Jackson Jr commits to dunk contest

[Fishy]

I love Steph, but I would fake an injury to get away from Andre here.

 

[Huskyforlife]

This is gonna be a giant advertisement for UConn basketball. Can’t wait.

 

[Woof 101]

Pat Mcafee is unwatchable

Could this be because you proclaim yourself as a Resident Ignorant Dope? Your words. That and live up to the fact?
You possibly prefer soap operas and have that right. Pat does a lot to promote UConn. That and open interview men across the boards for insight. This on multiple sports.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I hardly ever watch those shows but I find him much more watchable then Stephen A. and all the other sports talk personalities. When I've seen him he's usually funny like he is in this clip and his interview format is the best. I caught his interview with Russell Wilson yesterday and it was great. His interview with Hurley was great.

I don’t think anyone really likes Stephen A. McAfee is entertaining but is a bit of a blowhard. His interview with Dan Hurley was great and he does seem to really like him, though.

Jackson is going to win as long as he makes his dunks. The money probably means more to him as a second round pick, also.

I love SAS. I know as a member of the BY I'm supposed to hate everything, but I like to be happy. SAS is entertaining and he makes me laugh

Any shot at Hawkins in the 3pt contest?

He's shooting 33% from 3

Is there any video of AJ competing in dunk contests? Super athletic and bouncy but I need to see what the creativity is like

Entertaining but full of awful takes and reports things that aren’t true and acts as if he’s god.

I remember there was one of him from High School I believe, I can’t find it though :/

Yeah like Steph I only have seen power dunks from Andre. Anyone have links to that creativity?

Sure - but that is his charm. He is not a reporter - he is an entertainer. I take him for what he is and enjoy it.

He's more of a one foot leaper so I think he's going to have to pull off some stuff from out near the ft line. His game dunks are a little unique because he takes off on one foot and dunks really hard but all I've ever seen is one handed and two handed tomahawks. In high school he would do one handed windmills in games but I don't remember seeing that at UConn and in the pros.

McClung is back.

Mac McClung will go for a three-peat as the reigning two-time NBA slam dunk contest champion will return for this year's All-Star event, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Which of them gets dibs on dunking over Clingan?

Lol @ that list of participants, brutal. did Shaedon Sharpe decline again?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I always thought they should have an NBA vs Professional Dunkers contest on All-Star weekend. The pro dunkers probably can’t shoot a free throw or dribble 10 feet but they do some pretty incredible dunks from what I’ve seen online.

The professional dunkers would crush the NBA guys.

 

[Methalius]

I know AJ tested 39” at the combine but I’d be shocked if he can’t get up higher than that

That is a standing vertical. Not too often that guys just jump straight up with little to no movement. Jackson is a flier. Even at UConn when he would get some momentum there were few who could ever get up that high.

His standing vert was 30.5 inches, his max vert was 39.5

I stand corrected. He must have increased his vertical then because I've seen him fly recently in highlights.

Right with ya. We did have a front row seat for 3 years though. His thunder dunks will remain legend in my brain.

Agreed, the numbers seem low and I wouldn't put much stock in them.

There's probably only a handful of guys in the NBA who can jump like him on the run.

Guess I’ll be watching the dunk contest AND McDonald’s game this year. What a pleasant turn of events.
