Mac McClung scores 50 in each round en route to Slam Dunk Contest three-peat

Mac McClung's dunk over a car wasn't his only perfect 50 of the night. In fact, every single one of his dunks earned a perfect score.

For his second dunk, McClung went a bit more conservative but still showcased incredible hangtime. He soared over a person, executed a delayed mid-air spin and slammed it home with two hands.

In the final round against San Antonio Spurs rookie G Leaguer Stephon Castle, McClung wasted no time displaying his creativity and insane bounce.

He dunked two balls at once — one positioned near the rim and the other he grabbed mid-air from a person spinning on a hoverboard.

Castle kept it competitive, forcing McClung to deliver a strong finish — and he did just that. For his final dunk, he jumped over Evan Mobley, bounced the ball off the rim, and hammered it in with both hands.

The moment he landed, he immediately signaled the crowd to watch the replay — knowing they’d be even more amazed by his hops.
