The NBA All-Star Saturday slam dunk contest has come to an end, and Magic G League star Mac McClung is the reigning champion for the third consecutive year. Nobody could stop him as he thrills the crowd with his incredible dunks, earning a perfect 50 score on each of his four attempts.
McClung started off strong with a powerful reverse dunk over a car, clearing the roof and securing his first perfect score. He then leapt over a human being on his second effort, leaving the audience in awe. His final dunk was a show-stopping slam over Cavaliers center Evan Mobley, kissed the rim, and threw it down with two hands.
McClung’s performance outshone that of his closest competitor, Spurs rookie Stephon Castle, who also scored a perfect 50 on his last attempt. Despite being the underdog in the contest, McClung dominated from start to finish, cementing his status as one of the most exciting players in the league.
The three-point contest also took place on Saturday, with Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro emerging victorious after defeating two-time champion Damian Lillard. Herro edged out Buddy Hield in the finals with a score of 24, solidifying his position as one of the top shooters in the game.
In other news, the Spurs duo of Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul were disqualified from the skills challenge due to unsportsmanlike conduct. The team was found to be trying to gain a time advantage by tossing balls off the rack instead of taking shots during the shooting portion.
