    Mac had one of the top 10 highest vertical in the history of the combine, the fastest ¾ court sprint EVER in the history of the nba, MVP of the gleague and the the highest scorer, and none of these nba execs can see any of these indisputable data???

      Ladybird I honestly believe that the woke NBA doesn’t want a white guy from the southern Appalachians to come in and light up their so called superstars, and they see now that’s exactly what would happen. Hopefully some team’s front office will grow some balls and take a chance on him. A lot of people say he should go overseas, but with all the violence, and the state of the world today, I personally, and I’m sure most people who live here in Gate City would rather he stay here in the G League. He’s making a good living, and at least he’s safer here. It’s the NBA’s loss if they don’t sign him at some point. That’s just the father in me talking Mac is such a nice young man, I wouldn’t want to see get in a bad situation.

    (edit) 3:12 impossible shots like this really do speak to a truly gifted basketball player. His first step, picking up his dribble for a rim run starts just inside top of key, 2nd step just inside FT line, in traffic, and finishes with a right hand flip. Just the nerve to try a move like that is something. To pull it off is spectacular basketball.
    (edit 2) 6:38 for being right handed, his left also strong. Highly creative rim run, with an attack angle rarely seen for any player, let alone a guard. Left handed hook looked fluid and was shot with intent.

      whats racism ? The league mvp is a white guy. what are you even saying ? why are white ppl so irked about mcclung. Theres better white players in the nba like luka for one or bogie my personal favorite ..dude's lights out!. im seeing crazy comments in this thread about how he can be soo good and im not sayin he cant be, but he is undersized and not nearly as good as brunson, so what do you guys want? being mvp in the g league is still behind nba bench players ..Carlik jones was mvp 2022 and now he plays in china . i dont see black ppl having a hissy fit about this saying hes better than everyone in the nba because hes g leaue mvp and how he should be a starter.. such casuals here ..all race related. you dont know basketball

      also fans pay to see luka, lebron, steph, jokic, tatum, greek freak, durant etc.. franchise players . to get the keys , the go ahead , the green light , you must prove yourself first. thats it thats all. if mcclung was 3 inches talller, he would have already been in the nba. disgusting you guys make this about race ..
