You mean he's never tried them in front of a crowd. He talked about he and his teammates working on dunks as soon as he got the invite. No way he hadn't tried them before.
Every time he gets a chance to play in the NBA he does well, then they put him back in the G League. It's sad to see but I hope he stays with it. He's a good scorer and a pretty good passer not to mention a good ball handler. He's definitely a bench guy, but I could see him developing into a real scoring threat and someone who can cause some chaos for the other team's defense since he can block shots and crash the boards.
@@muddywood no he has a 33 inch vertical and again not impressive like you guys are acting like. The best dunk contest where Nique vs Jordan and Levine vs Gordon just to clarify!
@@PathtoYahawahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tf are you even saying lmao. Learn how vertical works, hes a 6’2 dude with the head almost at the rim, and he literally had a 43 inch vert MEASURED pre draft
Brent Barry's dad is Rick Barry who was a Hall Of Fame player. Rick used to shoot his free throws underhanded. It was silly looking but he was pretty accurate with a career 90% percentage.
Wilt Chamberlain also shoot underhand shooting form too. He was so bad with freethrows using overhand shooting, that he needs to change his shooting style.
He averaged 89.3%, but half of the years he played he averaged over 90%. He’s 8th all time in career ft% and he’s the oldest player in the top 10. Free throws are a part of the game that didn’t age or change. Don’t matter what the form is, a pure shot is a pure shot. Gotta respect it.
My man Mac said he practiced for a month and a half straight for this contest. Held back at least 5 dunks. Kept the no look in reserve. He knew he could elevate himself to the NBA with a good performance. Crushed it.
All four dunks at a crazy hard level on the first try flawlessly. This is not only a commentary on his athleticism but also his ability to focus under immense pressure.
I remember being at my dad's house as a kid watching the dunk contest Kobe won in 1997, I think, and my dad as a lifelong Lakers fan saying "it's a dunk contest but this kid is going to be a star." I have my doubts Mac is going to be a force in the NBA like that, but it's cool to see a young man make his mark in life winning something so cool. No matter anything, he can hold onto something like that forever. Hopefully he becomes a star in his own right.
He was actually named G league rookie of the year last year and just signed a shoe deal with Puma a few days ago. You should do a reaction to some of his high school highlights.
There is no way he is 6’2 as well. He is for sure 6’1 tops most likely 6. Which is even more mind blowing. I know it says he is 6’2 , but look at him next to the nba guys
I got addicted to watching his high school highlights. Y'all need to check out the videos of him in high school and watch him just wreck everyone around him.
I’m from gate city. Used to go watch him play in high school. The energy in that building when Mac played was unreal! We knew he was special. So glad the world is seeing it
I remember a dunk contest where Jordan kilganon blew Shaq and Gary Payton's mind he was dunking in skinny jeans. Especially when he dunked over a car and I'm not talking about Blake Griffin did in his weak attempt because Jordan actually went over the highest part of the car
What makes Mac even crazier is he literally looks like the dude who is dropping your pizza off Friday night in high school and then winning the dunk contest on Saturday. That is awesome
I still remember when he played against my high school my senior year, he was the most hyped player anywhere around my area lmao. The whole place was absolutely packed to watch him play
JRich was a beast in the dunk contest. One of my all-time favorites. I'm a sucker for a windmill dunk and he did some of the best windmills. He was short like Mac is so it made them even more impressive. I gotta go watch his dunks again
Mac is from my hometown area. I used to go watch him play at gate city high school in Virginia. That boy can do it all. We knew he was special! Glad the world is catching on!
Mac's high school highlights put "Ball is Life" on the map !💯 He also broke all of Moses Malone's and Allen Iverson's high school records in Virginia on his way to the State Championship..🤯 EastBays in high school aint too shabby either..
I appreciate you guys covering the highlights for this. Legendary performance! You guys are my TOP 5 YT channels that I look out for. I check for new posts from you guys if not every day? At least every Other day! Love your channel & love all you guys character & personalities. Y'all some REAL ONES! NO Cap 🧢! Authentic & Genuine.
You guys are awesome. And... was young when I saw David Thompson play his first pro game (Denver). Was preseason. Came off the bench. Played the Supersonics. I will never ever forget, people were buzzing about his being signed to Denver. He ended up guarding Downtown Freddie Brown. Dude went to take an outside shot and the whole place froze. Did we just fuggin' see that? Then the whole place blew up with cheering. Thompson jumped out of nowhere and slapped the ball out of the court, up into the stands. Damn man... dude could skywalk. Which is where he got the name. Skywalker. We've got some skywalkers in history for sure. This McClung dude... who knows if he will stick in the pros. But damn, no question dude is a skywalker.
I figured him for 6'3" but Google confirmed him at 6'1" Amazing athleticism! Mac McClure, if he stays healthy, will be a legend. A shocked Shaq was the highlight of this reel.
I really like Mac. Watching him since high school. Broke A I's high school scoring record. Can shoot, penetrate defenses, pass well, and has great basketball iq.
@@Peamont they also forget he's not very tall either. He's got mad hops for a guy that's 6'2". Plus he almost didn't make through birth. Everyone is sleeping on him. And all the teams that he played for in the G league are gonna have major regrets. Mac all day!
He's only 6'2" and yet every dunk was: * Completed on the first try with zero hesitation, speed, and flash! * Two-handed with his head near the rim, and, * He barely even brushed against the people he jumped over! IMHO... This was the GOAT dunk contest performance in NBA history!
Gate City is in the middle of nowhere mountains of Southwest Virginia which is why no one has ever heard of it. Macs high school games were so hype you could barely fit in the gym. We went to different high schools in the same area, but it’s pretty awesome seeing someone from a small town make it big.
That’s why it’s Mac history month. Let’s all celebrate. BTW Brett Barry won with his warm ups on. Tom Chambers owns one of the top in game dunks of all time.
Nice that you mentioned Carsen Edwards..that cat tore it up at Purdue..I am one of 3 Boilermakers in my family..He is now playing in Turkey ...these guys make some real cash over there..glad to see this guy still doing it..
My HS alma mater- Marion- plays Mac's- Gate City- every year, and has for 60+ years... they are about 45 minutes away from here in Marion, VA and they are always a tough draw. I've been watching Mac for the past 6 years. You won't find a tougher player or harder worker. He deserves a standard NBA contract, he has outgrown the G League.
Hi! I just discovered you guys a few days ago and you're just so damn charming! I'm a 53 year old Canadian woman who gets a kick out of pretending I'm hanging out with you watching videos 😂. Thanks!

brent barry's dad, Rick Barry was one of the best nba players to ever play the game. He came from the Oakland Oaks of the ABA and in 1975 helped The Warriors win their first nba championship. The whole family is basketball royalty...
Everyone knew he had hops, but this still blew me away. If he played in the 90's he would be a star with that athleticism. Today's game is so skillful you have to be way more than just a freak athlete to get in the league.
Just found your channel and enjoying watching y’all’s reactions. Subscriber #440,000 ish as of 2/21/23. Down to earth and wholesome (slang for “normal”)…Nice to see real people with morals and good rhythm too! Thank you and God bless!
For some reason I thought Rex Chapman, Charlotte Hornets, won the slam dunk contest. He competed twice, '90 and '91, but he never won, just competed and came close to winning.
yea he was pretty good in high school in Virginia. he set the all state record for Virginia for scoring passing Alan Iverson for the title and could dunk a little too lol, I watched a lot of his high school games and as a senior he led his team to the state title.
Put some respect on Brent Barry’s name.
My man...
And Rex Chapman!!!.....nope. should have, maybe. 🤷🏿♂️
Won a title with the Spurs!
@@ascendingkeyzbeats7446 Chapman won the dunk contest?!?! How do I not remember this?!?!

The fact that he even tried those four dunks and made them all first try…just happy for the kid and happy for all of us bc that performance was 🔥

His dad, the great Rick Barry. Old school NBA, from way back in the 1960s, 70s.
He’s a freak of nature. He dunked a lot in high school and people called him overrated. Here he is winning the NBA slam dunk contest. 👍
We just gonna forget about Brent Barry? Dude dunked from the free throw line.
No need to make up lies.

* Completed on the first try with zero hesitation, speed, and flash!
* Two-handed with his head near the rim, and,
* He barely even brushed against the people he jumped over!
IMHO... This was the GOAT dunk contest performance in NBA history!
still think that vinsanity was the best, but this performance is top 5 for sure
I've seen Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Gale Goodrich, Magic and Kobe play for Lakers. David Robinson "The Admiral" play, awesome!!!😍😍
Is Mac actually 6'2"? He looks smaller than that standing next to all of the competition.
It feels like none of the players care about the dunk contest anymore, I’m glad to see somebody put thought and effort into it.
Keep in mind he's 6'1... Unlike these other dudes.
And more importantly has a short wingspan possibly under 6ft
Mac is an all around good player is what gets me. He can do it all.
Brent Barry 1st 🎉
Jose Alverado is nicer than anybody you know 😂
A fun person to watch is Pistol Pete Maravich and his lucky socks. 😁
The crazy thing is mac would make those dunks when he was still in high school.
Can you guys react to dog vs cat rap battle its really good
I love those vids
Great job you guys I really enjoyed this reaction!!!!!

Brent Barry was a beast for the Spurs. You probably seen him on Open Court etc. but he has different hair and looks quite different.
Not only were his dunks sick, but he didn't miss a single dunk. Didn't need a 2nd attempt on any of them.
Yeah, really sick of dudes taking 20 minutes and 15 attempts to complete a dunk - and then STILL miss.
Nice that you mentioned Carsen Edwards..that cat tore it up at Purdue..I am one of 3 Boilermakers in my family..He is now playing in Turkey ...these guys make some real cash over there..glad to see this guy still doing it..
