No offense to the caliber of Mac MaClung, but he's played five games in the NBA for his entire career. Otherwise he's been relegated to the G-League. Would he even be in the G-League if not for the Slam Dunk Contest? It almost feels like he's an amateur they're bringing in for the contest... If that's the case why not bring in players from the Globetrotters and street ballers to fill the void?
Here were the contestants this year. Not exactly a who's who of the NBA. I don't know who any of them are, other than MacLung since he wins every year.
