Mac McClung has heard the NBA stars talk about their desire to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest next year, and he's all for it. Speaking to TMZ Sports, McClung said the Dunk Contest "deserves" players like Ja Morant,

We just completed an interesting All-Star Weekend! We had a Saturday night of Skills Challenge contestants getting disqualified, 3-point shooting displays from new champ Tyler Herro and Mac McClung winning his third straight Slam Dunk Contest crown.

About a year ago at this time, Mac McClung thought his dunk contest days were done. He’d been in the contest at the NBA’s All-Star weekend twice, won it both times

Mac McClung, who plays in the Orlando Magic organization, won his third consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night in San Francisco.

The G League player electrified viewers with his third straight slam dunk contest title, standing out amid increasing All-Star Weekend apathy from the sport’s biggest stars.

McClung captured the crowd with each dunk, and won the competition for the third straight year. That he’s not a star shouldn’t be a factor.

While his first two jams in Saturday's Dunk Contest left a bit to be desired, his second two were spectacular. Dunk No. 3 was one we've never seen before, as Castle caught the ball through the net and went between the legs.

Following his historic third straight NBA Dunk Contest victory on Saturday, Mac McClung donated the car he used in his second dunk to a foundation in his hometown of Gate City, Virginia, per Shams Charania.

Miami's Tyler Herro edged out Golden State's Buddy Hield to win the 3-point contest at the NBA's All-Star Saturday night in San Francisco.

Mac McClung earned a perfect score on all four of his dunk attempts to seal his third straight dunk contest victory.

McClung, who playes for the Osceola Magic, has as many dunk contest wins in his career as he does dunks in NBA games, according to Sportradar.
