“Mac McClung Finished Dunk Contest With His First Dunk!”: NBA Twitter Lauds Sixers’ New Signing For Sensational Dunk Contest Opener

Mac McClung is making NBA fans worldwide sit up and take notice of his insane hops via his performance in tonight’s Dunk Contest.

NBA fans have been complaining about bland dunks in the Dunk Contest ever since Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine set the world afire with their faceoff in 2016.

Things came to a head with 2 extremely forgettable dunk contests held in 2021 and 2022. Anfernee Simons and Obi Toppin took home the trophies, but it felt like there were no winners.

Even the faceoff between Derrick Jones Jr and Aaron Gordon in 2020 had some pretty good moments. However, Dwyane Wade left a bad taste in everyone’s mouths with his partiality. He gave Gordon 9s on some amazing dunks to ensure that Jones Jr took home the trophy.
