The NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has long been one of the most exciting events of the All-Star weekend, showcasing jaw-dropping athleticism and creativity. Despite the Los Angeles Lakers' storied history filled with high-flying players,

Six-foot-two Mac McClung is a phenomenal leaper and a creative dunker. He's also a G-League player with minimal NBA experience.

The NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) calls for $100,000 to be awarded to the Slam Dunk Contest winner. Second place takes home $50,000, and the other two contestants receive $25,000. While $100,000 may be a drop in the bucket compared to the earnings of the league's top players, it can be significant for certain participants.
