But he wasn’t the only one putting on a show. Rookie Stephon Castle came out strong with a 360 windmill , a clear tribute to the legendary Vince Carter. Meanwhile, Matas Buzelis struggled to complete his dunk, and Andre Jackson Jr. had a tough time getting his first few attempts to land. But once again, it was McClung who stole the spotlight with his creative and high-flying antics.
Speaking of legends, the NBA made sure to honor Vince Carter , one of the greatest dunkers of all time. If you remember the 2000 Dunk Contest , you know exactly why this moment was special. Seeing his legendary slams replayed on the big screen, with TNT’s Kenny Smith bringing back his iconic “It’s over!” call, was pure nostalgia.
And let’s not forget the other All-Star Weekend highlights — Tyler Herro took home the 3-point contest trophy in a close battle, denying Damian Lillard’s shot at a three-peat. Team Cavs won the Skills Challenge , but not without some controversy— Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama from Team Spurs got disqualified for what many called a “cheating” strategy. Yep, drama everywhere!
With all this excitement, the All-Star Weekend is proving once again why it's one of the most entertaining events in sports. The dunk contest delivered , as always, bringing us insane athleticism and unforgettable moments.
So, what do you think? Did Mac McClung just cement himself as one of the greatest dunkers in NBA history? Let’s hear it!
