Daily News | The Sixers’ Mac McClung is out to impress at All-Star Weekend — and not just with his dunks
SALT LAKE CITY — How do you look past Mac McClung’s athleticism, a quality that has pigeonholed him but also made him famous?
McClung said Friday that he’s been practicing two dunks that no one has seen before. At least 80% of the questions during his 20-minute media availability were about his jumping ability and dunking.isn’t just about showing off his bounce. McClung has scored at least 40 points twice this season. He had a career-high 44 points against the Raptors 905 on Nov. 18. He made 13 of 21 shots — including 4 of 8 three-pointers — and shot 8-for-9 from the foul line.
“I think we were interested in a more pass-first point guard,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said in the fall. “Letting Mac go was tough. I love Mac, and I think he’s an NBA player.”
