McClung captured the crowd with each dunk, and won the competition for the third straight year. That he’s not a star shouldn’t be a factor.

In a thrilling showcase at the 2025 AT&T Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday, February 15, Osceola Magic guard Mac McClung made history by winning his third consecutive dunk contest title. What makes McClung's achievement even more remarkable is the fact that he isn’t even an NBA player.

Hall of Fame small forward-turned-TNT commentator Vince Carter, who executed perhaps the coolest finish in Dunk Contest history at Oracle Arena way back in 2000, taped introductory hype videos for each player. He was clowned for his efforts at making Buzelis sound cool.
