卡斯尔获得第二名，麦克·麦克朗以完美表现三连冠。
在文斯·卡特2000年标志性NBA扣篮大赛25周年之际，圣安东尼奥马刺队的新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)试图创造属于他自己的扣篮传奇。但不幸的是，他遇到了可能是这项赛事中最伟大的扣篮手，麦克·麦克朗。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔在他的首次扣篮大赛中表现令人印象深刻，但麦克朗表现堪称完美，在决赛中以四记满分扣篮击败卡斯尔，实现了三连冠。卡斯尔只差两位评委的满分，就可以迫使比赛进入加时赛，与星光熠熠的麦克朗一较高下。

卡斯尔以一个强劲的360度风车扣篮开始了比赛。这个扣篮与他在比赛中的扣篮风格最为接近。他展现出了马刺球迷们整年都习以为常的力量和垂直高度。这为他赢得了第一轮第二高的分数。

卡斯尔的第二个扣篮是来自篮板背后的180度背后换手扣篮，极具爆发力。这位新秀当时只需要一个稳妥的扣篮即可。马塔斯·布泽利斯和安德烈·杰克逊 Jr.都难以完成他们的扣篮，因此他们的得分也受到了影响。与此同时，麦克朗扣篮飞跃汽车和旋转的悬浮滑板，获得了完美的分数，这让人觉得他的表现是势不可挡的。

卡斯尔的最后两个扣篮令人印象深刻。他的第三个扣篮尝试了几次才成功，但最终他完成了胯下运球后，在进球后完成了扣篮。如果不是因为一开始的几次失误，卡斯尔可能已经获得了满分，并有机会击败麦克朗。
他的最后一个扣篮包括一个360度旋转，背后换手，然后用左手完成了一个手托扣篮。在任何其他比赛中，这都可能是一个能赢得冠军的扣篮。然而，麦克朗跳过了站在平台上的埃文·莫布里，触碰了篮筐，然后扣了下去。他获得了50分，并险胜卡斯尔。
卡斯尔和麦克朗的对比使这次比赛比过去几年更有趣。卡斯尔展示了他的运动能力和力量，而麦克朗则用他的技巧和戏剧性完成了扣篮。后者赢得了比赛，但卡斯尔仍然奉献了一场令人印象深刻的表演。也许不是明年，但这两个扣篮手之间的重赛将会非常有趣。
卡斯尔的工作还没有结束。他有机会在他已经令人印象深刻的全明星周末的基础上，带领他的新秀挑战赛队伍在周日晚上的全明星锦标赛中战胜勒布朗·詹姆斯和斯蒂芬·库里等球星，赢得比赛。

Stephon Castle finishes runner-up in NBA Dunk Contest
Castle gets second place as Mac McClung three-peats in perfect night.
On the 25th anniversary of Vince Carter’s iconic 2000 NBA Dunk Contest, San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle looked to create his legacy as one of the game’s great dunkers. Unfortunately for him, he ran into perhaps the event’s greatest dunker, Mac McClung.
Castle was impressive in his first-ever Dunk Contest, but McClung was perfect, beating Castle in the final round with four perfect scoring dunks on the way to his third-straight dunk title. Castle was two judges away from a perfect final round that would have forced overtime against the stellar McClung.

Castle kicked off the contest with a powerful 360 windmill dunk. This dunk was the closest to his in-game dunking style. He finished with the power and verticality that Spurs fans have gotten used to seeing all year long. This earned him the second-highest score of the first round.

Castle’s second dunk was an off the back board, 180 behind the back slam with authority. The rookie just needed a safe dunk at this point. Matas Buzelis and Andre Jackson Jr. struggled to get their dunks to go down and their scores suffered for it. Meanwhile, McClung was dunking over cars and spinning hover boarders for perfect scores in what felt like an inevitable performance.

Castle’s final two dunks were impressive. He struggled to get his third slam to go down, but finally nailed a between the legs dunk off a made basket. If it weren’t for a few misses to start, Castle might have earned a perfect score to give him a shot at beating McClung.
His final dunk included a 360, a behind the back switching of the hands and then a cupped dunk with his left. In any other contest, this would have been the dunk that crowned a champion. Instead, McClung leapt over Evan Mobley standing on a platform, tapped the rim, and then threw it down. He earned a 50 and just narrowly beat Castle.
The juxtaposition of Castle and McClung made this a more interesting competition than years past. Castle showed off athleticism and power, while McClung dunked with flair and theatrics. The latter won the day, but Castle still put on an impressive show. It may not be next year, but a rematch between these two dunkers would be fun to watch.
Castle’s work isn’t finished. He has a chance to build on an already impressive All-Star weekend by leading his group of Rising Stars to a win over the likes of LeBron James and Stephen Curry in the All-Star Tournament on Sunday night.
