Mac McClung, 3-time NBA Slam Dunk champion, becomes first player to win multiple G League MVP awards
McClung is the G League's all-time leading scorer, but he's played in just 11 NBA games since going undrafted in 2021.
Mac McClung continues to rewrite G League history. On Friday, the 27-year-old, three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion became the first player to win multiple G League MVP awards. Last month, during a 59-point outing, the Chicago Bulls two-way guard, who stars for their affiliate, the Windy City Bulls, overtook Renaldo Major in career points, establishing himself as the league’s all-time leading scorer.
The G League has been around since 2001. Over five seasons, McClung has combined for 5,335 points across the G League’s tip-off tournament, regular season and playoffs. For reference, Major scored 5,299 points in the span of 10 seasons.
McClung last won MVP with the Osceola Magic during the 2023-24 campaign. The season before that, he won a G League title with the Delaware Blue Coats. Just as he did with the G League’s Magic two seasons ago, McClung took home the scoring title this time around.
He led the league with 31. 8 points per game, plus he averaged 7. 9 assists while making 3.
