Rising star Mac McClung has taken the NBA by storm this season, and now he’s set to take the Slam Dunk Contest by storm. After making his NBA debut in February, McClung has already played in two games and has become an internet sensation with his viral dunks.

Now, the 20-year-old is set to compete in the Slam Dunk Contest at the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend. The competition will be broadcast on TV and available to watch online. It will also feature a 3-point Contest, with the players competing for the title of Slam Dunk champion.

Sports Illustrated’s opinion piece on the contest is that McClung is the favorite to take the title this year. The Sixers guard has been impressing fans with his athleticism and dunking ability, and is likely to put on a show in the competition.

The CBS Sports article on the event looks at how the popularity of the Slam Dunk Contest has been waning in recent years, and suggests that the NBA should look into making it a team event. This would potentially draw more stars to the competition, and make it more exciting for fans.

No matter the outcome, Mac McClung is sure to be the star of the show when the Slam Dunk Contest kicks off at the 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend.
