As part of the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend, Mac McClung claimed a stunning victory in the dunk contest, continuing his successful run in such competitions. The basketball player, known for his incredible vertical leap and creativity, added another title to his previous dunk contest victories.

The total prize money from three dunk contest wins amounted to $310,000 for McClung. This achievement is particularly noteworthy when compared to his overall earnings in the National Basketball Association, which total approximately $132,000. Thus, his success in exhibition competitions has brought him more than double the benefit compared to regular league performances.

This year’s victory is a natural continuation of McClung’s impressive series of performances, as he has established himself as one of the most talented dunkers of modern times, capable of competing with the best NBA players even though he is not a full-fledged member of the league.
