Mac McClung, the back-to-back NBA Slam Dunk champion, recently admitted that he would “probably” lose to LeBron James in a dunk contest. The 25-year-old G League star clinched the Slam Dunk title during the All-Star festivities, outshining Jaylen Brown to secure the victory in Indy.

Mac McClung’s Thoughts on Facing LeBron James

During a celebrity shift at Raising Cane’s in Orlando, McClung expressed his admiration for LeBron James, stating, “[LeBron’s] the man, I don’t know if I’d want to go up against him. He’d probably beat me, for sure.” This acknowledgment comes despite LeBron’s famous absence from the dunk contest, a decision that disappointed many fans given his reputation as one of the greatest dunkers in league history.

Potential Three-Peat and Future Plans

While McClung is still contemplating whether to pursue a three-peat in the dunk contest, he emphasized his focus on finishing the current season strongly before considering new dunk ideas. If he does decide to participate again, he is keen on facing opponents who are enthusiastic about taking part in the contest.
