NBA Slam Dunk Star Mac McClung Makes History for Bulls’ Affiliate Mac McClung, the high-flying guard known for his explosive dunking skills, etched his name into the history books of the NBA G League with a record-breaking performance for the Windy City Bulls. The 27-year-old poured in 54 points in a single game, setting a new franchise record for the team. His output also included career highs of 18 field goals made and 9 three-pointers, cementing his status as a standout performer in the developmental league. McClung’s journey through the NBA’s minor leagues has been marked by consistent excellence. After starring at Texas Tech during his final NCAA season, he went undrafted in 2021 and began his professional career with the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate. The Bulls became the first team to offer him an NBA contract, signing him to a 10-day deal in December 2021, which was later extended to 20 days before expiring without further action. Following his time with the Bulls, McClung joined the Philadelphia 76ers’ affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, where he achieved significant milestones. He won his first Slam Dunk contest as a member of the Sixers and secured his first two-way contract with the team. McClung also claimed his first NBA G League title with the Blue Coats, showcasing his ability to thrive in competitive environments. Since leaving the Sixers, McClung has played for the Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers before joining the Windy City Bulls. While his ultimate goal remains to secure a steady role in the NBA, his accomplishments in the G League are undeniable. A three-time Slam Dunk champion, he also holds titles as NBA G League MVP, two-time All-NBA G League First Team member, and scoring champion.#philadelphia_76ers #mac_mcclung #windy_city_bulls #nba_g_league #delaware_blue_coats
