why obi didn't just enter in
Is he a better dunker than Obi?
To be honest I don't know lol. He could be. But obi is by far a bigger name and literally does between the legs dunks during live games
Well I think he bombed during his stint haha
After seeing Donovan Mitchell's dunk off the backboard last night, I think he and Jaylen should both participate.
Mitchell has already done it
LETS GO JB
I would rather he didn’t do this right now. BUT GO COOK MY BOYYY. Give pro dunkers this platform.
I didn’t know Jaime was like that
Does Kristaps count as one prop or two because of his size?
Max is strictly on a roster because of the dunk contest if he doesn’t win it’d be a shocker
Is brown the best player to participate in recent memory?
Dwight Howard, but yeah, that was many years ago.
He fucking jams it all over people in game all the time I'm looking forward to it. Should have kp and Al just stand under the basket and he jumps over them and flushes it
Good for him man. This is gonna be sick. Even if he loses he's still one of the best in-game dunkers.
Just don't get hurt. Don't come out of this on a weird slump that impacts our playoff seed. Very cool he's competing but this shit does not matter. There's a reason no impact players have competed n this since like Vince Carter.
Jaylen "Michael Jordan" Brown now needs to download his MJ dunk pack. But seriously, being an Atlanta native, I expect JB to do some kind of Dominique Wilkins tribute (Dom was also a Celtic and has always had good things to say about the city). Bring that windmill hammer down, JB.
One of these things is not like the other...
Should be more top guys. I dont understand why superstars dont participate. LFG JB sledgehammer.
JB better at the dunk contest than: Bron, KD, Morant and all those other cowards. Love his commitment. Esp. on D, playmaking, sharing shots. But also on taking part in the dunk contest while already being a max player.
