Zion Williamson Won The McDonald’s All-American Dunk Contest With Some Crazy Makes (And Misses)

The McDonald’s All-American Dunk Contest took place Monday night at Morehouse College in Atlanta, where some of the nation’s best prospects tried to put on a show and duke it out for second place behind Zion Williamson.

There was very little doubt that Williamson, whose high school in-game dunk reel is legendary, was going to win provided he did the following things: 1) Show up, 2) Actually try, 3) Didn’t completely miss in any round. The rest of the competition had some pretty great highlights, including Olivia Nelson-Ododa scoring a perfect 100 with her first dunk.

All eyes remained on Zion and the Duke commit did not disappoint with his first dunk — despite requiring four attempts — as he threw down a silly off-the-backboard between-the-legs dunk.

For his second dunk, Williamson reached way back for a thunderous one-handed dunk to move on to the finals.

His first dunk of the finals set the bar incredibly high, earning a perfect score with a 360 windmill off a bounce.

To put an exclamation point on his dunk contest victory, Williamson went for an absurd 360 reach back dunk that would’ve brought the house down, but wasn’t able to get it to go after a couple of attempts.

So, to avoid disaster and not completing a dunk in the time limit, Williamson shifted gears to his safety dunk, which was a ridiculous double-pump two-handed reverse.
