This might be Mac McClungs last game before this weekends NBA All Star Game and the Skills Challenges & Slam Dunk Contest. He
is still in fine form even though he must be trying to figure out what dunks he will do. McClung will be the shortest guy in the the
NBA Dunk Contest. I hate how many super tall guys enter it. No matter what dunk they do they don't get that high off the ground. I think
they should have a height limit for all dunk contests. Maybe 6'5 to 6'6 at the most. I would even prefer like 6 feet to 6'4. Now these guys
are the true jumpers with insane hops and vertical leaps. The hang time in the air seems to last forever. Tall guys in dunk contests are boring.

I like how the G-League brags that 47% of the NBA has G-League experience. But, the feature is about their MVP, Mac McClung, who “isn’t good enough” to be on an NBA roster.This might be Mac McClungs last game before this weekends NBA All Star Game and the Skills Challenges & Slam Dunk Contest. He

The nickname 'G-League' for the NBA minor league is derived from its root 'Garza League.' Next season, it could be called the M-League for Mac!
(could also be called the d'ontavious league of extraordinary gentlemen)
I just watched a commercial for the All Star game and a White dude with a beard and tats on his face was shown a few times. Who is it?
Post Malone, the rapper
At least he's not a player. I hope he enjoys looking at them when he's 60 or 80.

Again another slap in the face. Mac McClung who they love to mock and tease was signed to a two way 10 day contract the the Sixers.
They have Embiid, Harden and many others. It's just another way to give the kid hope and then ignore him. A guy that dominates the
NBA G League can't get signed for even half a season. Think about that blatant anti white racism. Think about the teams that took him.
The Lakers with Lebron, Anthony Davis and others. The Warriors with Steph, Klay and now the Sixers. Is it too much to have a team that
actually needs a point guard to give him a chance. There are so many horrible teams all across the NBA. Yet no one can use an athletic
shooter who can give you assists, points, steals and all while playing solid defense. Why can't he go to a team that actually wants him
and no more of these 10 day contracts where all they do is sit him on the bench. This league makes me so angry!

Hey WL,
I feel your concern but this may open another door for him. Yes, there are definitely teams that need a point guard. However, the good thing is he is still quite young and this may be just another step to him landing in a brighter spot in the long term. Teams want to win and his talent is undeniable. For all we know he could wind up on the Jazz somehow, some way. That would be something!

25 year old Furkan Korkmaz wan't to be traded. I can't blame him. He is an excellent shooter & like so many of our guys they sit him every
night despite his abilty to score. I hope he finds a team that will appreciate him. Again this is not a good spot for McClung to go. The
Sixers are the city of brotherly love for a reason. They do not like to play white players and this has been going on for a very long time.

What a bunch of B.S., he has been signed to the three worst teams for a white guy. He won’t play but the DWF’s will say he didn’t t do anything in the NBA. This kind of crap only happens to white guys. The same thing happened to Jimmer in a minutes sort of way. He was allowed 12 to 15 minutes a game and the cucks automatically called him a bust. A black of his pedigree from college would be immediately give 25 to 30 minutes a game. It’s almost as bad as Toby Gerhart in the nfl getting drafted to Minnesota who had the best runningback in the league.

Great post. The sad thing is that Mac McClung is 24 so he has patiently waited 2 years for a legitimate chance. The league like most other
sports leagues goes out of their way to discriminate against our guys. It's so obvious. The whole system is rigged and it's a deck of cards
that needs to come falling down. We can dream can't we? I remember when Rex Chapman was in the NBA Dunk Contest many decades ago.
He missed making the finals by 1 point. The judges didn't want him in the finals despite him doing some epic dunks! I doubt McClung gets
any better treatment but as always I hope I'm wrong.

They have to throw us a damn bone here sooner or later brother! Maybe Mac to Phili will be it!! I’ve noticed in your awesome coverage on Mac, comments on his highlights went from being mainly negative to mostly positive and questioning why he isn’t in the NBA.

Speaking of the NBA Dunk Contest. Mac McClung has 3 disadvantages to him winning. First off he is white and only Brent Barry with hisA short interview with Mac McClung.

phenomenal free throw line dunks has overcome his white skin disease to go on the win and become the NBA Slam Dunk Champion.
Second McClung he the only player that has to play a game the night before the contest. This will hurt his legs as the game is on Friday and
the Dunk Contest is Saturday the very next day.
Third all the other players are between 6'7 to 6'9 so they don't have to jump high to do crazy dunks with very long arms. Dunks to guys
these tall are like layups to little kids. Then Mac McClung is only 6'2 so by far he is the shortest dunker by half a foot. Still wishing him
well but he has the full deck of cards stacked against him. I hope somehow, someway he still goes and wins the NBA Dunk Contest!

Another Joker sequel? Where NBA insiders think the MVP race is headed
Bird. Wilt. Russell. Jokic? The back-to-back MVP has Denver atop the West, but has he done enough to make it a three-peat? Here's the latest voting snapshot.

If Jokic wasn't White there wouldn't even be a discussion about whether or not he'd win it. It would be moot, and all would fall in line anointing him the 3Peat.Another Joker sequel? Where NBA insiders think the MVP race is headed

Dirk Nowitzki(30,000+points),\ and Pau Gasol among others are up the the NBA Hall of Fame. Nowitzki is a lock
to make it on his first try. Gasol possibly. Would love to see both guys get in.
