Good on Ballislife for dropping a dunk mixtape after him winning the contest so people can actually see Mac been doing this. His work ethic is insane and I hope to see more people rooting for him. I know 90% of us in here have been since day 1.
I appreciate this mixtape. Just heard about him tonight for the first time on overnight news. Came here and wanted to watch a bunch of his dunks in one spot so this mixtape worked out very well.
@@stonedog23 well yeah thats why i said good on Ballislife for redropping a dunk mixtape because believe it or not there are people who were like "who tf is this kid" and now they can see grind since day 1.
Well, I've been watching the NBA since the late 70's, never heard of the dude until the Sixers signed him. Most people don't stumble across UA-cam channels featuring high school ballers like this one. I honestly don't care about players in any sport until they reach the pro level. The worst player on any pro sports team was the best player on every other team he ever played on. I'm glad my Sixers got him though for sure.
Real ones know Mac BEEN have bounce, from his beginning sensation to now winning the Dunk Contest. Ballislife..thank you for your incredible content over the years 💯🏀 #️⃣0️⃣
Yessir! I've been watching him since high school and this was some of the footage I watched, and some of the dunks he hasn't even tried yet & he admitted that there were four that he still had in his bag, so now there's a great anticipation for the next years dunk contest which he said he would participate in as well
Yeah, you should find/peep the video out there where he's showing his workout regimen with his dad. Then you can see clearly how he does what he does. Playing in games was like a kid at recess in comparison! What hard work do!
People were criticizing him being in it because he's not an allstar and coming from the G league. But I believe him being invited has to be him being a known dunker from highschool. He saved the dunk contest. I haven't went back to watch a dunk contest other than the '16 duo with Lavine and Gordon. And now I'm going back just to see Mcclungs dunks
If people want to get upset with anyone, it should be the actual allstars who can't be bothered to show up for the dunk contest. If the Ja Morants of the world aren't going to do it , the NBA might as well find g league guys who will.
They don't have all stars in the dunk contest very often. It's usually solid starters who are very athletic and young. All stars used to be in the dunk contest all the time back in the 80s and 90s but not so much anymore. Vince Carter was around the last of the era of superstars being in the contest. Lebron, Westbrook and a lot of other guys have dodged it for years. Bron teased that he might but never did.
@@user-gm4kv2my4u spot on. It's really disappointing that stars stopped participating after Vince Carter and Dwight Howard. It would have been fun to watch Lebron or Westbrook. I think some of them are in game dunkers and maybe can't get too creative in a contest. If Ja Morant never ends up participating in a dunk contest it would be a slap in the face to the contest if the leagues most athletic stars won't participate.
Always watching Mac play, since Gate City, Georgetown, Texas Tech, Lakers, Bulls, Warriors, and now 76ers, hope he gets a roster spot soon, he won't disappoint...
This channel dropping receipts to let people know he's been doing this for some time. I just learned about this guy during the dunk contest. In this video I'm getting 90's throw back energy from him. Like prime Latrell Sprewell, Steve Francis and others. Even some Dominique Wilkins from the 80's.
What amazes me is that he’s short with short arms, so you know he’s got to jump insanely to finish those crazy dunks. To do 01:45 with short arms is incredible!
Yeah, he has a 7'10" standing reach which is way below average for his height. I'm 5'8 with 7'7" reach and this really inspires me to dunk in game and not just in prac
I have been watching this kid for a long time. I thought he would've had an NBA contract years ago. But hopefully, he really gets in the league with a great contract.
As a Golden State Warrior's fan, it hurts to the bone knowing he went to Philly while he could easily fullfill the GP II role in the team. Full respect for GPII but is hard not to think about it...
This dude is a clear example why 90’s basketball was and will always be the GOAT era. You saw this out of teams on a nightly basis . No brick 3’s all stuff’n it 🎉
He belongs on an NBA roster and not just because of his sick dunks. He's a good change of pace off the bench who could give a team some decent minutes as a backup PG and scrappy defender.
Bro NOBODY in our region, division or state class was stopping us that year. I think we lost a game or 2 but we won the state title for the 1st time ever after reaching the ship twice before. It was amazing.
No chest thumping. No self adulation. No taunting. Just great athleticism and timing. Need more of this in the NBA. Great to see a young guy with quiet confidence.
@@Coco-qz7fn No need to lie. He only did that a handful of times. Plus it's basketball so defenders can get disrespectful so you gotta let them know sometimes and shut them up. One of them literally pushed him in the air but he still finished the dunk plus the foul. Pushing an opponent who's in the air is a punk thing to do.
I think he did revive it because nobody but fans from his high school or college new he'd crush it in the NBA dunk competition and he's part of an elite group under 6'4". Impressive for a guy non drafted by the NBA and the only G-leaguer to win that competition.
Was always impressed with his reverse, probably one of the few people at his level that doesn’t need multiple reps. It just seems like he can take off from anywhere and land it when he doesn’t get full extension. What I didn’t know about was his baseline with two hands, max height and full extension.
Boy can shoot now too and dish the rock. He was top 5 in assist in 2021 on the gleague and this season he’s shooting 50% from 3…dude deserves a shot, but his defense is still bad lol
If I was him I’d be sending #1 a Rolex, new car or something for all them alleys….he put on HS Jersey in dunk contest so he probably has sent some love back home
Gate City had some crazy talent for being such a small town high school. You had McClung who set every VA state record his senior year. He graduated and then his teammate Zach Ervin scored over 2k points and won VA state player of the year and has now played 5 years at Elon. Then he graduated and Bradley Dean scored over 2k points and was VA State player of the year and now he’s playing D1 at Miami (OH). That’s insane.
This is what I say when people try to say Bronny isn't that good because he also did this and is only a little taller than Mac....in game eastbays in high school is NOT normal.
This dude definitely had Jordan’s “Come Fly With Me” dvd’s on repeat when he was growing up, cuz he’s got that smooth motion drivin thru opponents on his way to the basket, switichin hands in the air, just like MJ….Lmao it’s hilarious watchin the other teams tryin to find someone who can guard him…
I've been watching this kid since his HS days. Mac has always been exciting to watch his leaping abilities in amazing. His agility and creativity on his dunks are very impressive. He alone made the 2023 nba slam dunk contest fun to watch. I'm hoping they bring him back this season, too. I don't think he can be beating except maybe by Ja Morant maybe, but still doubtful.
Never heard of Mac prior to the dunk contest. I think it would be fair to say that he might've brought some attention to himself. Dude got skills. I'm impressed.👀
I was shocked how confident he was during the dunk contest and now I know why. Dude been doing this forever.
You're so right. Dude is killing it
Yep, been watching this cat ball since his sophomore year in Gate City. I was like, pssstttt, just Mac being Mac! lol 😅
huge hops
Money the reason... dont get it twisted. Good for them.
@@tima.478 Bro you sound like lebron with those lies
Good on Ballislife for dropping a dunk mixtape after him winning the contest so people can actually see Mac been doing this. His work ethic is insane and I hope to see more people rooting for him. I know 90% of us in here have been since day 1.
Most people in the know saw his viral high school package ages ago and this isn’t new to us.
Facts
I appreciate this mixtape. Just heard about him tonight for the first time on overnight news. Came here and wanted to watch a bunch of his dunks in one spot so this mixtape worked out very well.
Facts. Always wondered why he wasn’t already in the NBA long time ago
@@stonedog23 well yeah thats why i said good on Ballislife for redropping a dunk mixtape because believe it or not there are people who were like "who tf is this kid" and now they can see grind since day 1.
So many news articles calling Mac an NBA unknown. There's probably a lot of fans who would say otherwise. So good to see his hard work pay off.
He is in the nba world but for guys like me and you and countless others not so much
He's definitely not an unknown I've been watching him on UA-cam since high school I'm pretty sure many basketball fans have seen him
Obviously the articles cater to the casual fan
Nobody ever heard of this guy until last weekend 🤣
Well, I've been watching the NBA since the late 70's, never heard of the dude until the Sixers signed him.

Let's not overlook his teammates with those sick passes
Yessss this team had an excellent dynamic. Especially knowing exactly where the chaser was!
Was just thinking that. Imagine being his teammate you already knew what he could do
Yeah that one guy threw him all the oops he’s cold
Yea they were incredible 🔥
Nah all I saw was McClung passing it to himself lol
Real ones know Mac BEEN have bounce, from his beginning sensation to now winning the Dunk Contest. Ballislife..thank you for your incredible content over the years 💯🏀 #️⃣0️⃣

On everything 💯💯
my man
As a 24yr old whom graduated in 2015 I feel old seeing ppl my age succeed Congrats Mac keep them legs fresh 💪🏾💯
I went to school with girl who made it on CNN as reporter. I know the feeling
@@jeromeharrison7450 it’s good to see our generation doing great in life
You're nowhere near old lol
@@drphot6050 I was 16 in 12 so I kinda feel old
Wait till you're 50 and they and their sons have all retired.
His dunking enthusiasm really paid off. Mac gave all of us a dunk contest we've been waiting for.
Mac's not just a dunker. He's a rounded basketball player. He's got pretty tight handles.
Yeah, you should find/peep the video out there where he's showing his workout regimen with his dad. Then you can see clearly how he does what he does. Playing in games was like a kid at recess in comparison! What hard work do!

Same here. After they robbed Gordon not once but TWICE I was done with the dunk contest. McClung made it worthwhile.
If people want to get upset with anyone, it should be the actual allstars who can't be bothered to show up for the dunk contest. If the Ja Morants of the world aren't going to do it , the NBA might as well find g league guys who will.
@@user-gm4kv2my4u I think once the all stars started getting robbed (Gordon) they stopped lol

Mad props to this young man... his hops are crazy... hope he has a great career in the NBA
his bounce was always crazy
literally
Always watching Mac play, since Gate City, Georgetown, Texas Tech, Lakers, Bulls, Warriors, and now 76ers, hope he gets a roster spot soon, he won't disappoint...
I see what yall did there 💪🏾. Reel em in with the dunks then show him getting to it at the end. I love it. Great vid
Perfect example of stay down, work hard until it's yo time

The dude's only 6'2.... how?!!!.. I also love the kids' reactions, so pure hahaha
He just became my favourite player to root for. Wish him all the best in the nba!
We been knowing this dude a beast!! He deserves some of the spotlight!
This is incredible! This kid is a special and breathtaking basketball talent. Whoever says otherwise is either ignorant or jealous of his abilities.

@@Oak_Rocket bench player 😂
This is impressive. Insane athleticism. He does it so effortlessly,it looks like the rim is lower than normal.
Been watching him for years. So glad he got this shine. Hope he gets some shine in the league
You would Love to know that Mac just won his 1st NBA Slam Dunk Title last saturday at the Allstar Game 😁🏆
He basically SAVED the dunk contest that dunk contest was awesome🔥
Shout out to whoever wore #1 for Gate City...some sick passes. Some of those plays were poetry in motion.

@@mosequea8522 Good thing defense doesn’t matter in the nba lol

The reaction on the kids alone is enough to get this guy a shoe deal🔥
Been a fan of him since his high school days so I been knowing bout him happy that casual b ball fans are finally knowing him now
So why nobody knows him? He played like this?
@@HenryBenaid casual don’t know him duhh
Well casuals and pros know him now lol bc they didn't b4 last night either
Real hoopers been on Mac glad the world finally seeing this kid. He’s been him since hs
Exactly!
Man, how cool it must have been to have your entire community show up and you show out, for them. He repped the "ish" out of that situation.
We been watching him since high school, they acting like we forgot. He definitely deserves to be on an NBA team
Looks kind of like a mini-Zion mix tape. This dude has major hops that's been underappreciated until now!
Also Respect to that guy, always throwing alley-oop on him 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Just imagine being signed by a NBA team from the G League, get an invite to the dunk contest....and then win it....
2:12 There reactions 😂😂
I’m 6 foot 5 and I could just barely dunk in high school, nothing fancy…. But this! This is impressive af!
0:44 I love this bit, the crowd celebrating the dunk
Kid can ball for sure. If he was 6'6" with that natural talent and skills, he would be a sure thing for the NBA.
Most definitely
Had the great opportunity to watch him play live when he was at Georgetown. Great player.
Very special kid! Hope he will be successful in the NBA! 🙏🏻
Well he won the Dunk Contest, so that's a positive start
I love the fact that so many of these are in-game. You know if this was the NFL they’d find a way to outlaw it.
#1 for GC should get a lot of props for the steals and assists, kid was a workhorse!
It's a crime against humanity that he doesn't have a full contract in the NBA.
Back to this legendary video for the 100th time congratulations well deserved what a performance save the whole dunk contest this year
Duuuuuuude is soooo insane bro. Let's go Mac. I've been jumping again for a couple of months, pretty sore quite often but I'm making progress....
1:00 that face he made when he dunked on that one guy😭😭😭😭😭
Bro NOBODY in our region, division or state class was stopping us that year. I think we lost a game or 2 but we won the state title for the 1st time ever after reaching the ship twice before. It was amazing.
The GOAT dunker, no matter what league.
Not yet, Vince could murder the rim with art and finesse
Mac dunks are like your favorite topics of pizza experimented into one pizza that tastes great
Lol lol I can't say GOAT dunker. Cannot do that. But he is super impressive. Top 10 ALL TIME...Yeah...I could go there.
It's just amazing how this guy's head always comes so close to hitting the rim every time. Dude.. IS AMAZING
No chest thumping. No self adulation. No taunting. Just great athleticism and timing. Need more of this in the NBA. Great to see a young guy with quiet confidence.
0:44 chest a pumping!!! wasss gooodie
ummm he stares down and laughs at his opp after every dunk...he's a punk..
@@Coco-qz7fn No need to lie. He only did that a handful of times. Plus it's basketball so defenders can get disrespectful so you gotta let them know sometimes and shut them up.

You can tell this dude has made every player on his team better.
Mac is a beast.
I’m happy he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves
Facts. Just hope it ain’t short lived due to nba not giving him a real opportunity 🤞
This man's wild, doing all those dunk contest dunks in game! IN GAME!
agree it
He has dunks better than some of those dunks on Saturdays dunk contest. Insane....
bro this dude is unstoppable
Damn.. watched home on BIL since he was in highschool and now he playing for my city. This is trippy. Welcome to the sixers
Mac!
I see why he won the dunk contest. 🔥
Those floating baseline reverses are sicky sick! My favorite of his dunks
Insane...no words, just wow!!!
I knew about this dude long before the dunk contest ! AWESOME STUFF
His dunk percentage is dumb high..hes so consistent on his first tries and through contact. Been watching him since high school he deserves his moment
Was always impressed with his reverse, probably one of the few people at his level that doesn’t need multiple reps. It just seems like he can take off from anywhere and land it when he doesn’t get full extension.
What I didn’t know about was his baseline with two hands, max height and full extension.
Reminds me of d rose the way he jumps🔥🔥💭
Just hope he takes care of his body and the way he lands, to many what ifs and d rose is the biggest sadly.
McClung is right up there with the legends of MJ,, vince, Dominique, Dr.----he is really a legendary dunker....
@Official_ballislife is this legit?
His vert was always insane throwback
In the heat of the moment he does a stare down but he’s very humble in every other situation
Boy can shoot now too and dish the rock. He was top 5 in assist in 2021 on the gleague and this season he’s shooting 50% from 3…dude deserves a shot, but his defense is still bad lol
Love him for doing during the games
As we used to say in the gym, the boy’s got UPS. 😊
I think about Allen Iverson when I think about working that hard, to overcome being 6' It's a whole different level.
Dude is all time HS Virginia scoring leader.
I like how the last ¼ of this video showed he's more than a dunker. He's got some handles and looks like he can shoot outside.
Es impresionante la calidad que tiene desde el colegial ! Sé que será una revolución para el basketball
At his size and throwing it down with authority? Beast mode!!
If I was him I’d be sending #1 a Rolex, new car or something for all them alleys….he put on HS Jersey in dunk contest so he probably has sent some love back home
Gate City had some crazy talent for being such a small town high school. You had McClung who set every VA state record his senior year. He graduated and then his teammate Zach Ervin scored over 2k points and won VA state player of the year and has now played 5 years at Elon. Then he graduated and Bradley Dean scored over 2k points and was VA State player of the year and now he’s playing D1 at Miami (OH). That’s insane.
Hitting an in-game Eastbay is nuts
This is what I say when people try to say Bronny isn't that good because he also did this and is only a little taller than Mac....in game eastbays in high school is NOT normal.
I need to also add it seems that when you put the ball n his hands, anywhere near the bucket, it seems to be an automatic score.
4:42 thats a rough play for #12 😂😂😂
Ball is life intro never gets old
This dude definitely had Jordan’s “Come Fly With Me” dvd’s on repeat when he was growing up, cuz he’s got that smooth motion drivin thru opponents on his way to the basket, switichin hands in the air, just like MJ….Lmao it’s hilarious watchin the other teams tryin to find someone who can guard him…

Love the kids reacting everytime he dunked haha
NBA scouts should all be fired for passing on MM.
Not really his college career wasn’t the greatest but he has definitely improved since being in the league
Why? He's had chances. He works hard, though, he can get there
Mac Mcclung is like Messi in football, sticky with the ball
Who else is here after seeing him in the NBA dunk contest?
Me😂
I knew him from G'Town but thought he disappeared
Loved the show of skills at the end of the clip! Everyone knows mcclung can throw down at this point--was nice to see the rest of his game
Putting white jumpers on the map baby!! 💪
He got old school moves there... From the dunk, pass and dribbles..... He will shine at no time....
Dude is a straight baller with a nasty crossover!
Never heard of Mac prior to the dunk contest. I think it would be fair to say that he might've brought some attention to himself. Dude got skills. I'm impressed.👀
Of any current athlete I’am pulling for,…..it’s this guy!🙏💯🔥
