Ex-Rutgers commit Mac McClung wins slam dunk contest
- Thread starter Rutgers85_rivals
- Start date
Shouldn’t make or ruin anyone’s day here but surely is noteworthy considering the attention it’s getting on a very slow sports weekendWhy do people keep posting about this guy?
What happened with him? Did he not get along with Caleb, Mathis, etc.? That was a weird time in RU basketball history. Crazy what has happened to Georgetown since.
Him not coming here might have been one of the most important moments in Rutgers basketball history (at least in this era).
How pathetic. A bunch of NBA players with their stupid smart phones out filming the dunk contest to put on snapchat or whatever, instead of living in the moment. They look like a bunch of teenage girls.
I don’t think he would have been a good fit PLUS who knows what the future roster would have looked like.
And typing away on a Rutgers mag board is living the moment? Get off my lawn!!!!
Georgetown and TT fans might care, but this RU fan can only say nice for him but his accomplishments or failures have more to do with the schools I mentioned than
any Rutgers connection.
As for how he would have fit at RU if he stayed committed, no one can say.
He didn't stay at Georgetown (2 years) he might not have been happy at RU and
found a new home.
He lasted one year at TT before entering portal and declaring for draft after one season
Stayed in draft. went undrafted and signed as a free agent .
Mainly playing in the G-League the last 2 years

Rutgers and Georgetown. Two programs heading in different directions. And at different levels of college basketball .. and not the way you might think
His scholarship went to Caleb
If I am at an event I don't have my phone out next to everyone else who also has their phone out to film a ****** view of something happening. What a terrible comparison.
Sneaker technology sure has come a long way since the 70’s.
They should be forced to wear Yeezys.

We ll all find out when his soon to be autobiography is published.
I do remember him however at that midnight madness event and he was very subdued sitting next to Montez and Harper I believe.
Think he reneged on the commitment when he saw Peter Kiss win our slam dunk contest
Given his history since his de-commit seems we got the better of the deal - no way the kid would have stuck around and the made the overall contribution as Caleb
So, yeah, overall a net positive
But still not sure how it’s remotely close to “one of the most important moments in Rutgers basketball history” even in the pike era.
G-Leauge Rookie of the Year last year and now Slam Dunk Champ - nice little resume. Not that it'll help him make an actual NBA roster but nice way to get his name out there.
I recorded the event and haven't watched yet.
Was he really that great though? I've been kind over the dunk contest for many years now. Just hard to amaze at this point.

When Rutgers retires Geo Baker’s number, we should have a dunk contest featuring Mac McClung, Waliyy “Main Event” Dixon, Charles Jones, Dahntay Jones, Sam Sanders, Corey Chandler and Jacob Young.
Then we can have a 3 point contest featuring Mike Rosario, Luis Flores, Calvin Wooten, Eli Carter, Nigel Johnson, Peter Kiss and Montez Mathis.
Lastly, we’ll wrap up with Tim Thomas, Troy Murphy, John Celestand, Lance Thomas and Jay Williams for a lifetime un-achievement awards, during which the alumni section will politely golf-clap appreciation in recognition that we no longer give any craps about them now that we know what makes a true Rutgers Legend.

Saw a clip of a young woman and former social media addict telling Congress (or Senate, I forget) how bad it is.. and all I kept thinking was why pay any attention to what people on social media say? Why destroy social media simply because YOU could not control yourself or what strangers on social media said about you? This woman is still seeking attention from the masses for some reason. As are those NBA players and a whole bunch of Americans.
One of the best things this board ever did was to get rid of those star-ratings. The "likes" are bad enough.
Phil Knight stole the show when Lebron passed Kareem for the NBA all time scoring record.
Just casually sitting there taking it in. No phone in sight.
