Kenny and Canadace have a job on their hands, but Team C, featuring next-gen hopefuls like Zach Edey and Dalton Knecht, will be desperate to prove they can mix it with the big boys. But can anybody outshine Mac McClung, the first player to win three straight Slam Dunk titles?

Thunder and Cavaliers coaches Mark Daigneault and Kenny Atkinson will lead a team apiece, as will one of their assistants.
