Will the NBA fly Mac McClung in for the dunk contest when he’s playing for Fenerbahçe in two years?

Mac McClung might become the Joey Chestnut of the Slam Dunk Contest. He will be back as long as the NBA allows him even if he’s not in the league to take on all comers and defend his crown.

Mac McClung has no Sixers representation around him because they have no idea who the hell that man is.
