![]() But among so much spectacularity, he, although excited, put his simplicity first. The Gate City player absorbed everything with his 'tricks' so much that no one will remember who the other Slam Dunk Contest participants were: Trey Murphy III (New Orleans Pelicans) as finalist and Jericho Sims (New York Knicks) and KJ Martin ( Houston Rockets) as the other players. Occurrences like climbing on top of others to crush the hoop, like doing the helicopter to reach 50 points up to three times. They were overwhelmed by the base's crazy ideas, so seductive, so captivating that you don't need to describe them all you have to do is look at the phrase “a picture is worth more than 1,000 words”. ![]() Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dwyane Wade made a precise definition with their petrified faces. McClung, stripped of any complex, drew mischievous stunts that impressed the NBA and will leave the world stunned as he wakes up today and falls in love with his dunks. ![]() He had no choice, given his meager 5 '1’’, a boy who was ‘just passing by’ after an NBA invitation that already made him the first player in the G-League (Delaware Blue Coats) to take part in the competition. The impressive thing was not only that he won, but also how, delivering absolutely amazing dunks. But the late boy just signed a two-way contract with the Sixers this week, focused on stealing the spotlight: he became the first G-League player to win the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. Just a week after turning 23, he didn’t make his NBA debut with the Bulls, and the Lakers didn’t want him either. Still fixed in the G-League, he was not drafted in 2021. When he came into the world as a Three Kings gift, on January 6, 1999, he had to wait for a few seconds of agony to find out how long he would live, his body all colored blue "like a Smurf" as his father described because the umbilical cord was wound up his neck. Mac McClung, with just 2 games and 25 minutes in the NBA at 24 years old, has always been a bit late in life.
