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.

Latest comments

  • Archie Goodwin clearly got robbed.

  • shabazz’s second dunk was pretty sweet. but yeah…goodwin probably should have won it

  • Gabe York would have easily won both 3 pt and dunk but 4 some reason he wasn’t on the roster.
    Mcdonalds needs to get a clue when picking teams.

  • Because every uk commit or player is supposed to win every single award. LOL And if they don’t…..they ”got robbed”.

  • well the top 4 guys are all going to uk so one of them was going to win it.

    if zack peters was in it…i’m sure he would dominate

  • A couple years under Danny Mannings wings, im positive Zach will dominate. That is what good Coaches do, they develop their players and bring out the best in them.

  • funny that UK offered him a free ride (peters) Ask your coach how 3s feel at the end of the game.

  • I remember wildcatcat fans saying they wanted Zach Peters, now they bash him. But they do that to all recruits that don’t choose uk, or they say cal dropped interest in them. LOL

  • yeah….kind of like how ku fans say they don’t want shabazz. they don’t want those one and done types despite the fact that self recruits them hard.

    cal plays lots of games in recruiting. some coaches take the bait and run with it. when cal is on the recruiting trail….everyone wants to know where he is at and who he is looking at.

  • LOL You mean cal follows Bill Self and Co. around? Your funny guy, I choked on my Monster Energy Drink. Bill Self has made it to The Final Four with no Mcdonald’s All Americans, cal has barely made it to his first Final Four with how many number 1 recruiting classes. You do the math. haha Exactly….

  • yeah…we only beat up on 2 of the top big 12 teams to get to a final 4 this year. it would have been good to face some better competition but what can you do at this point. its back to back final fours. got to love that.

  • the sec is a basketball powerhouse right. i mean georgia and south carolina and lsu are dangerous. OH i forgot Auburn

    We always recruit the best baby. Your used car salesmen pays them or something cause he’s not that great of a coach. #Get a ring Calamari.

  • Thats right, cuz this kentucky team can beat up on numerous NBA Teams. LOL One must wonder why cal doesn’t win National Coach of The Year every single season. Everyone should just just quit showing up. haha

  • actually….KU pays their players too. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2225787

    big 12 (or whatever its down to these days) is a powerhouse. hard to beat teams like texas tech (8-23), texas a&m (14-18), oklahoma (15-16), oklahoma st (15-18). don’t let those HORRIBLE records fool you. just because they can’t win games, they are REALLY good teams.

  • i believe OU and OSU from the big 12 have played in some title games and been to final fours having a hard time seeing if auburn, sc, georgia have been there this century. KU is like the yankees. UK like the red sox. I am sure you beat it to booby v and calapari. LOSERS.

  • with 7 national titles and the most wins all time…i would say uk is like the yankees and ku is more like the phillies.

  • 3 or 4 of them should not count since you only let whitey play. It wasn’t until the blacks kicked your ass (texas somebody). They made a movie about it. Lot’s of racist history in your bitch ass program. That is why king whitey Christian Laetener?? broke your heart. what goes around comes around.

  • Somebody tell this fool kensucky hasn’t won a Title in 15 years. LOL Nothing like the Yankees, with the exception of boosters paying players’ fathers top dollar.

  • KU fans are becoming increasingly pathetic with their comments.
    I mean do you guys even read what you r typing? U talk about ZONA fans being obnoxious, but you guys take the cake. And just for the record I don’t like UK very much but historically they have a better program. More wins, FFs , and NC than KU. Sorry KU fans numbers don’t lie.

    Sad to see Danny go , but I’m sure self will find someone else to coach em up:(

  • This coming from a guys team that lost to Powerhouse Bucknell in the NIT. LOL And Legendary Larry Brown will be a Great replacement, I must say. =)

  • Rather lose to bucknell in a meaningless game than in the first round of the big dance.
    O the memories

  • Funny it dumb ass thinks Larry brown would come to KU as a assistant.
    Get a clue as usual. And good luck against the buckeyes saturday, bc game isn’t in Lawrence and big sully is gonna bully some bitches.
    Tough matchup since OSU has best big man in the game.

  • Wow!! Someone got their panties in a wad. LOL What a homer. Sorry, didn’t mean to make you cry son. I am suprised you even show your face after all that pre season talk you did about zona, and how much they sucked ass. HAHA Get a clue son. Nice one trying to fight your battles through other teams and players. LOL Have fun watching Kansas in the Final Four. hehe

  • bj go EAT CROW and enjoy it. haha

  • I will have fun watching KU OSU and UK Louisville.
    The question is will you enjoy the game?
    My money says you won’t and we all know how tough losses this time of year are.
    Wasn’t hyping zona preseason, was talking about there recruiting class and 2012-2013 season. And like I said before I thought Kansas would not be very good next year.

  • You thought wrong, you thought you were above us this year. YET YOU STILL SUCK!! SO EAT IT!! LOL You were all over their nutt sacks, must I go back to all your ridiculous comments. Either way, we are in the Final Four and getn that money. You and zona are not, so you don’t have to room to say anything to anybody. You got whupped in the NIT, yet were so sure you and the pac would get four teams dancing. LOL What a joke!!

  • You were hyping zona up bad and saying Kansas would suck, don’t try and front son. Its okay, just admit it that you were wrong.

  • Pull up the archives, you r wrong like usual.
    Who you think will win KU OSU game phog?

  • Great year by Kansas
    Horrible year for Arizona

    Who do you think will be better next year phog, Arizona or Kansas ?

  • Don’t answer now, let me know saturday night after your current season is over.

  • B-low J-ob is BUTT HURT. LOL Its okay son, sometimes you just have to accept the fact that you and zona are less than. haha

  • Arizona is way down hill since Lute left. I bet turner and ashley are pissed they didn’t come to KU. Opps I forgot about Angel chol.

    Kentucky we are coming for you. Hell of a task but we are coming for you. Your salami smelling used car salesmen of a coach is actually going to have to coach this game instead of just put his hands on his head and yell.

    KU way better than Uof A next year. Not even a question. Might not even beat UW for the pac 12 title.
