The 540 was insane. Mac got it first try and stuck the landing. He nailed all of his dunks first try and didn't fall down but the 540 was a whole other level.

Once opon a time the NBA's stars would compete in the dunk contest and it was the highlight of the Allstar weekend this kid tore it up as a D leaguer also loved it
Fun fact: If Vince Carter says you’re a great dunker, you’re a great dunker. 👏🏻
I'm star-struck just watching Vince Carter speak. Twenty-two seasons of high caliber professional basketball from that man. Eight all-star appearances and two rings. Living legend.

When Vince Carter was drafted 5th I thought he would turn out to be a bust. I thought he was a great dunker at UNC but his game was not nearly complete enough to excel in the NBA. Obviously I'm not an NBA scout for a reason. People will always think of his dunks first but he was a very well-rounded player who not only was an 8-time All-Star but was able to keep playing into his early 40s.
When vince says it than its a stamp of approval!!!
Clearly the kid knows that's probably top 3 iconic moments in NBA dunk competition: I believe he was paying homage.
Vince makes a great point, Mac wanted to be in it and win it.
I don’t follow basketball but Mac is so amazing! He will go so far! And Vince is so cool and chill.

360*. Don’t even argue. Use pause and you clearly see he leaves his feet with his back to the basket and dunks with his back to the basket, that’s one rotation. The spin of the rim after the ball has been dunked means absolutely nothing, 360

Forget about overrated imports like Victor Wembanyama instead let’s focus on our very own, our fellow American Mac “McHungtime” McClung. He deserves this highlight and permanent NBA stay cause he earned it since his childhood days
Cheddar Bob did his thing. Nice
windmill reverse 360 😮😮😮
Nice.
Vince still looks the same as he did 23 years ago. That’s amazing
Bruh I was expecting a comment on the difficulty level of the dunks, like details on arm motion or how fast you have to spin etc
Give him some real playing time in the NBA, none of this quirky 10 day / two way contract BS. 20 minutes a game for a chunk of time and he’ll hold his own. Period.
I don’t agree with ja Morants behavior and he might not be stressed out but if he is the partying, drinking etc. are instant stress relievers. Just because it looks likes he is having fun on the outside doesn’t necessarily mean he is not dying in the inside.
Mac the only slam dunk contest winner that knows how to read. Very impressive
So excited for him, Ja Morant and the Best NBA dunking stars must participate next year, that will be epic if it happens.

Unfortunately his game doesn’t translate well on an NBA court. He’s been on Lakers organization, Warriors and now Philly in less than 2years. He’s too inefficient, not great handles/court vision, and too small defensively. Gotta have an NBA skill and unfortunately just dunking and creativity not gonna cut it. He has great character though hope he proves all of us wrong and comes back for next year dunk contest vs Zion!

McClung reminded me of my childhood playing NBA jam and NBA hangtime with the types of dunks he was doing. P.S. I'm still grudging about Aaron Gordon not winning twice in a row. Most entertaining contestant in the NBA dunk competition in my opinion.

Not really... Mac has a lot of talent with the ball in his hands for sure, but he doesn't defend that well and he isn't very good off-ball. Those are two things that are all but guaranteed to help a young player carve out a role off the bench, so not being good in those areas have been a big reason why he hasn't stuck on any one team. Just is what it is, but he's fun to watch no doubt
