Draymond Green Shares Bold All-Star Weekend Predictions

In this story:
It is finally All-Star Saturday Night, one of the most exciting parts of All-Star Weekend. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently shared his predictions for the dunk contest and three-point contest on his podcast, going in-depth on why he sees the events playing out this way.
"I got [Damian Lillard] winning the three-point contest," Green said on his podcast. "But I will tell you a dark horse in this, because he does not jump on his shot, it's just pick up here, the funny release - Tyrese Haliburton is a dark horse, because it's just not much motion in his shot. It's not much knee bend... So he's a dark horse, but I'm taking [Lillard] to win it."
On his dunk contest prediction, Green said, "We have watched Mac McClung for years, crazy dunks. Dude, Mac McClung, after these years in the G-League, in that grind, still got the same legs - I played with Mac, we had him in training camp this year, and he showed me a couple times, like, 'Oh, I still got it.' So that's going to be interesting. My pick for this one, I'm going to go Mac McClung."
Gong with Lillard in the three-point contest and McClung in the dunk contest, Draymond Green's picks are in for All-Star Saturday Night. It should be a fun one for fans around the league.
