Kevin Love has become some sort of comedian on social media and the latest to become his punchline is Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. who participated and lost in the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend Dunk Contest.
Mac McClung of the Orlando Magic pulled off the first ever three-peat in the Dunk Contest with his never before seen slams, with one involving jumping over a car.
Stephon Castle of the San Antonio Spurs finished second place in the contest.
As for Jackson Jr, who had a good level of hype before the contest, his dunks were not that bad but they barely had an impact to the audience, largely because of the misses. That’s what Love was trying to get at when he quoted Ja Morant who hinted that he might join the next edition because of what McClung did.
“I feel the same after watching Andre Jackson dunk,” he wrote on X.

After the contest, Jackson Jr. said he is moving on from the loss.
“This is just another battery in my back, man. Didn’t go the way I wanted but you know what I mea
