Mac McClung forged his own personal dynasty during the NBA All-Star weekend.
The Guard, which has only played in a game for Orlando Magic during the regular season, took San Francisco by assault on Saturday and won his third consecutive NBA Slam Dunk contest. It is the first time that any NBA player won the event three times in a row.

The star of the g league had four perfect overturns, each scoring a 50. McClung submerged over a car and more than 6 feet 11 inches of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Evan Mobley. He defeated the guard of the San Antonio Spurs Stephon Castle to maintain his championship.
“He feels like a blur,” he said. “It’s something I love doing. From there comes my creativity. I really love this contest and I love to immerse myself.”
McClung, who plays for Osceola’s magic in Giria G, is the second Dunker to win the contest three times. Nate Robinson won in 2006 and then again in 2009 and 2010.
The NBA All-Star Draymond Green says that the games are ‘boring’, they have no ‘non-substance’

“I think the contest is somewhat beautiful,” McClung said. “I know that people probably want bigger stars and I would love to see that. I think it is important that people in it want to do it … This contest is something special. We all love.”
McClung’s performance caused reactions of Memphis Grizzlies, Ja Morant and the Milwaukee Bucks star, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“Mac could make me decide to immerse,” Morant wrote in X.
“If you do. I will do it with you,” Antetokounmpo added.
McClung only has five NBA games to his credit. He has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, in addition to magic.
He said he prepared for the contest for almost nine months and is not sure if he will go for a fourth title.
