Slam dunk contest: McClung makes history!
26-year-old Mac McClung has become the first basketball player to win the slam-dunk competition at the NBA's All-Star Weekend for the third time in a row.
McClung performed four spectacular dunks on Saturday (local time) in San Francisco and scored the maximum 50.0 points each time. Among other things, he jumped over a friend and a car and hammered the ball backwards into the basket.
McClung is currently under contract with the Orlando Magic. However, he plays in the G-League development league for the Osceola Magic farm team, where he was named the league's best player last year. In 2023, McClung was the first G-League player to take part in the NBA's Slam Dunk Contest - now he has won it for the third time. Among others, legend Michael Jordan had won the competition twice in a row.
Herro won the three-point contest
Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat had previously won the three-point contest, preventing Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks from winning for the third time in a row. Herro came out on top in the final ahead of local hero Buddy Hield of the Golden State Warriors.
The Skills Challenge was won by the duo Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell from the current best team in the league, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Herro, Mobley and Mitchell will also play in the All-Star Tournament on Sunday, which is being held with four teams this year.
