Just watched him play 20 minutes for Lakers final game of the season. He’s been so good! His family must be so proud.
Most impressive to me is the guy works and works and works. That determination separates him from many. Dude is a winner.
It would separate him if he weren't on PEDs.
I totally agree 👍
The kid can ball. Maybe he makes the NBA, maybe he doesn’t. He got a free ride to a top college and a legitimate chance to prove himself in the NCAA. Good luck, kid!
Islanders83 the dudes dunking on dudes doing 360s windmill reverses between the legs and shit live.... He's better than allot of NBA dunkers as a freshman.......... I'm just saying he's like a damn created player on 2k with 99 rating in everything that has the best dunk package and layup package.
Hey man. I appreciate your positivity! You have a good day buddy
Islanders83
He's going 1st Round! Thats the WHITE DWADE
Dozha Deville
My current prediction is round 1, pick 30
@@brandonharmon5556 or PEDs, reality is he's fat and short... PEDs all the way.
from a pure business perspective, these kids who grow up in a social media culture can take their futures in their own hands... regardless of how good Mac is, he's going to put BUTTS IN SEATS... He seems to have all of the tools and mindset to bring value to any organization. Keep grinding kid!
I live an hour from Georgetown and being able to see Mac play a lot is something I'm looking forward to a lot
John Stockton is 6’ 1” and a hall of famer, so height doesn’t matter when it comes to the greatness of a basketball player.
And Stockton doesn't slam.
Yes it does ....
Average height was much shorter back then
@@isaact3794 in the 90s??? no it wasnt. If anything it got shorter. maybe its back up thanks to Boban and Taco but there were much more 7' plus freaks in the 80s.
Misteh T ur out of ur mind
How can you not like this kid!! I'm a die hard Syracuse Orange fan. And as one of the oldest rivalries in NCAA history we have against Georgetown... I will be rooting for them bulldogs while McClung is there.
This is amazing. This really captured what a title meant to this city. Scotty has worked so hard to make great players out of so many players before Mac that just didn't make it. GC with Scotty have been ahead of the curve for basketball in this region for such a long time and going up north to play those schools and beat them is just something teams around here and GC could never do. To break through after this season with everything from losing to powerhouse North Meck to start off the Arbys Classic to the upset loss against Graham has been special but the way they did it has been legendary. Coming back to avenge the loss against Graham and beat Lee in the finals after they knocked GC out last season. Mac breaking all the records and riding off into the sunset. Everyone in the GC basketball community earned it. This piece captures the struggle that program went through.
Mcity Baller
Scotty is a heck of a coach, and a better guy. I played against scotty in high school. Tough competitor. I'm not surprised by his success. I'm very proud of him and his team. As for Mac. Kids a gladiator. I watched him hang 23 on my kids Team. And trust me that team was tough. He's special. Good luck to him at the next level.
Mcity Baller well it was awesome. Love southeast VA and east TN. I am going to pull for him at Georgetown tgats for sure.
Drew Headland y
Drew Halfhand no b guY: Bobbin.
When you’re signing autographs at high school level, you know you’re going to be something special in their future.
The disrespect of his low rating is a huge mistake by ESPN
not really, ESPN has always been a group of idiots
They had Adam Morrison as a three star too.
Southern Bum damn bro that was a terrible example lol
Nio MK I hope our blessed by GOD's vision scouting department takes notice!!!
Southern Bum ...adam morrison was a bust. The fk are u talkin about!
It’s not that I expected to dislike this kid but I did not expect him to be so respectful or like-able .So level headed and loyal.He is a freak to be sure and if we’re lucky he’ll be making fans butts jump out of their seats and cheer for many years.With all of the mental tools and work ethic he already has he’s capable of having a long career .
My hats off to you Mac and special kudos to your parents who should write a parenting book because they’ve done a stellar job raising that young man.
Now if they could just bottle those genes
What a great kid. Great parents. It’s so nice to see a kid(young man) like him do so well. Love this story. Good luck in the future.
I wish the best for McClung. Fly young man, fly.
Fantastic story, inspiring, we need more Macs as people. So happy they got their crown. Awesome parents too! And hats off to the video quality!
Seems like a 1st class young man that has really put the time/effort into his craft to be great! I’ll be rooting for him to go as far as his talent will take him.
What a great story! Thanks for putting something like this together. I've followed this kid last couple of months on TH-cam down here in OZ, dunking and shooting his way to win a state championship with his school. Looking forward to seeing how he goes in College and hopefully the NBA ..why not !
Georgetown knows how develop guards. AI my favorite of time and Mac. Rooting for ya kid
This guy is a freak! All the best to him moving forward!
I've never seen a 6 footer leap & dunk like that. Those reverse windmills are just so smooth.
Extraordinary athleticism & massively underrated.
He seems to have the game to be able to have an impact at Georgetown as a point guard.
I truly hope one day we see this kid in the NBA... it would be awesome.
correction - 6’2
But still, maaaan
This kid has such good form... There is no telling how good he can become. Even when he lands he is flying... Good strength and reflexes.
The sign says it all Heart miles an miles of heart. You can't coach that. It comes once in a blue moon Great video. Looking forward to seeing this fine Man on National TV What a Gem.
Amazing job editing this video. Love it almost as much as I love Mac😉
Great video! Well put together not a dull moment at all! Good luck to Mac at the next level
This is a fantastic little mini-documentary. Really well made film. It's really refreshing to get a little insight into the human story behind all the hype and highlights. I wish him all the best in his strive for basketball success. His parents seem cool and supportive, so that's a good foundation to build off. Thanks for the great video.
Amazing editing.
Could not agree more. What a great story.
this guy and zion i have been watching their highlights for a while now, these docs. are awesome
Coronavirus made him transfer
literally blew me away
S/o to the editor! This is a great video and Mac Mcclung is a beast! Makes me lose my voice everytime I do a video about him!
Clark Jones his is natural ability and hard work! My high school played him in 2015 and he only had 8 points.I bet he can’t remember the last time he scored 8 points. Hard work pays off.
Vertical jump was measured at 48 inches by Georgetown staff.
Yeah he'll be great with his 11 minutes per game average throughout college. Shit i bet he transfers out to a smaller division after he never sees the court in Georgetown.
@@PoloJoeTV he uses "vertimax "
@@JanoyCresva this comment did NOT age well...lol
great video pulling for this kid as someone that grew up in a small town similar to gate city (albeit in georgia) it means something in these small towns when you say i have to do it for my city, because we don't have that many come out.
Mad respect to Mac. Like he said, he could’ve went to a prep school and played better competition and had more national coverage, but he chose to stay loyal to his small home town and a lot of people don’t understand how much that means to the other people of a town like Gate City. A lot of guys just want to go where the spotlight is so they can make the money quicker. Mac did it right, he has a solid college career and now he’s getting his shot in the NBA.
This here is the greatest video I’ve seen thus far! Heck yeah. Thank you!!
Great video!!!!!
Hey guys, I'm living in Madrid and just heard about this guy. I'm definitely excited to follow his career, which I can foresee being incredible. I really hope his hard work pays off! Congratulations Mac. I'm eager to see more from you in the future. Definitely Georgetown will have an amazing player in their lines next season! Good luck!
I want to see this young man prove everyone that doubted him wrong. That kid is special and I am rooting for you Mac you gonna make it to the top don’t stop what got you this far and that’s your DESIRE💯👊🏿‼️
Cut from that Baron Davis/Steve Francis cloth
High Guise people cannot physically be cut from cloth. They are born, nothing else
Great family and kid. Good luck at Georgetown!
Love your story... touch the stars for us Mac Attack :) from New Zealand... court side tickets when you're in the big league ma man.. bless, such an awesome guy
Sheeed ! he reminds me of how i used to see that American dream kid on the television 40 years ago and we brits had so much respect for the good ol boy looking out for the underdog, awe inspiring ! Believing in the potential of those with honest strong will and loyalty towards doing what's right and not what made you rich quick.
Type of guy you give half your lunch to if he'd forgotten his. Yeh ! His parents come from good parents. Oh crud now i need a tissue....Those are Pride tears...no shame there thankyou mr & mrs McClung...your sons a "Lionheart !"
amazing.. great athlete.. so glad they won state championship.. i hope to see him succeed at Georgetown and then go to the nba
redtesta he isn't sniffing the NBA. Mac .Ade his living playing against fat slow white kids. No white people in the NBA
wtf you been watching. you watched the games he played top players? look at who is judging him, critiquing him. Well i guess going to georgetown sure showed he was only playing against slow white boys LMAO give me a break. paint the picture you want, its a false picture
I know u guys are a small Chanel but you guys did great on that
One thing I just find amazing is that this team has at least three serious D-1 players on it. In a town with less than 2000 people. That speaks volumes of the basketball program and culture there. I went to a high school with 3000 STUDENTS and I was the first one and only one to make a D-1 squad for the first 12 graduating classes. I mean think about it... how many kids even go to GC high? 150? and out of that small a number you've got Mac McClung, Zach Ervin, and Bradley Beane (sp?) who will all most likely play D-1 ball. Somebody better start bottling that water or something because . . . . Damn.
Best of luck to you young man.great season. You will never forget these moments. So many local athletes have the talent to make that move to the next level but never end up going for whatever reason. I am living proof. Graduate from Boone in 94. Played football and baseball 4 year starter. My family loves watching you play. Keep it 100!!!!!
I'm so glad he's coming to Georgetown (Big Georgetown Hoyas and Patrick Ewing Fan). He is going to get a first rate education, will be playing in the best league (The Big East), Will have a chance to play every game and may even have a strong possibility of starting most all of the games.
For GT, he is surely needed as we don't have a pure point guard, we certainly don't have a guard who can get to the rim, he will add some offensive punch from the front court that is sorely needed, his swagger and flair will attract more fans and hopefully will help recruit some future 5 star recruits to GT.
I believe Mac is greater talent than a 3 star athlete. I agree with him that it is disrespectful to rate him so low just because he plays in a small region with what is perceived as lower competition. What I am seeing on the court with his play can be done against any competition. He is explosive, he's got skills, he plays the position right and sum it all up, he is very talented. Based on those criteria, he is certainly above a 3 star rating.
When players like Alonzo, Dikembe, Othella, Reggie Williams, David Wingate, Iverson, Sleepy Floyd, Greg Monroe, Roy Hibbert, Jahidi White, Mike Sweetney, etc but most important player of them all my all time favorite player Patrick Ewing decided to go to GT, I became a huge fan of theirs. I want to become a huge fan of McClung and I think that I will.
bruh u tweakin the big east is nowhere near the best league
Drew Wilson Big East😂😂😂 huh
Best league is BBB lavar GOAT
jesusneverexisted300 he's not really a pure pg, he plays like a 2 guard. I think he will do well in college as well. Beyond that not so sure.
From the looks of it on film, it looks like he can get the ball to his teammates. Are you saying he can't do that?
The hype is real. Great video.
This kid will make the NBA and become a perennial all star. Good luck Mac!
Now he's playing with the warriors. Damn
The story about signing autographs was incredible. What a great kid.
This boy been Blessed with the Power of the Gods! The God of Thunder Raiden aka Mac McClung
Dee Johns
Hes so good
This was a great video. Very well done
Nice video and very good player. Wish MM continued success at every level he climbs up to.
I’m honestly in love with his character how he doesn’t just think about himself, it’s also about everyone else and when you don’t know or see it, his work ethic is unbelievable
He's definitely perfect for George Town at guard!
Progressing right along MAC! Keep that drive alive do it for your city !
Beautifully edited. Liked and subscribed
Mac's such a hustler.I think his drive and heart for the game is going to take him to his goal.
DAMMMNN! Bonafide hooper!
Hope you make it bru
Very well done, great story and looking forward to see what Mac does at Georgetown
Thats Awesome ! never seen this dude before but i will be seeing a lot of him down the road for sure.
CGMafia getting all love.
Chills...
amazing video, i feel if more people see this theyll see the true value of what he's accomplished for himslef and his community in such a short amount of time
What a great kid. Wish nothing but the best for him. Hopefully he gets to the NBA and is able to further impact his community using that platform
His name is an Onomatopoeia, when he dunks the ball "MCCLUNG!"
😄LoL👍
How is he not a McDonald's highschool All American??? His game is awesome, and he's broken records.
Michael Lindsey and who would he replace?
dom Anybody but Zion and that Canadian kid, I'm being biased as a McClung fan.
Lmaooo you think he can replace RJ Barret?
He's a white boy that's why. Hope he kills it in college
Look at him against other elite level high schoolers
I am unbelievably proud...thank you Gate City Blue Devils!!!
I wish you the very best in your College career Mac,you seem to bring fun,and a great work ethnic into your game and it shows!
Whoo 48" vertical ! Coming to Big East via The HOYAS...
Dennis Taylor his vert is more like 40 lol
lol 48 hmmm
@@marshallh.7553
LOL. Yeah. If his vj was really 48", he'd be doing some alien shit on the court, instead of just looking like a freak.
He's top 10 pg for sure. Top 50 overall
Tripwire Slingshots Stop
Isn't he like 41st at PG in the nation?
ben1ben2ben1 probably, I think he's a little under rated because he's in a weak division .
Tripwire Slingshots If anything he is a little overrated because he is popular
He isn't really over rated just underrated by recruiters
dope little piece and i agree sharp editing on those ball videos
he does what every other high school kid does that plays for a team, but his vertical is what stands out, his other skills are so so for guard for play for teams
Wesley Snipes.. Woody Harrelson... You have some explaining to do...🤔🤨
😆
McClung and Cmac types dont come around every day
@Marc Bryant LOL! TH-cam is full of white guys dunking. SMH...
PEDs.
Ambient Blue-eyedMonkey No you moron. PED’s can make you stronger but they don’t make you jump higher. LOL
Somebody else from VA
people sleeping on VA a lot of Great athletes!
Never slept on VA Ronald Curry Vick AI Chris and Kyle Long VA puts them out!
Measure the Heart of the MAN! If you can play N you CAN..finish your journey...Best Wishes to you and your family...Humble n Loyal...
Great video! Believe! Train! Fight for it! Never quit!
Amazing story, this is what happens when you open up the flood gates when one chooses to believe. Truly inspired from Navajo Country!......
He has those athletic looking parents too, even at their age you can tell.
Yes. His dad looks like he could still kick some hiney.
Outstanding video
Props to the editors and producers. Really well done.
He's the white Westbrook with a jumpshot
Kit Arnold he’s better than Westbrook was at that age.
His jumper is shit
Sake Wallace better than Russs
Kit Arnold
White DWade!
@@andrewtate1507 it goes in alot. Shit? Wtf are you talking about?
The guy behind the kids has the strangest reaction at 8:33
Gary Scopel Haha. Well spotted!
It's cos the kid with the glasses was out of control, spitting and everything
He is special, I admit I would like to see him play in person on a big stage. Hope he stays level headed and continues to give back as well as move forward with confidence. Prayers Up !" God bless u Mac...
Great video 🙌
And now he plays for the lakers
damn his vertical.
Had never heard of Mac until tonight. Watched several videos of him and damn! This kid is legit. Seems like a great young man. Good luck in college and maybe the pros Mac.
This was amazing! This kid is special and is gonna go far!
U all talk about he doesn't have the speed to play nba I can name a hand full of pg in the nba who doesn't have near the athletic ability of Mac
Don Vaughn Chill out wait till he plays in college before you try to make a case for him.
Bruh he's faster and more athletic than Kyrie, Van Vleet, Larkin, Curry, etc and he's got the skill set to match, ESPECIALLY the passing. He's NBA talent period.
Rap Lawyer Dennis Smith Jr...
It’s all about heart and being humble. This dudes gonna be fun to watch excel;) get it son
Rap Lawyer life comes down to decisions bro yeh lots of great street ballers but they made decisions that kept them in a rut. Mac seems humble and hungry
Make 40% of 3's and he's going to be a sleeper in next year's draft.
Man what a beautiful place. Love them mountains
Man he can ball and what a great young man
Great story, good kid. Wish him all the best at Georgetown. Hope his athleticism translates to the college level and maybe even the pros. So much is made about him being white. Looking closely at him and his parents I'm curious if he might be slightly African-American. A lot of Southern whites who have distant family roots in this country have some African admixture. Doesn't matter, though. All that matters is he can ball, hopefully successfully on a bigger stage now.
zyxwut321 yeah I think I see a little native in there to, maybe a little Mexican ? What do you think
zyxwut321
LOL. Let them have this one so they can be happy.:)
The greatest white basketball player to come out of virginia since J.J. redick!!!! He's going to put georgetown back on the map like they use to be in the 90's!!! 💪💪
wayyy more fun to watch than JJ.
Tony Okafor JJ was a DAWG!! His high school stories are so disrespectful. -only team in VA to win state with a losing record
Tony Okafor p
Redick is from Crossville, TN.
@@aservantinbabylon
Reddick played HS ball in Roanoke, VA.
Gave me chills. Love you Mac
Great player, and just an all around great guy. All the best to him in the future! ✊
Did anyone else notice that he writes LEFT handed and shoots RIGHT handed?
Ya like Larry Bird!!!!
He indeed is, ambidextrous.
He will be the best player in the history of basketball!
He's a great kid
I wish him the best!!!
This is basketball in the fullest sense. Thank you, Mac and Gate City.
hes gonna blow G-TOWN up!!!!!!
Is he 6 feet or 6'2??
bigstink9. Yes
Terry Epps
LOL.
Yes what??? Which one is it??
bigstink9 he is 6'2 with a 48' vert
Alex Scott
Thanx dude.:)
Shout out to Mac all the way from Dallas 👍🏼👌🏼✌🏼
Awesome vid!
