PHOTOS: Best moments from Jaylen Brown in the NBA’s 2024 Slam Dunk Contest

Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has become the fifth-ever member of the storied ball club to take part in the NBA’s annual Slam Dunk Contest, coming in the runner-up against the defending champion, Mac McClung of the Osceola Magic.

Apart from Brown and McClung, the contest also pitted New York Knicks forward Jacob Toppin and Miami Heat wing Jamie Jaquez, Jr. against one another, with Toppin and Jaquez, Jr. not making it out of the first round. Brown put together a solid array of tribute dunks to Dee Brown, Dominique Wilkins, and his friend and teammate Terrence Clarke, in the losing effort.

Despite not getting the victory, it was a good showing for the Georgia native and one that should help encourage other renowned NBA dunkers to participate in future contests. Let’s take a look at some highlights.
