Mac McClung's name is making the rounds again after yet another stellar performance on the basketball court.

But it was again a performance of his dunking prowess as the 24-year-old won the Slam Dunk Contest for the second year in a row over the weekend.

McClung was a top prospect out of high school, but the skill never materialized while in college; he played at both Georgetown and Texas Tech.

But his insane hops earned him bids in back-to-back slam dunk competitions. His dunks went viral last year, and he won a close contest with Jaylen Brown on Saturday.

McClung's basketball legacy at this point, though, is pretty much being a G Leaguer who can jump high. And he wants to change that label.

"Obviously, I know who I am as a basketball player. I don’t think it’s over. I don’t think my basketball journey is over. I want to play in the NBA, and I believe I will," he told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

"I’m going to keep going, I’m not here to quit. This isn’t the ending chapter for me."

But if things don't go exactly how he wants, he says he'll be just fine.

"This is my human experience. I embrace it. I’m a lucky dude. I’m very blessed," he said.

With that being said, it makes sense McClung wasn't yet ready to commit to a third-straight slam dunk contest.
