A contest that has historically seen its fair share of All-Star power is now largely reduced to young rank-and-file players (at best). For example, the 2025 dunk contest this year features up-and-coming Spurs guard Stephon Castle along with defending champion Mac McClung (on a two-way contract with Orlando) and seldom-used rookies Matas Buzelis and Andre Jackson. Their average scoring output this season is 7.53 ppg, the fourth-worst mark for any dunk contest field in NBA history.

Eric Nehm: Doc Rivers, on Andre Jackson Jr. in the starting five: "Just be an athlete. Be quick to the ball. Defend. Understand your role. He's gotta be a roller, a great slot cutter, play from the dunker spot at times on offense. And he's gotta be disruptive without fouling on defense."
