For the last few years, we have had fans as well as many within NBA circles point to how the Dunk Contest has lost its spark. The big stars have stopped taking part in them and it just isn’t all that exciting anymore, with the 3-point contest taking center stage.
When the names were announced for this year’s dunk contest, it hardly led to a great deal of interest. There were again no stars, which was pointed to as the biggest problem by Kevin Durant, as we got KJ Martin, Jericho Sims, Trey Murphy III, and lastly Mac McClung, who wasn’t even on an NBA roster at the time.
Many were expecting another dud like the ones we have seen in recent years, but McClung certainly had other ideas, as he delivered one of the greatest dunks in the history of the contest.
NBA Fans React To Mac McClung’s Insane Dunk
McClung, who became the first G League player to ever be called up for the contest, may have just turned himself into a household name with a dunk for the ages. He leaped over two people, then touched the backboard before the slam.
MAC MF MCCLUNG. 🔥🔥🔥

NBA fans were left stunned and they were full of praise for McClung.
“I ain’t even realize he hit the glass I WAS SHOOK HOLY SH** “
“Top 5 dunk contest dunks of all time”
“LETS GO HOME”
“Mac McClung deserves to win the dunk contest. BANG!”
” rly stop the contest now”
“cold af”
“that’s crazy ngl”
“Best dunk in the last 5 years”
“He really boutta save the dunk contest”
“Bro different”
“I don’t wanna hear that ‘aw where are the stars?? We letting gleaguers in the dunk contest now??’ ever again”
“Na that was too sick! “
“I guess the contest is over. That’s the best dunk since Aaron Gordon dunked off a spinning mascot”
“HE’S HIM!!!! been known”
“The dunk contest is back”
“Best one in years”
“That’s absolutely impressive “
“Best dunk since Gordon and Lavine”
That was truly insane and who would have thought that McClung could be the one to revive the dunk contest? As fans pointed out, this is probably the best dunk we have seen since Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine went at it in that legendary contest in 2016.
