00:00You will start with the three-point contest for All-Star Saturday night.

00:05Damian Lillard has won the last two years. He is going for the three-peat, and he is plus 375

00:14for that. Darius Garland is 5-1. You then have Hero, Buddy Heald, Norman Powell,

00:20Jalen Brunson, Cam Johnson, and Cade Cunningham, the long shot at 12-1.

00:26Everyone is on Lillard to three-peat.

00:31All right, so I guess that sounds like it could very well happen. He's won it twice,

00:38but am I going to get anything out of it? No. So why don't we go with those Heald-Powell numbers?

00:47I'm going to go. Can I make some money here if I get lucky? We just talked about how great

00:53Norman Powell has been this year for the Clippers. Could he get lucky and surprise

00:58Dame Time on Saturday night, or Buddy Heald, who can definitely jack threes?

01:05Hero's sandwich isn't bad at 5-1 either. He can shoot them.

01:10Yeah, I like that mix, those three guys in the fives. I'm going to go Heald,

01:17and I'll take a deep shot too. Cam Johnson at plus 850. Cam Johnson at plus 850. He can hit him

01:24too. I'm going to take one long shot. I got to take one guy. And now what you really have been

01:29waiting for, the dunk contest on Saturday night. I've got numbers for you. Mack McClung also

01:38looking for a three-peat, like Lillard. He's minus 210. Andre Jackson Jr., 5-1.

01:46Bezouli is to 7-1 from the Bulls, and Castle's 8-1. Your numbers for the slam dunk contest.

01:53I'll take Castle at 8-1 because I want a big payout, and I'm not interested in this whatsoever.

02:03And McClung, he's not even in the league, and he keeps winning the dunk contest. Like,

02:07what is happening here? And then how about he announced this is his final one.

02:11He should do himself a favor and keep doing it because he matters so little

02:16in basketball now that this is the only thing that keeps his name relevant.

02:22This is the only thing he's got. Why would you give it up? I mean, they keep getting

02:26it back every year. Even he's gone primo on us. The guy that has nothing.

02:32He's one step away from playing in that TBT tournament in the summer. I mean,

02:38you might as well keep showing up. Well, there's some money at stake there, at least.

02:44Probably not as much as winning the dunk contest. You got to get a couple bucks for that, I mean.

02:48Listen, what has he got? He's got to make his whole year.

02:50I want to know is, what has he got out of it? You remember, didn't Spud Webb and these guys,

02:56they got commercials at some point out of it. Weren't they doing cereal or something?

03:00This guy McClung, he wins back-to-back and he's never done anything. Have you ever seen him do

03:08anything else ever? When it's over for him, when he wins, it's over. There's no residual.
