This year’s dunk contest winner Mac McClung of the 76ers found himself under a different kind of pressure to the basketball court on Friday in Philadelphia – working the counter of a fast food restaurant during the lunch rush. To the delight of fans queuing out the door, McClung took orders, served up chicken fingers and occasionally dunked a ball into a mini basketball net at a Raising Cane’s in the city.
“It’s been a blur, I feel like I’ve been running around everywhere but it’s really been a blessing and I’m just trying to have fun with it.” By winning the dunk contest, McClung joined an elite club of former champions containing some of basketball’s legendary figures including Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins. “I don’t think it’s set in, the players I’m going to be associated with for the contest,” McClung said.
