Shortly before the All-Star break, the Philadelphia 76ers signed Mac McClung out of the G League to a two-way deal. The young man out of Texas Tech was performing well for the team’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, and the Sixers decided to give him a clearer path to the NBA.
McClung went out and put on a show over All-Star Weekend in Utah, taking home the slam dunk contest title. He had four dunks; three scored a perfect 50. He did all on just one attempt. He drew praise from new teammate Tyrese Maxey as well as NBA superstar LeBron James for his performance.
McClung now turns his attention back to real basketball, and he was a guest on “The John Kincade Show.”
