The Post’s Steve Serby chatted with freshly crowned NBA Slam Dunk Champion Mac McClung of the Philadelphia 76ers.
A: Just I think people waiting outside my apartment and kinda figuring out where I live, and like asking for autographs. . . when I got off the flight, people who weren’t even in the airport were waiting… it was just like how’d they know what time I was getting in? It was just insane. And all the love has been great, but it has been a little crazy at times.
A: My first favorite underdog was Spider-Man , I know that’s a movie, but I love Spider-Man. In real life, I love Allen Iverson, I consider him an underdog. I can’t really compare anybody’s story to mine. You always think your story’s the hardest and the most difficult, so it’s kinda hard to compare or kinda think that way.A post shared by Mac McClung A: I think it used to. I think now I’m just more worried about playing the game the right way and loving the game.
A: I think that probably is an underdog quote. Every step of the way I was told I couldn’t. . .at first, I couldn’t play Division I. And then I couldn’t play high major. And then I couldn’t start – they were like, “Oh you’re not gonna actually get admitted to the high major,” and it was like, “Oh, you’re not gonna be on a good team, oh, you’re not gonna play in the NBA.” So it’s just like every time when I make you see the vision, don’t act like you saw it from the beginning.
Q: One more from Instagram five years ago: “Nobody makes it from my ends, I’m about to bust up the silence.”A: That’s a Drake song! Nobody’s really ever made it out of my city. My hometown’s a really small hometown , and I was just saying like I’m gonna be the one that made it kind of. This is really giving me some cringe moments thinking about my Instagram posts, but I was a young kid full of a lot of confidence. It‘s a big help to me just having that belief in myself.
