It’s clear that McClung still has all the athleticism needed to win, but fans in Los Angeles instead had to settle for a bizarre string of dunks from Johnson, Jace Richardson, Jackson Hayes and Carter Bryant throughout the night.
The dunk contest, and the NBA All-Star Weekend as a whole, have received tremendous criticism in recent years for a perceived decline in quality, with many fans bemoaning the fact that big players often refuse to participate in the event these days.

Tipoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM ET from Los Angeles.
