First of all, Mac McClung won everybody over by finishing all four of his dunks on the first try. When was the last time anybody was able to do that? ClutchPoints shares each amazing dunk from the contest.

McClung is already well-known through social media as he’s been a high-flying dunker since his high school days.
However, his skills weren’t leading to anything exciting in the NBA until just recently. Even Steph Curry gave Mac McClung a shoutout after he won the dunk contest!
Appreciate you goat. The dream is the journey 🙏 https://t.co/HRSVzXn9HU
