  • Mac McClung is looking to take home his third Slam Dunk Contest trophy on Saturday night despite playing in just 5 NBA games in his career.

Mac McClung, a 24-year-old professional basketball player, has made a name for himself not through his NBA career but through his exceptional dunking skills, winning the NBA Slam Dunk Contest twice. Born in Gate City, Virginia, McClung's journey to fame began in high school where he was a standout athlete, earning accolades like Virginia's Gatorade Player of the Year. Despite his talent, his size (6-foot-2) and the perception of his athleticism led to him being under-recruited, eventually choosing to play college basketball at Georgetown before transferring to Texas Tech. His professional career has been modest, with brief stints in the NBA, including with the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls, and more time spent in the G-League. However, McClung's highlight reel dunks, including a notable one over Shaquille O'Neal, have captured the public's attention, making him a beloved figure in the basketball community for his dunking prowess rather than his on-court statistics.
