Shabazz Muhammad Wins McDonald’s Dunk Contest

If you missed it here’s the video of the McDonald’s All-American Game Slam Dunk contest battle between Kentucky signee Archie Goodwin (No. 24) and uncommitted wing Shabazz Muhammad (No. 15).

Muhammed ended up winning the contest in part by running to the free throw line and elevating over North Carolina-bound Marcus Paige for a putbank dunk off the glass.

UCLA remains the clubhouse favorite for the 6-foot-6 Muhammad, who said Kentucky and Duke also stand out.
