Mac McClung threw his own personal dynasty in NBA All-Star Weekend.
The guard, who has only played in a game for Orlando Magic during the regular season, took San Francisco by storm on Saturday and won his third consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contest. This is the first time every NBA player has won the event three times in a row.

The G League star had four perfect dunks that each scored a 50 mclung dipped over a car and over 6-foot-11 cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Evan MoBley. He defeated San Antonio Spurs Guard Stephon Castle to preserve his championship.
“It feels kind of like a blur,” he said. “That’s something I love to do. That’s where my creativity comes from. I really love this competition and I love to dunk.”
McClung, who plays for the OSCEOLA magic in G League, is the second downer to win the competition three times. Nate Robinson won in 2006 and then again in 2009 and 2010.

“I think the competition is a beautiful thing,” McClung said. “I know people are likely to have bigger stars in it and I would very much like to see it. I think it’s important for the people in wanting to do it …. this competition is a special thing. We love all that. “
McClung’s performance triggered reactions from Memphis Grizzlies -Star Ja Morant and Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“Mac may make me decide to dunk,” Morant wrote on X.
“If you do. I will do it with you,” added AntetocounMpo.
McClung has only five NBA games under the belt. He has played for Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers beyond the magic.
He said he was preparing for the competition for almost nine months and is not sure if he goes to a fourth title.
