The camera operator deserves a freaking Oscar! One camera, all those zooms in/out, keeping shit in focus, and showing us the best action (even in the stands). Unbelievable work, sir/madam.
Looking back on this team, they had 3 straight VA Players of the Year and 3x 2,000+ point scorers. Mac, Zac Erwin (23) and Bradley Dean (1). Erwin is now starting at Elon and Dean is playing D2 at UVA-Wise. That’s just a ton of talent in such a small town.
Thts what happens when friends get to together fall in love with the work it takes and push each other. This was an actual team, not just kids playing basketball together. Really really good high school team with real deal players
Yeah, I was wondering why they didn't put that kid in the title of this video too. He'll probably end up at a top 10 program somewhere. Seems like a good kid, too. With all that jaw-jackin' young Mac was doing, 32 wasnt' really saying much back. The way he was ballin, if I was him, I woulda been talkin puro pinche trash!
Big fish in a tiny pond, he got humbled in the big leagues but I love his passion. He passed when he needed to and scored when he needed to. He plays like he’s been told why he can and can’t do. He maximized his potential
There's a reason he's only a 3 star recruit (although that's a lot better than most of the people in his age). He's good, no doubt he'd be a solid contributor for Georgetown in D1 ball, but his talents get over exaggerated because of the lack of talent in his league.
Ad van der Meer yeah for sure. But it looked like to me that it was a blocking foul cuz the player in white wasn’t set and he turned his body. That’s what happens when playoff games are played on home floors. Benefit of the home court with the officiating
AJ Ross lol nah there's nothing to be mad at 😂😂 i just used him as a joke bro. Considering I said that it's a joke means that you're the one thats really mad😭😭😭💀
Shoots like Steve Alford did at Indiana, attacks the rim like a young Jordan, dishes to open teammates when defense collapses on him. Legitimately gets his head rim level or better with a clear line to the basket. That he chose to play for Pat Ewing shows he wants to be a complete player, he'll certainly be a vastly improved defensive player before he leaves. Watching ball since 1970, this kid is special. With his small town upbringing he's like the second coming of Jerry "Zeke from Cabin Creek" West. I bet if you ask JW about this kid he will prove quite knowledgeable about him.
Mac if you’re ever going to read this. You truly are steve nash with Oladipo bounce. That’s true talent. Looking forward to watching georgetown when you play💯. To one of the greatest highschool players ever🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
great jumper, but gonna need good teammates. mac has a few guys that can also attack and shoot, that helps win games. When you're passing no looks and it bounces off your teammates face, not much winning going to happen.
they didnt compare him. i mean they said he pulled a kobe saying maybe he went clutch in his championship game but they didnt compare him and say he was as good or better or anything like that. dont get so offended.
Lmao ain’t no way some short white bout playin against country club kids should be in the same sentence as Kobe idc. I get what they’re sayin but still. Y’all need to get off his dick 😂
Gonna go out on a limb here but I am predicting that Mac will be the best B-ball player ever to come out of Gate City Virginia. That dunk @3:55 is legendary
BUN Xiao level of competition and other attributes. He has a good game for someone with a level of 74, but there's so much he needs work on. But who knows he might be a diamond in the rough. Remember that Steph Curry was ranked 281 in his high school class in recruiting.
He has more downs to his game than ups. Not a good shooter from more than 6 feet away. He is really slow on the court and is tough for him to move lateral. Not to mention he will not be able to drive the ball to the hoop in college because of a lack of vision. He picks up three guys now he can make it in because the comp sucks but in college he is gonna get his shit rocked
He's an average shooter. He can hit shots from more than 6 feet away. His problems is on court awareness, defensive awareness, the ability to dribbling consistently with his off hand, and being able to handle on ball pressure from a stout defense. He'll need 4 years of college to work through all of this of he wants to make the league. Being Riff Raff's cousin doesn't mean anything since Riff Raff himself is garbage in his own profession.
That coach for the gray team is going absolutely bananas. Coach Ewing you need to look at that #1 kid. Mac, player you're going to have to play a little bit of D when you come to the Hilltop and especially playing in the Big East. Go Hoyas!
Why is it that every other comment is about him not playing "black" people, or competition? That is just ignorant, and seems a bit like racism haha...If it were him alone in a gym showing off his skill set, without anybody in front of him...shooting, dunking, dribbling...Even then you could see that this dude has some talent...Not to mention, #23 and #1 mixed in with it, these kids can play...Black or white, European or Asian, purple or green...If you can play, you got my respect...He has a solid chance against anybody.
Tai Senor My point is, with or without competitive "people" around, I am 100% certain he has talent...And willing to bet he plays the likes of #23 and #1 daily to sharpen his skills...Those kids are real competition.
Astronaut Sloth Beaming With American Pride USA, you mean, North Meck Vikings who are 24-1...14-0 in conference? Yeah, I am sure that seems like decent competition haha. The lone loss Gate City has encountered is from North Meck...So, back to my original post...White or Black, competition knows not of skin color
Jessi Godwin im guessing the seasons he had shaq to bail him out on every possession? 😂 either way, kobe is known for being a ball hog and a shot junky... worse than carmelo and iverson. so you really have no arguement here. kobe, for the legend that people claim him to be, is a joke...

I didn't see that at first. That's ridiculous.

#32 on the other team is nice...nothing compared to Mac, but he’s nice
Dude he’s a sophomore
Tommy McAmis my nigga I'm a fan!!
Emmah, I wasn't saying anything bad about him. Just sayin, he's nice. Keep it up Tommy.
I know I was just sayin
Why hes nothing? Bcz his name isnt mac?
Mac is so fun to watch. What a beast. Finishes against contact so well. The opposing coach was a spaz.
Bruh how you gone call him a spazz when they were giving mac superstar treatment in high school that foul at 8:00 literally no one touched mac

After hearin my song John wall you’ll b unstoppable too💯
how is the competition in his league ?
But he plays for team loaded va and still drops these numbers
Not the best, that's why he isn't ranked too high on ESPN recruits
Yeah right.
There's a reason he's only a 3 star recruit (although that's a lot better than most of the people in his age). He's good, no doubt he'd be a solid contributor for Georgetown in D1 ball, but his talents get over exaggerated because of the lack of talent in his league.
WormChemistry He's good. Point blank period. He's only 16 years old.
The coach lost his mind at 7:34
I think he has a point. That may have been a charge, but the ball was loose before there was contact, so the score should have counted.
Ad van der Meer yeah for sure. But it looked like to me that it was a blocking foul cuz the player in white wasn’t set and he turned his body. That’s what happens when playoff games are played on home floors. Benefit of the home court with the officiating
Seth Wright I legit said the same thing watching this lol
Basket doesn't count if the shooter commits an offensive foul doesn't matter if he lets it go first.
lmao
coming back after the dunk contest. MAC BEEN HIM
I'm nearly as impressed with his assists as I am with his own scoring ability.
Can a crip donate blood?
That is a hood question

So much genuine in his attitude. Like this. Look at concentration. He gives the game respect.
Who’s here after watching him play again? I really hope he makes it man. I can imagine him and lonzo killin it
3:37 All the young hooper out there need to see this. This is how you defend a fast break.
Get in front of the man with the ball, then run away and let him score.
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

3:54 that poster would have sent some gyms nuts
Nothing nah fam you saw from where he took off???!!! Even when the ball goes out of bounds he was throwing his hands to the crowd like for real
Nothing his head hit the fucking backboard gtfo that would have caused riots in chicago
Mac always has the lamest crowds
TheReal Capitao he didnt dunk on nobody
TheReal Capitao it did
I really hope Mac McClung is picked to play at the annual Ballislife game. That would be lit af.
Shoots like Steve Alford did at Indiana, attacks the rim like a young Jordan, dishes to open teammates when defense collapses on him. Legitimately gets his head rim level or better with a clear line to the basket.
That he chose to play for Pat Ewing shows he wants to be a complete player, he'll certainly be a vastly improved defensive player before he leaves.
Watching ball since 1970, this kid is special. With his small town upbringing he's like the second coming of Jerry "Zeke from Cabin Creek" West. I bet if you ask JW about this kid he will prove quite knowledgeable about him.

for the mutha fuckin WIN! 😂😂😂
