The four-man field for the 2025 Slam Dunk competition is set.

According to Shams Charania von ESPN, the Mac McCung of Orlando Magic-The Due to Defending Slam Dunk competition master von San Antonio Spurs Rookie Stephon Castle, Chicago Bulls Rookie Matas Buzelis and Milwaukee Bucks Guard Andre Jackson Jr.

McCung is obviously the main attraction.

He was not only the first G League player who performed in the Dunk competition in 2023, but also the first who ever won, dazzling fans with a series of unforgettable moves.

And he defended his title last year and won the victory by winning the NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

McCung will try to be the first man who has ever won three Dunk competition titles in a row. He would also bind Nate Robinson with a win for most of the Dunk competition championships.

It was unclear whether he would pursue the three-goal after the events of the past year.

“I don’t know. We’ll think about it,” he said reporters after his victory of 2024 when he asked himself about a third title in a row. “I’m not sure yet.”

This time, however, he will have some top competition. Castle showed some serious hops in his rookie season.

So has Buzelis. Both Castle and Buzelis have the experience of the Slam Dunk competition, if not at NBA level and on the 2023 McDonald’s High School Dunk competition.

And Jackson’s Dunking capabilities comes from his high school years.

So that should be a funny event. But until someone proves that they can lose weight, they will remain the unaffordable favorite.
