Love this kid! Been watching him since he was a Sophomore in HS.....I was a believer then, and a believer now...never stop supporting this young man....
They are so quick to bench a white players...when in fact they have nothing but talent in white players. It's happening in college sports, the NFL and now the NBA is starting to see it's just not black athletes that are the best at sports. These are different times.
There's a lot of people who have been pulling for him since high school. People all over the country love his energy and love for the game. I wouldn't pay to watch a lot of NBA games, but if more people played as hard as he does, I'd consider going. Just fun energetic basketball. The man deserves a spot over a lot of other people. Keep balling mac
Yup. Nowadays most players skip games every week or two also, especially the highest paid ones. So you don't even know if you'll see them even if they're healthy. Crazy. Paid like half a $1M to shoot hoops for a couple hours and they can't hack it. Lol.

Me: Hey this kid Mac McClung, looks like he has real potential. Will be interesting to see what he does next year with the Lakers. Lakers: LeBron said we need to release McClung immediately! 😂🤦♂️
He is cool to wathc and I never knew until the dunk contest. The NBA is horrible to me. It's shoot 3's and do some layups until the end, then boom defense. It's like the all-star game is in reality what everyone is, but everyone hates it. It would be amazing to see all the players in their full potential with a bit of effort on the court and you don't hardly get that anymore. There are teams that go the length to be the best, but most of the top players are just chilling out and collecting their paychecks anymore.
I remember people saying he was never gonna start in college and was gonna ride the bench his whole career, now he’s in the NBA ballin. Keep grinding Mac
Man this kid is an athlete. He got hops he plays defense and he hustles He can pump life into the lineup and his dunks get the crowd involved. Watched this kid since high school Good for him
Like many here I’ve been watching him since HS, at Georgetown, his move to Texas and eventually G League. Great to see him on the court as a pro. Many said he wasn’t big enough. Proved em wrong again Mac!
His possession was key, passing looked great, his defence was steller, the 4 pointer set it up, the reverse dunk topped it off. What a debut. 100% Mac. #MacInTheNBA
I feel like he would be a good player don't avarege the most points or rebounds or anything but He has Really good Vision on the game in passing so I feel like he would be valuable for his Playmakeing Ability
@Barry Obama he did get called for 5 fouls but it was the effort that was important. the other guys were looking to score, he was doing the little stuff to help the team win. When you're a bubble player, coaches want to see a willingness in a player to what they want him to do. He does need to play defense with better control but that will happen with experience.
Whatever your opinion of his mixtape HS days or whatever else he may have picked up along the way, he made it to the NBA. He climbed the mountain and that deserves respect.
@@kjb2218 ummmmm..74% of the NBA is black..but nice try. Why are racist people like you, the way you are? This kid isn't a star, he's a new player on the roster that got 6pts and you gotta shit on him for being white? Some people just aren't happy and want to blame it on the success of others. Ill be up at 5am tomorrow grinding, and working towards my dreams. You will still be YOU.
Man I have been watching Mac since high school. Such a great journey. True story of what resilience and persistence can get you. Can’t wait to see him grow in the NBA.
I used to watch videos of this kid in HS. So glad to see he made it to the big time. I love how intense he is, how good he is, yet is still a humble young man who let's his play do his talking. I wish him nothing but the best.
I love this guys game especially his hustle and heart. He is going to be special mark my word. Best type of teammate that you want and need to win. I salute you Mac. 💯 Keep up the good play and congrads on winning rookie of the year in the G league.
Anyone here after watching McClung dominate the All-Star Dunking contest? This guy is awesome so I'm glad he's getting his time to shine. Let's go Mac McClung!
Repent to Jesus Christ “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 NIV Y
So proud of you Mac great job, your the man to rise to the NBA level , the sky is the limit! Steve from over the from your hometown in Hampton, Tennessee
FINALLY!!! The kid gets some minutes under the bright lights. I've been wanting this all year. The Lakers better appreciate what they have here. They need to stop worrying about getting old superstars and focus more on getting players that play the right way.
Great way to go into the off-season with confidence winning the G-League MVP and getting this call-up (although it did look like he tweaked his ankle or something there). People have discredited Mac from the get-go but this guy is a workhorse and has proved the haters wrong at every level so far. Wishing him much success in the NBA next year and beyond
been fan of this youngster in Gtown, he had some dope sunks i was sad to see him leave. But NBA and cant get a break but NOW the world knows him Good job kid.
Very nice player. He gives everything on the court, and even if he is short af he still wants to battle with the giants. I think he's going to be around the league for some years, specially if he develops his shooting. Nothing but love and respect for McClung !
"short af". If you believe in roster heights, Steph Curry is only one inch taller. I agree with you that he gives everything on the court, both ends. He is a breath of fresh air considering all of the players that are getting by on the eye test and not their true grit.
His speed bursts, defense and overall court awareness is on point! When they give him more playing time to get even more comfortable he will be a force for sure!
Wow the fact that they not only won and had a monster jam at the end This was the best lve seen the lakers this season they had all there talent on the bench
Nothing special. He clearly can't shoot. I don't even understand why you guys like to hype these mid level players, so when they get famous everyone hates them for their flaws...
@@damson8832 everyone doesn't need to be a star...most often contribute and hustle their ass off...if he plays like that majority of the time ...he could be a good addition✌
How can coaches not see that hustle and see what else he has to offer?? I feel like the kid gets in the zone and is really making a difference especially on defense, passing and the 3 ball not to mention he gets up for blocks, rebounds and really does it all for a little man! I sure hope he gets some games to play in and go from there
So crazy!! Was watching him on ball is life back in his HS days, glad he made it to the big times. At the rate he’s going Its safe to say he’s a modern day Jerry West that’ll dunk!
Great debut for Mac! Fantastic job getting shots for his teammates. I believe that's what coaches want him to do right now. He passed up a lot of shots he could've taken. Once he gets more experience I think the coaches will give him more freedom to shoot. He's doing everything as he should right now. He has a great attitude and a hard worker who wants to get better. Can't wait till next season. Great job Mac!
Traditionally, your PG shouldn't be scoring 25 ppg. If Mac can be more of a passer, play defense, and be comfortable being the 4th-5th scoring option, he'll stick in the league and his teammates and coaches will love him. Most NBA PGs today are more scoring guards than passers who set up easy points for their teammates. I'm still shocked how much Mac has changed his overall game the last few years.
@@bigstink9 apparently Phil Handy after summer league told him if he wants to stick in this NBA league, he's gotta develop more of a pass-first point guard mentality. That is why McClung put in all that work with SBL and became way more of a facilitator which opened up his offensive game even more. He himself said it opened soo many opportunities he didn't know he could create and that is a young player who works their ass off to get better that I see. I hope the Lakers can keep his two way contract going into next season and eventually become a main contributor off the bench!
It’s crazy how much he’s improved he’s gotten a lot stronger. I kind of felt like Texas Tech improved his defense and the in nba his offense has improved. He’s a player a team should want.
Mack is a nice who wants to get along g with everyone. He so enjoys playing ball and is making great progress with the lakers. Proud of that young man.
Great game Mac! You didn't have to shoot every time you touched the ball to make your presence known. Your points will come in time as you adjust to the speed and level of competition.
@@stevjohnsonpo he's a point guard in one of his first games in the NBA. His job is to set-up his shooters for shots, defense, take care of the ball and take shots when open. It is not to shoot a 3 every time he touches the ball. He is not a 6'9" shooting guard whose job is to score and help rebound.
I never understood how Matt got passed by so many teams for so long. Always been underrated. Imagine the work ethic to attain all he has achieved? I would love to see him at work
People saying Austin reaves is Caruso 2.0 but this kid actually fits that mold perfectly. Scrappy, athletic, aggressive, hustler.. better shooter than AC IMO
For a person like me who's never been to jump over a crédit card...this guy IS a phenomenon...but not only a dunk Wonder, every thing he does is very clean and unselfish
Great to see this ex-Red-Raider! You can tell he has really worked on all aspects of his game. (Handles, foot-speed/quickness, follow thru, minimizing turnovers). Wish him the best. I would think so darn difficult to even get a spot in the NBA, let alone play, start, allstar, championships. I am a Magic/Bird/Jordan era fan--but love how the game is always evolving/changing. Gone from a Big-Man inside game to now a Guard's game spreading the floor.
I’ve been liking this kid since high school I wish the pelicans could pick him up he will be worth it he just needs more playing time I Followed him at Georgetown And also at Texas Tech the kids can play ball
This kid is going to be great in the future, came in did the basics right, nothing flashy, team player and then shows at the end how hard he has worked to get here with that dunk! The man!
Love this kid! Been watching him since he was a Sophomore in HS.....I was a believer then, and a believer now...never stop supporting this young man....

I'm #1 fan of Mac here in the Philippines ☺️♥️🇵🇭
Nice to see the new guys shine. This team might be in some good hands next season.
Happy to see him in the league, I didn’t realize! Congrats, I hope he gets more chances
The last dunk is much better than dunk contest 2022.
This is beautiful. Good for you kid... Go Mac!
The fact The Lakers had this dude and didn't keep is a wonder in itself
Seriously. They should’ve helped this kid hone his talent. He’s gonna be a menace in a few years.
LeSteroid was probably jealous.
Great to see this ex-Red-Raider! You can tell he has really worked on all aspects of his game. (Handles, foot-speed/quickness, follow thru, minimizing turnovers). Wish him the best. I would think so darn difficult to even get a spot in the NBA, let alone play, start, allstar, championships. I am a Magic/Bird/Jordan era fan--but love how the game is always evolving/changing. Gone from a Big-Man inside game to now a Guard's game spreading the floor.
Forget the dunk this kid can play.
Highlights to b proud of by the family of Mac. God bless you man
Amazing player!!
Can you imagine Mac McClung, Alex Caruso, and Austin Reaves all on the Lakers at the same time? The universe would implode on itself.
New star born...
I knew this kid was gonna be something. I have liked him since he played high school. Definitely ordering his jersey when they come available
That was solid performance. They really only played him one game? Somebody on the upper floors doesn't like they way he looks or something.
All hustle!! Makes everyone hustle on both sides....which makes for great ball.
Here after I just watched him win the slam dunk contest.
I’ve been liking this kid since high school I wish the pelicans could pick him up he will be worth it he just needs more playing time I Followed him at Georgetown And also at Texas Tech the kids can play ball
That dunk is one of the best in the season
The angle was exquisite
This kid is going to be great in the future, came in did the basics right, nothing flashy, team player and then shows at the end how hard he has worked to get here with that dunk! The man!
