NBA All-Star Weekend: Mac McClung creates history in Slam Dunk Contest with third successive win

Mac McClung can lay claim to being the NBA’s all-time Slam Dunk Contest king, becoming the first man in history to snare three successive titles.

McClung registered perfect scores of 50 on all four of his slams, including soaring over a car, grabbing the ball from a friend poking out of the sunroof, and flushing it behind his head.

It was the statement slam on another superb night for the fringe NBA guard, who is part of Orlando’s roster but spends most of his time in the lower-level G-League.

.

McClung’s victory also included a slam where he flushed two ****** in the one motion, receiving one from an ally spinning on a hoverboard – a nod to former Magic big man Aaron Gordon from the 2016 event – and pushed down another being held on the edge of the rim.

The 26-year-old emulated the feat of Nate Robinson as a three-time Dunk Contest champion, but became the first to do it in three successive years. Michael Jordan, Jason Richardson, Zach LaVine and Robinson all achieved wins in back-to-back years.

After his triumph, McClung announced he would donate the car used in the contest to a foundation in his hometown of Gate City, Virginia.

Elsewhere on All-Star Saturday night in San Francisco, Miami’s Tyler Herro won the Three-Point Shootout after edging out Golden State’s hometown hero Buddy Hield, while Cleveland’s duo of Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley took out the Skills Challenge.
