The 2025 AT&T Slam Dunk Contest showcased exhilarating performances, yet Milwaukee Bucks' Andre Jackson Jr. faced a tough outing, leading to his elimination. Known for his dynamic dunks, Jackson entered with high expectations but struggled significantly, finishing with a disappointing score of 88.8 after missing multiple attempts. His inability to connect with the passer was a key issue, drawing commentary from teammates, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, who humorously lamented his passing skills.

This was Jackson's first Dunk Contest, while Antetokounmpo had previously participated but failed to advance in 2018. Despite the early exit, Jackson's potential as a player remains strong, evidenced by his impactful plays this season despite low averages. The contest ended with Mac McClung achieving a historic three-peat, further solidifying the event's legacy.
