In the main event of NBA All-Star Saturday Night, some of the league’s youngest high flyers took part in tonight’s Slam Dunk Contest.
Making up the field was Kenyon Martin Jr. (who feels old?), Mac McClung, Trey Murphy III, and Jericho Sims. However, it was McClung who stole the show, just four days after signing a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. McClung, a viral sensation who’s been on the radar of hoop enthusiasts since his videos began making rounds as far back as 2016, impressed with cleanly executed, acrobatic dunks at just 6-foot-2. He beat Murphy III in the final round to become the first Philadelphia 76er to win the Dunk Contest since the event was officially established in 1984.
