    I’m so f’ing glad Shannon and UD called Stephen A out. He literally does this all the time! Finally they call him out! I am a Stephen a fan so I am not trying to sound like a hater, but it drives me crazy when he does this. UD described it perfectly with the “no disrespect” example.

    I’m going to say it how it is. He is being racist cuz a white boy is skooling all the competition.. also, cuz he is from the G league.. Give respect to the current champ cuz he ain’t scare of nobody.. he is hungry..

    He is saying better players in the nba could of done it better? Who, name them.. all those super star players are too afraid to join, to careful cuz they might lose stock value, endorsements money, n afraid of being ridiculed.. that is why they don’t join..

    The fact they think superstars should spend time practicing for a dunk contest and not using that time to practice with their team or rest is as stupid as it gets. Possibly causing injury to themselves or costing their team wins is as selfish as it gets. It’s a new era. Get used to it!

    I missed the part where it’s the dribbling contest. Or when dribbling played a role on the score you get for the dunk. SAS is ridiculous for this take..

    MATT MCCLUNG AVERAGES 0.0 PTS A GAME IN THE NBA
    JAH MORANT SHOULD NOT LOWER HIMSELF TO C9MPETE AGAINST A SCRUB LIKE MATT MCCLUNG

    It’s a dunk contest not a dribbling contest what a f*cking idiot

    I appreciate Unc calling out Stephen A. Mac is no scrub and didn’t three beat the dunk contest by chance. That man put in the work and rejuvenated the dunk contest the past three years. It’s been almost 10 years since Gordan and Lavine competed in the dunk contest. Stop the nonsense Stephen A.

    I’m old enough to remember Dc. J dunking from the free throw line and got a half court run headstart without dribbling the basketball not ONCE!!!

    SAS never fails to show his racism. Man, sitting there gassing up Bronny who’s a G-leaguer. MAC is one of the best dunkers is what it is. Whatever league he’s in doesn’t diminish his skills. Just come out and say you don’t want a white person dominating.

    SAS is at it again… he’s discrediting Mac big time!

  20. @trojandarkhorse2022

    February 18, 2025 at 9:56 pm

    Most of those stars that SAS mentioned who took part in the Dunk Contest were not superstars at the time….young Kobe, young MJ, young Vince (who only dis ut ONE time) young TMac, …stop with nonsense….

    SAS but hurt that McClung won…no one gave him pity votes….he EARNED it…foh with “he didn’t dribble” glad UNC clapped back….

    McClung ain’t beating Zach or Gordon plus a few others he did the same backwards dunk 4 times in 3 different dunk contest 😂

    The fact Mac has been slept by the nba is the biggest crime of all. None of these talking heads are capable of noticing it.
