Mac McClung returns to NBA slam dunk contest eyeing 3-peat
Reigning two-time NBA slam dunk contest champion Mac McClung will compete in this year’s event at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, sources tell ESPN.
McClung, who signed a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic in October, will look to claim the first dunk contest three-peat.
The return of McClung means the four-man field is set. McClung will compete against San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle, Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis and Milwaukee Bucks second-year player Andre Jackson Jr.
The 6-foot-2 McClung dunked over 7-foot-1 Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal last year in Indianapolis to become the fifth player in NBA history to win back-to-back dunk contests.
No player has ever won three consecutive dunk contests, though Nate Robinson is a three-time champion.
A guard, McClung led the G League in scoring with 25.7 points per game in 2023-24, and was named G League MVP for the Osceola Magic.
McClung, 26, played collegiately for Georgetown and Texas Tech.
After making a splash in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest for the past two years, Mac McClung is officially making his return to the competition, looking to secure a historic 3-peat victory.
The high-flying guard has wowed fans and judges alike with his jaw-dropping dunks, showcasing his incredible athleticism and creativity in the air. From windmill jams to between-the-legs slams, McClung has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the dunk contest.
With his sights set on becoming the first player in recent memory to win three consecutive dunk contests, McClung is preparing to bring his A-game to the court once again. Fans can expect nothing short of electrifying performances and mind-blowing dunks from the talented young player.
Will Mac McClung be able to make history and secure a 3-peat victory in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest? Stay tuned to find out as the competition heats up and the high-flying action unfolds.
