Mac McClung’s legendary Dunk Contest performance proves NBA doesn’t need stars like Ja Morant to keep it alive

San Francisco To a large extent, we see the alternative from the same idea. some The American Professional League Superstar sits in a hotel room or on a tropical island in the first days of the All-Star break, and you see either Dunk Contest for Emaries or one more suitable for the fast food piston. After that, they get itching and cannot resist the exit to millions of social media followers who are considering registering for the competition next year.

This time there were high rings Memphis Gregs Protect Ja MorantClearly inspired – like our rest – by The third repetition of His Majesty, the incomprehensible air in Mac McLung.

“It might make me Mac decided Donk,” is TweetIt made it more interesting by the fact that Morant had previously released a self -embargo on this season … It lasted about 72 hours.

Morant’s tweet received a noticeable response from Milwokuki Paczz star AnttokounmpoWho said, “If you do this. I will do it with you,” followed by “100” expressions.

The choice of emojis is suitable, as there is a 100 % chance because this will never happen.

The most famous “I will do dunk competition!” Man Liberon JamesWho disturbed the participation on multiple occasions, but did not pull this trigger. The American Professional League analysts and former players alike blamed James’s lack of enthusiasm in the competition as part of the cause of its decline in a severe days since Michael Jordan and Venice Carter.

But these arguments are based on a wrong hypothesis: that fans want to see the stars in the Dunk competition. How do we know it is a wrong hypothesis? Do not look further than McClaung, who won only three peaches in the history of the American Professional League.

Now he is 26 years old, McLung played in exactly five games in the American Professional League. He played the largest number of minutes of the American Professional League (71) as points Donovan Mitchell Once recorded in one game. Many have not heard outside the MixTape High School, even from McClung before the first Donk competition in the summons three years ago.

The answer, people, is directly facing our faces. It’s not Stars That will draw excitement. that it dive. Maccolong has creativity, charisma – and most of all – the passion of unbridled to overcome. With his own acceptance, he spent “eight or nine months” working on the diving that we all collected on Saturday night. Part of that, it is supposed to be because it is not burdened with the demands of being a star in the American Professional League.

“It is just something I love to do,” said McLung after his victory on Saturday night. “I think this is the place where my creativity comes. This is because I really love this competition and I love to deal with it.”

Think about returning to Gilin Brown. The All NBA player who will continue to win the final MVP was in one of the most exercise privileges in the Donk competition last year. Oh waiting? Have you forgotten? This is because it was completely detonated from the water by McClaung in the final round.

Here we have a literal representation of skill and performance to get to know the names, yet we still notice that we need stars to save the Donk competition? Make it logical.

Here is a modest suggestion: Instead of the noise of the doors of people who do not want to be in a Donk competition, and they may do a modest job when they arrived there, why don’t we go in the other direction? Malongong star in the league, and there is likely to be others who can make an absolute offer when it comes to basketball cover. Just look at some of these prominent points of the G League Dunk competition over the years. Tell me that some of these people could not draw more excitement André Jackson Junior. and Mattas Bouzilis – The American Professional League names said that most informal fans will meet the empty stars.

And if we are really serious about getting the best possible diving on the ground on Saturday evening, why not back down in the world or professional dunkers? Yes, this is something, and it is really glorious. All the time Lieberon spends sharpening his basketball skills, these men are simply devoted to dip.

McLung mentioned that Isaiah Rivera helped him prepare him to win on Saturday, so that he had lended his car to practice what he will undoubtedly decrease One of the best diving in the history of the competition. If you are not aware of Rivera, here are just a short extract of his ability as Dunker.

You say you do not want it in a competition without you? Or what about this madness from Jordan Kiljan?

Certainly, you have never heard of these men. But you have never heard of Mac McClung as well, and now it is a family name that we hope, and prayer will return for another year after he said that he “may think about his comment after this.” It is a testimony of the amount of work it requires this Good like Dunker.

“This year this year he really felt this great challenge,” McLung said on Saturday night. “Yes, I don’t know. I don’t want to say, man, but I think this has taken a lot of me, for sure. I have prepared very early and put a lot of work in it.”

McClyong has undoubtedly proven that fans will respond to the great Dunkers with magnetic magic and unique arsenal. At this stage, with the degree of difficulty and creativity necessary to do something really original, you will not get this from the American Professional League stars.

The American Professional League opened the door to Claong, and it broke the matter near the thing. If the league really wants to save the Dunk competition, it is time to allow others without the American Professional League to rush.
