Surprise winner in the second day of the All Star Game.
The dunk contest, one of the most anticipated events of the All Star Game (this year scheduled to take place in Salt Lake City), saw a surprise victory for McClung. Newly landed to the Philadelphia 76ers, the newly minted dunk king has a rather incredible story.
A high school phenom, he has played only two NBA games (one in a Bulls jersey, one in a Lakers jersey) but, in Salt Lake City, he left everyone speechless, even NBA All Star Durant: “I mean no disrespect to anyone, but what are they doing? A G League player?”, KD had said, referring precisely to McClung who, instead, proved to be the best, surprising even KD himself.
