Mac McClung has appeared in just five NBA games during his career.Mac McClung Wins Third Consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contest with Spectacular Performance
Mac McClung electrified the crowd at NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, securing his third straight Slam Dunk Contest victory with a series of jaw-dropping dunks—including one over a car.
The 26-year-old, who has played just five minutes in a single NBA game this season for the Orlando Magic, received perfect 50-point scores for all four of his dunks.
In the first round, McClung soared over a car parked beneath the basket, grabbing the ball from a person holding it through the sunroof before finishing with a reverse dunk. His second dunk featured him leaping over a standing man while twisting mid-air.
For his third perfect score, McClung executed a double dunk—grabbing one ball from a man spinning on a hoverboard while simultaneously dunking another held by someone standing on a ladder.
He sealed the title by dunking over 6-foot-11 Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley, who was elevated on a small platform.
"Truly, stuff like this doesn’t happen without standing on the shoulders of a lot of people," McClung told TNT after defeating San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle in the final round. "I had a lot of help. People were opening gyms to fit a car in. People were allowing me to use their car. I’m just really grateful right now."
Despite his All-Star Weekend stardom, McClung primarily plays in the NBA’s developmental G League, where he was named MVP last season. His limited NBA experience includes just five career games across stints with the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and Orlando Magic.
