Dunk by McClung on Ridgeview. You have got to see it. Between the legs.

[lucustookis]

GC up 74-46 on Ridgeview at the end of 3. I'm watching on Ballislife livestream. McClung has 40 points at the end of 3, but he had one of the sickest dunks I've ever seen at the High School Level. I'm sure you will see the clip. This one will be shown many, many times. It has to be his best High School Dunk. There's just no way to top something like that.

 

[lucustookis]

GC up by 31, McClung, Ervin, and Dean all pulled with around 6:30 minutes to 6:00 minutes left, and in my opinion, very reasonable. You have got to let the kids play at least 3 quarters, and he gives a couple minutes in the fourth, then out. I would do the exact same thing. McClung finished with 43 or 45 points. I'm not sure.

I've seen a lot of dunks at the high school level over the years and this one tops them all. To do it in a game and pull it off is amazing.

 

[lucustookis]

I just can't believe a guy 6'1 or 6'2 at most (being generous) he's probably 6"1 at most, but can't believe he can elevate like that.

[lucustookis]

That's the damndest thing I've seen this year on the court. He just doesn't have the height to do that, or at least, he shouldn't be able to do that. That's absolutely sick.

 

[pizzzzza]

And then he just skips up the court.............

 

[REDDEVILS00]

Wow! That kid is special that’s got to make sportcenter top ten

 

[pizzzzza]

Even Sports Illustrated Twitter Account has the video.....

McClung is one heck of a player. I've said since the beginning of the season that Gate City is the team to beat in 2A. But, I don't like the showboating this time. I am definitely pulling for whoever (Radford, Dan River, Martinsville, Graham) to knock GC out in the states and send him skipping back home. And if Lee and GC would happen to meet again this season, I hope Vaughan slams a few in a repeat of last season's outcome.

 

[DanvilleSportsHead]

People praise LeBron at 6’8 doing this...This kid is 6’1 doing this! I don’t care if he’s playing against the Wytheville Elders Association, that’s IMPRESSIVE!

There’s Baker Mayfield cockiness and then there’s having fun like Mac is. This young man is a baaaaaad dude.

 

[lucustookis]

I agree. I don't think he showboated. That's a monumental moment for any player and that play is something this kid has tried to achieve for probably a long time and he pulled it out. I think they should have rang the dang buzzer and called a game stoppage for the fans to get their breath. That was an absolutely wicked dunk.

Haters gonna hate....Life goes on...ObLa Di Ob La Da......Kids gonna be Kids....appreciate, acknowledge the young man’s talent and enthusiasm and move on.

Yep gonna skip straight to Division 1 Georgetown. How many kids from any of those schools can say that? Zero...

Not to be an a hole, but I've read that the Martin kid from Graham is getting Div 1 -small mid major looks like Radford, Richmond, etc.

I don't have a passionate dislike for McClung. Rooting for some other team to win because of my perceived showboating in this game does not mean I hate him or Gate City.

 

[2up2downNole]

Very impressive, i remember seeing tyler crawford of Lee do this years ago. He was a hoya as well.

 

[eh31]

Other plays from the game vs. Ridgeview... crazy that Ridgeview actually led 20-15 after 1 quarter

 

[sharkfan83]

This Dunk made the #2 on SCTop10 plays tonight

 

[REDDEVILS00]

You got to love it why not showboat nothing wrong with that senior year gotta have fun this is a special kid with amazing dunks and I’m on the GC & MCclung band wagon and hope to see them in Richmond I see on a lot of social media SITES people being negative towards him doubters that’s real hate but there looking past the bigger picture he’s going to Georgetown for and education as well he’ll be fine let the man shine!!!!! I’m a 1A guy but follow a little of 2A

I know, right. We were celebrating as if we won the state title. Was hoping they'd call it right then and there. Lol

 

[AntGZee]

That dunk was shown on ESPN ( Highly Questionable ) 2day.

 

[AntGZee]

Greatest dunker ever??? Com'on let's be real now.

 

[lucustookis]

He's certainly not the greatest dunker ever. That would be hyperbole and then some. What he is.........for a 6'1 guard, he's among the best ever in Virginia for that height at dunking the basketball. Again, certainly not the best ever in VA, but for a 6'1 height and below, he's probably top 3. Keep in mind, Michael Porter from Pulaski back in the 80s won the National High School All American Dunk Contest in San Antonio in 1986ish. Porter was a High School All American and 5'11, and went on to play at St Johns in the old Big East and started three years. He could jump plum out of the gym, and he has a trophy against the best competition to show for it.

 

[AntGZee]

I do remember Mr. Porter.

1985 had three McDonald's All-Americans from Virginia. All of them right off I81, Walker Lambiotte (Central-Woodstock), Kevin Madden (R.E.Lee-Staunton), and Michael Porter (Pulaski). Porter won the dunk contest at the Capital Classic, then repeated at Dallas in the McDonald's two weeks later. Lambiotte was named MVP for the game, scoring 24 points. Both the dunk contest and game can be seen on YouTube.

I remember Lambiotte well, and of course, I remember Kevin Madden in High School, and followed him closely at UNC of which he was a stud and All-ACC and honorable mention All-American.

Lambiotte and Madden battled in the Valley District. The scoring title went to the last game, with Madden finishing on top, 28.1 to 28.0 per game. Madden started three seasons at UNC, but J.R.Reid was the main man. Madden's junior season, Reid got injured and Madden led the team in scoring until Reid returned late in the season. That was when Madden was 2nd team all-ACC and HM all-american. Madden blew out his knee right after UNC upset #1 Oklahoma in the NCAA tournament his senior season.Took him a year or so to recover, and cost him his chance to be drafted in the NBA.

Calvin Talford won an NCAA slam dunk contest IIRC and he played in Castlewood.

Before my time but they have a GREAT documentary on YouTube about Talford and his successful career at Castlewood and ETSU. Shame he hurt his knee.

 

[lucustookis]

Talford was well about 6'1. I think he was 6'3, no doubt Telford was a great dunker and player, and he had an insane vertical, he was well above 6'1. I was referring to players 6'1 or less and their dunking skills.

 

[toughy299]

Nothing against the dunk and McClung but it's still only worth 2 points. Give me JJ Reddick and long ball all day.

 

[they call me tater salad]

Maybe we say he is the greatest dunker between 6 feet half inch and 6 feet one and a quarter who is white and plays point guard. Who else compares??
