Mac McClung Aiming for Historic Third Dunk Contest Title

As the NBA All-Star Weekend approaches, Mac McClung is set to defend his title in the Dunk Contest, aiming to become the first player to win three consecutive championships in the event's history. McClung, who previously won in 2023 and 2024, is joined in the competition by rookies Matas Buzelis and Stephon Castle, as well as Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. The contest will be judged by former players including Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady, with fans also participating in the voting through the NBA ID platform. Despite the Philadelphia 76ers not having an All-Star representative this year, McClung's journey from the G League to Dunk Contest stardom highlights his unique position in NBA history. The contest will take place on February 15, 2025, following other events on All-Star Saturday. McClung's previous victories have solidified his status as one of the most exciting dunkers in league history.
