On First Take, Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe and Udonis Haslem consider what a superstar like Ja Morant, Zion Williamson or Zach LaVine could bring to the NBA’s Slam Dunk Contest while considering the bar Mac McClung has elevated it to from the G-League.

Not dribbling? this is just racism.

Stephen A is such a hater πππ
How can he even say this ish with a straight face? and why are these brothas taking him seriously π

Stephen A talking about Mac not dribbling is laughable dude really got crazy handle.. He really a street ball player he just small but he can definitely dribble as well as dunk

I don’t care for any dunk that cannot be executed in an actual game or requires props. Ja’s dunks are way better than anything Macclung can do, and no cars or other people needed.

Iβm so fβing glad Shannon and UD called Stephen A out. He literally does this all the time! Finally they call him out! I am a Stephen a fan so I am not trying to sound like a hater, but it drives me crazy when he does this. UD described it perfectly with the βno disrespectβ example.

He doesnβt dribble? What does that got to do with anything? π€¦πΎββοΈπ€¦πΎββοΈ

I’m going to say it how it is. He is being racist cuz a white boy is skooling all the competition.. also, cuz he is from the G league.. Give respect to the current champ cuz he ain’t scare of nobody.. he is hungry..

He is saying better players in the nba could of done it better? Who, name them.. all those super star players are too afraid to join, to careful cuz they might lose stock value, endorsements money, n afraid of being ridiculed.. that is why they don’t join..

The fact they think superstars should spend time practicing for a dunk contest and not using that time to practice with their team or rest is as stupid as it gets. Possibly causing injury to themselves or costing their team wins is as selfish as it gets. Itβs a new era. Get used to it!

McClung shitting on the NBA players today in the dunking test?

I could win the dunk contest
@ejnunez5777
February 19, 2025 at 2:05 am
I missed the part where itβs the dribbling contest. Or when dribbling played a role on the score you get for the dunk. SAS is ridiculous for this take..

MATT MCCLUNG AVERAGES 0.0 PTS A GAME IN THE NBA
JAH MORANT SHOULD NOT LOWER HIMSELF TO C9MPETE AGAINST A SCRUB LIKE MATT MCCLUNG

It’s a dunk contest not a dribbling contest what a f*cking idiot
@gohashi
February 19, 2025 at 2:15 am
I appreciate Unc calling out Stephen A. Mac is no scrub and didn’t three beat the dunk contest by chance. That man put in the work and rejuvenated the dunk contest the past three years. It’s been almost 10 years since Gordan and Lavine competed in the dunk contest. Stop the nonsense Stephen A.

I’m old enough to remember Dc. J dunking from the free throw line and got a half court run headstart without dribbling the basketball not ONCE!!!

SAS never fails to show his racism. Man, sitting there gassing up Bronny whoβs a G-leaguer. MAC is one of the best dunkers is what it is. Whatever league heβs in doesnβt diminish his skills. Just come out and say you donβt want a white person dominating.

ppl talking like Mclung has never or couldn’t dunk w/o props; just take a look back in his previous ones…smh
@asianal
February 19, 2025 at 2:49 am
This fool aint give mclung no love???? all credibility lost. Talk all you want, Mcclung dunks better than all those superstars.
