Mac McClung (Dunk Contest) and Damian Lillard (3-point shootout) are both going for three-peats on Saturday night

Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. continues to receive good news in recent weeks. Jackson is looking to make a name for himself at the 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. On the eve of the event, some positive news dropped on Jackson.

The excitement that once surrounded the Slam Dunk Contest has faded, and while history could be made Saturday night, you likely won't hear anyone talking up this year's event. Mac McClung is the two-time defending Slam Dunk Contest champion and will be looking to tie three-time champion Nate Robinson for the most dunk contest wins ever.
