- Bounce Like Mac. If you’ve ever wondered how Mac McClung defies gravity, it all started when he was just seven. His go-to drills? Quick feet on a tire, lateral shuffles over a box, and single-leg hops. Basically, he’s been training to fly since before most kids learned multiplication.
- Don’t let the highlight reels fool you – Mac isn’t just about dunking. He was named 2021-22 G League Rookie of the Year and took home the 2024 G League MVP, proving his game is just as strong as his hops.
- Mac officially made history by becoming the first player EVER to three-peat the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. With four perfect-score dunks, he now has as many Dunk Contest trophies as NBA games played in the last three seasons – legendary!
- Dunks Pay the Bills. Mac’s Dunk Contest prize money actually surpasses his NBA earnings! He’s made $310,000 from dunking alone, while his NBA salary sits at $132,000. If dunking was a full-time job, he’d be CEO.
- Certified Bucket. Before the NBA, Mac was Virginia’s all-time leading high school scorer, dominated at Georgetown, and racked up BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honors twice. He’s been a walking highlight reel long before the league took notice.
