Mac McClung and Jaylen Brown weren't the only ones representing the G League and Boston Celtics, respectively, in a dunk contest on All-Star Saturday.

Maine Celtics guard Jordan Jackson won the G League dunk contest while paying homage to his mom, WNBA icon Sheryl Swoopes.

Swoopes, a four-time WNBA champion and six-time WNBA All-Star, was the first player to sign with the league. She spent most of her 12-year tenure with the Houston Comets. She also had one-year stints with the Seattle Storm and Tulsa Shock. Swoopes is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2016.
