Mac McClung made history by winning his third consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contest, becoming the first player ever to achieve a three-peat in the event.
He outshined Stephon Castle, Matas Buzelis, and Andre Jackson Jr. to repeat as champion, cementing his name among the event’s greats.
McClung set the tone early, earning a perfect 50 on his first dunk by jumping over a Kia, a move reminiscent of Blake Griffin’s iconic 2011 dunk.
