He received the 2021–22 NBA G League Rookie of the Year honor while playing for the G League's South Bay Lakers.

McClung signed a contract with the 76ers in February 2023 after playing with the Blue Coats during the 2022–2023 season. At the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, he triumphed in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

Mac McClung or James Harden height comparison

Mac McClung’s teammate James Harden stands tall at 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m or 196 cm), according to the NBA, and Mac McClung is 3 inches shorter than him.

One of the best scorers and shooting guards in NBA history, Harden is highly respected.

Harden was selected for the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021, marking his recognition as one of the best players in league history.

He helped the Thunder club win NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2012 and helped them get to the NBA Finals, where they were defeated by the Miami Heat in five games.

Harden has competed on the American national team twice, earning gold at the FIBA World Cup in 2014 and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Mac McClung's height compared to Zach Lavine

Despite not being as tall as his competitors at the NBA, McClung has made a name for himself, and in February 2023, he also won the Dunk Contest during the NBA All-Star.

Fans have always been curious about his height and his gameplay and have tended to tweet accordingly.

A user wrote, “Mac McClung what is your vertical secret? Your height is 6'2 and you have explosive hops” whereas another fan wrote, “How is Adam Lefkoe the same height as Mac McClung? Adam is 5'10'' and Mac is 6'2”"

A fan also mentioned, “My reaction after the slow motion with that height this is top draw legendary shit from Mac McClung #ATTSlamDunk #NBAAllStar.”

A fan also added, “Mac McClung doing Aaron Gordon and Zac Lavine Dunks at the same height as me is f***ing nuts...Good Dunk Contest this year only cause of him.”
