Reactions to Mac McClung’s 540 and Hesi Triple Pump Dunks During 2023 NBA Dunk Contest Go Viral

Mac McClung achieved a feat that many NBA players can only dream of: winning the 2023 NBA Dunk Contest. His impressive performance captivated the crowd, as he pulled off a series of incredible dunks, including a 540 and the now-legendary Hesi Triple Pump Dunk.

Receiving 50 on all of his dunks, Mac McClung became part of history in terms of the story of how he got there. His success is amazing considering the fact that just a few days prior, the young player wasn’t even on an NBA roster. However, McClung was signed by the Philadelphia Sixers on a two-way contract shortly before the Dunk Contest, and it’s clear that really gave him a confidence boost.

The reactions to Mac McClung’s 540 dunk was the defining moment of his amazing show at the contest. After the dust settled NBA analyst Kenny Smith exclaimed, “A star is born”. His statement was validated as McClung, despite his height, pulled off some of the most incredible dunks ever seen.
