Mac McClung dominated the NBA Slam Dunk Contest and fans couldn't believe what they saw
HELLO, MAC MCCLUNG!
On the biggest stage of NBA All-Star Weekend, it wasn’t your typical NBA player that stole the show during Saturday’s Slam Dunk Contest. It was 6-foot-2 NBA G League guard turned Philadelphia 76ers two-way player Mac McClung who put on a dazzling display for the crowd.
From the opening round on, it was very clear the contest was his to lose.
Despite Lisa Leslie’s questionable judgment of his dunks, he cruised to the championship round and then secured a victory over New Orleans Pelicans’ forward Trey Murphy III.
While the crowd at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City was electrified, so was the at-home crowd.
