Warriors’ Draymond Green gets 100% real about Mac McClung at Dunkman

Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green knows a thing or two about elite talent, and he recognizes a special aura when he sees it.

Speaking on the broadcast panel during Shaquille O’Neal’s inaugural Dunkman World Championship event, Green got real about legendary dunker Mac McClung.

“Mac McClung has IT,” Green said during the event coverage. “Like he’s a guy who, when the stage is big, he’s just got it. Some people has it, it’s that thing you can’t explain.”

Coming from a four-time NBA champion known for his high basketball IQ, high praise like that carries serious weight. McClung has carved out an iconic reputation as one of the greatest showmen of this generation, previously becoming the first player to win three consecutive NBA Slam Dunk Contests.

Even when facing high-stakes adversity, the 6-foot-2 guard continues to leave audiences speechless. Entering the Dunkman event as the top seed in Atlanta, McClung ended up suffering a shocking early-round exit at the hands of Dengxing Chen. However, before his elimination, McClung delivered the viral highlight of the night by launching himself over a car packed with three people stacked inside to throw down an absurd finish.

While he didn’t secure the $500,000 grand prize, McClung’s flair for the dramatic proved Green’s point once again.

For McClung, who spent part of the 2025–26 NBA regular season with the Chicago Bulls, highlighted by a 13-point outing in 18 minutes of action during a 149-128 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the showmanship remains unmatched. As he prepares to take his talents overseas after signing with Spanish club Basquet Girona in Liga ACB, he leaves behind another viral chapter that reinforces his status as a big-stage performer.
