I think some people are understandably crying foul because Trey was competing. There’s a bigger picture here though. The GLeague is starting to compete head to head with the NCAA for players. They’ve already shown you can go to the GLeague and be a top 10 pick. Now the GLeague can also tout sharing the stage at All Star weekend.

Maybe, but there is no correlation between what you're saying and Mac McClung being in the dunk contest.

Dude is your typical 4-year college guy who wants to keep the dream alive by playing in the G-League. He has no real NBA future, just is a really good dunker.


ETA: They tried this exact same thing with James White in 2013 where the Knicks called him up from the G-League like a week before the dunk contest so he could be in the contest. Only difference is that the lights were too bright for him compared to McClung.
