Mac McClung has become an overnight NBA sensation after the minor league basketball player became the first such player to enter the NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. 


McClung, a White basketball player, further cemented his star power when he went on to deliver some awe-inspiring aerial acrobatics on his way to winning the dunk contest over the mountainous players.


The 6-foot-2 McClung already had a massive YouTube and social media following due to his spectacular slam dunk competition theatrics in high school and college. Unfortunately, the Virginia-born and bred McClung was relegated to the NBA’s G-League until this past week when he signed a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.
