Four-star small forward Jermaine O'Neal Jr., whose dad and coach at Dynamic Prep is former NBA player and 6-time All-Star, Jermaine O'Neal Sr., was featured in the video. The SMU signee revealed that he thinks he could win the dunk contest.

Five-star Chris Cenac Jr. of Link Academy was the next hooper featured in the video. He revealed that he felt he would be able to win the 3-Point Contest. Dynamic Prep's other SMU signee Jaden Toombs, meanwhile, said that he can win the skills challenge.

The last athlete featured in the video was four-star power forward Chris Nwuli, also from Dynamic Prep, who said that he believes he could win all three events. The forward also stated that he wanted the No. 1 prospect from the Class of 2025, AJ Dybantsa, to be his Rising Stars challenge teammate.

This past weekend, G-League star Mac McClung, who represented the Orlando Magic, won the Slam Dunk contest for the third year in a row, while Tyler Herro won the 3-Point Contest and prevented a Damian Lillard three-peat at the event. Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley won the Skills Challenge.
