Mac McClung, a standout guard in the G League, is aiming to become the first person in three consecutive years to win the NBA's dunk contest. After winning the title in 2023, he's returning to All-Star weekend with renewed confidence and a desire to cement his legacy as one of the league's greatest dunkers.

The 6-foot-2 McClung — a standout guard in the G League who has appeared in only five NBA games — is headed back to All-Star weekend, looking to become the first person to win the league’s dunk title in three consecutive years. Nate Robinson is the only three-time dunk champion, though his didn’t come in back-to-back-to-back years.
His five NBA games have come with four NBA teams — one with Chicago, one with the Los Angeles Lakers, two with Philadelphia and one with Orlando. He has scored 33 points in those games, 20 coming in one contest with the 76ers at Brooklyn on April 9, 2023.“The easy answer is opportunity,” McClung said. “It’s not just Mac McClung. There’s a lot of G League guys that can play in the league.
“I take pride in the G League,” McClung said. “Each year it’s so hard because when you’re on a two-way people are like ‘Be ready, stay ready.’ But I’m trying to win in the G League. That’s important to me. Winning a championship is always the standard and hopefully we can do that this year in Osceola and apply even more pressure.”
