 Don't contest. You know what? I have an apology to make here. I picked Mack MacLung to win because I wanted the chaos, right? I just wanted the league to get a little bit embarrassed, but my goodness. He defeats Trey Murphy, three perfect on the first try dunks. Here he is with our own shams leading up to the contest itself. How many dunks on dunk contest night are we gonna see that we've never seen before? There's at least two that I know have never been done in the contest. And hopefully I make them. That's that's the number one goal. But no, at least two. He's one of those kids that you either look 16 or 40. I just don't know what to do half the time. But shams, did he save it? A lot of people are saying he saved the dunk contest. You hear that every like three, four years, right? Like players are actually exactly being saved the dunk contest. I don't know if the dunk contest can ever be saved. I think that it could be back to the level where it's respectable. And obviously Mack MacLung stole the show Saturday night and he told me he had two dunks. And I remember I put that clip out. There was some hate, some positivity. I think the odds also changed. So shout out to the odds. But the one thing that I heard in the aftermath is there were like two or three dunks that Mack MacLung had, not even the ones that we saw, right? There was a 540 and then there was that double pump over the two guys, two friends of his. There were other dunks that he had that he was, he's saving for next year. If he's in the dunk contest again next year, which he will be unless he's not in the NBA or in the G League. But I mean, the kid put on a show, he's a good dude. And I think, I don't know if he saved it, but he brought it back to a really, really high level of respectability in my opinion. Yeah. I mean, this kid, he was the weekend. And I think everyone made the jokes about him and he's not an NBA player. And I was one of those guys as well. And I still think it's slightly weird that he's not an actual NBA player. Well, he is now. Yeah. But listen, he, he showed out. Yeah. He showed out. This dunk right here was really, really nasty. The tap on the backboard reverse was really, really nasty. And obviously the appeal is this is a, you know, 511 white kid that looks like my accountant and he's jumping over me. That is really impressive. That is fun to watch. He's going against these nine, seven foot NBA players that are extremely athletic. And it wasn't even close. And he should have got all fifties. Lisa Leslie smoked him on one, on a, but this kid and then watching him honestly in the interviews and watching him, how humble he is and how he's enjoyed this journey and process. I'm super hyped for the kid. And this was his moment. And he took full advantage of it. And who knows, maybe, I mean, I think he's still has to be on a team next year to come back. There's a lot of these guys I've seen these dunk contested, the street baller guys that they could fly around. We're not inviting them. So how, you know, I mean, like he's got to be on a roll. Yeah. It's coming. Eddie. Mack McClung has played in two NBA games in his career. So I guess in that sense, he's an NBA. Look, watching him talk with Psalms and then watching him talk at the dunk contest and then watching him introduce post Malone. He's such a humble guy. And just like really enjoying being there. It became really hard to hate him. I do kind of hate the, he brought the dunk contest back stuff. I didn't, they kept saying a star is born guys. He's not a star. He's a great dunk contest. And he did really well. We're calling him a star. We're stretching it a little bit. I had a friend of mine tell me, this is peak white privilege because he did a 360 and they called it a 540. And I was like, that's, that's what it's about. I guess right there. Great performance by him and Trey Murphy. I'm disappointed by Kmart Jr. But hey, it was a good dunk contest. It was a solid NBA Saturday night. Did it come out like former teammate Steph Curry, by the way, like just a little bit of slant from his guy, I'm guessing, but it was cool. It was cool. I don't think he's a star. He got a Puma contract. And so congrats on the Puma contract. And I think that's dope. It's a great story now. I want to see him in an NBA game. Dunk it. He's never dunked in an NBA game. So I'm holding the trophy. He had dunked in NBA game. He's dunked in NBA game before. He's definitely dunked in NBA game four. He has. I want to see the footage. I need to see the footage too. He did a double pump. Lakers that was so early. No, I think it was going to be a game. The craziest thing no, we got, we got to pull up the footage. The craziest thing back to dunk contest that I noticed being there was he made it. His like, he made all his dunks on the first attempt. Like usually you see guys take two attempts, three attempts, Kenny Martin. He came on. Actually, I think might have had the sickest dunk on that. I think Matt McClung had a nice dunk. I think Kenny Martin's first dunk up and under a windmill like that was nasty. He just took him three tries. Yeah. But when Matt did make it on his first attempt every single time, I thought that was very impressive too. I'm with you, Shams. Like I'm a purist on the dunk. Like if you, you can get one mess up once and I'm like, all right, fine. But you lose me. It just, I feel like it's like, all right. And I know they get three attempts now and they get the minute 20, whatever the heck it is. But you got to get it on the first try. That's what Shaq kept telling everybody. Take, oh, we got the dunk. Oh, eat it, Eddie. Wow. Yolk is sort of fouled him. Yolk is sort of fouled him. This is preseason for sure. This is one of those. This is one of those. Yeah, there you go. Why are you doing it? Hey, he's done the NBA game. We pulled up the tapes. So why is he not on a roster for, like why is he not on a roster on the reg? Like why, what's the problem here? Because this is fun. He'll run it back. But there are enough bad teams, right? Because he's shorter than Shams. Yeah. I got homies in Orlando that can do crazy dunks. That doesn't mean they can do anything else in an NBA game. I know, but I feel like he's going to put butts in seats. Like, you know, give everybody these illusions of grandeur. I don't know. I don't know. Back solely on running back. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. You got him back today. Eddie was heading back to Shaq. If you buy a ticket to the Sixers game to see Mack McClung maybe play four minutes, you have issues. Okay, but that's the Sixers. The Sixers are in contention. I'm talking like all the teams that are not in contention. Like the Hornets. Dispers. Put them on the Spurs. Shut, Eddie. I wasn't going to say that. Whatever. Look, I think he should be invited back no matter where he is in life this time next year, just like on a legacy invite. Like it's almost like you're the reigning champ. You have to come back. Why not? You guys defend your title. If he's working that guy though, he should not be in the NBA film contest. No. I'm sorry. You know what though? I'm pretty sure he'll be there next year. I mean, this is a guy, he turned out like $1.2 million to play in China just so he can try to be in the NBA this year. And he ends up in the dunk contest. He ends up on a two-way. I don't see how Philly can cut him anytime soon. I assume he'll ride out the rest of this season on that two-way and then you go from there. But I'm pretty sure we'll see him next year in the dunk. Yeah, because who was it? Ja already said he's not going to do it. Zion said he'll consider it. Like, I don't know what else you guys, nobody's coming. There's no white knight coming in. He's going to save the day. Hey, you noticed Ja had his own little dunk contest in the game though. He wanted to give us the updates of what he could show us. But that's garbage. Is it not? Like you've specifically said you don't want to do the dunk contest but yet tease us all with what you could. It should have been all layups for him in the game if he's not going to do the dunk contest. Crapy threes. Yeah, it's fair. I actually had more fun watching over the weekend than I thought I would. I just want to throw that out there. I'm usually pretty negative.
