Who is Mac McClung, the first-ever G League player in the NBA dunk contest? He is your newest NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion.
McClung, who recently signed a two-way deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, took home the honors after an impressive performance. He beat out Pelicans forward Trey Murphy, Houston’s KJ Martin, and New York’s Jericho Sims.
Although he has recorded just one dunk so far during his NBA career, he threw down the slams when they mattered most — including a 540!
His name will now be etched in the history books alongside greats like Vince Carter, Michael Jordan, and Dominique Wilkins. That’s not bad company for an undrafted free agent!
Here were the best photos of the night before McClung was crowned champ:
