Mac McCung was the first basketball player to win the Slam-Dunk competition as part of the NBA all-star weekend for the third time. McCung showed four spectacular darks and received the maximum number of 50.0 each time. The 26-year-old jumped over a friend and a car and hammered the ball backwards into the basket.
McCung is currently under contract with Orlando Magic. But he plays in the development league G-League for the farm team Oscola Magic, where he was named the best player in the league last year. In 2023, McCung was the first G-League player to participate in the NBA Slam-Dunk competition-now he won it for the third time. Among other things, legend Michael Jordan had won the competition twice in series.

The Skills Challenge won the Duo Evan Mabley and Donovan Mitchell from the currently best team in the league, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Herro, Mobley and Mitchell will also play at the All-Star tournament on Sunday, which will be held with four teams this year.
The Munich Tristan da Silva missed participation. The 23-year-old rookie from Orlando Magic and his team should have won the League Rising Stars tournament, but was eliminated in the semi-finals.
