Mac McClung made history by winning his third consecutive Slam Dunk Contest, becoming the first player to achieve this feat. During the event, he impressed the audience by leaping over a Kia sedan, a nod to Blake Griffin's memorable Dunk Contest prop in 2011. McClung's performance included four dunks scoring 50 points, joining an elite group in Dunk Contest history. In the 3-point Contest, Tyler Herro emerged victorious, adding his name to the Miami Heat's list of champions, as Damian Lillard aimed for a third title but fell short.
Despite the eye-popping tone sitter, McClung would find himself in a hotly-contested finals showdown with San Antonio rookie guard Stephon Castle, who logged a score of 99.6 in the last round and narrowly finished second.
I felt like my third dunk should have been a 50. We could've [gone] to a dunk off. I don't know if that's what the crowd would've wanted. But overall, I was happy with it.
