Mac McClung’s Slam Dunk Contest exploits have impressed those who play in, as well as follow and cover the NBA.
One week after the Kansas City Chiefs failed to finish their three-peat bid, losing Super Bowl LIX, McClung closed his three-peat out. McClung, who plays for the Osceola Magic, the G-League affiliate or the Orlando Magic, capped off his three-peat bid by leaping over Evan Mobley, who was holding the ball, touching the ball against the rim and stuffed it home with two hands.
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant shared that McClung “might make me decide to dunk.”
ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins proclaimed McClung as “one of the Greatest Dunkers of All-Time.”
Others offered similar praise.
