76ers guard Mac McClung was crowned the 2023 NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion after showing out with three perfectly scored attempts out of four on Saturday night in Salt Lake City. Following his jaw-dropping performance, which drew some major praise from Shaquille O'Neal, Warriors superstar Stephen Curry took to Twitter to shout out and congratulate McClung.
Curry reminisced on watching McClung's incredible high school mixtapes, which were full of incredible in-game dunks, before saluting the 24-year-old for his journey in the league.
McClung has been back and forth between the NBA and the G League, having just signed with the Sixers ahead of the All-Star break. Curry, like the rest of us, was in awe over his performance despite him having played in just two games in his NBA career.
