Fans can't hold it as Jonathan Majors is awed by Mac McClung's ferocious dunk but Lisa Leslie gives him a 49: "Lisa will not be returning next year"

Mac McClung kept things rolling in the second round as he threw down an absolute monster of a dunk. However, with Lisa Leslie giving him only 49 points for the dunk, American actor Jonathan Majors and other NBA fans couldn't believe their eyes.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Mac McClung has already seemed like the most likely winner for the AT&T Slam Dunk contest. After throwing a monster dunk in the first round, however, the guard followed it up with another massive jam in the second round.

Although he managed to record a perfect score in the first round, McClung wasn't fortunate enough to repeat the same score in the second round.

The guard threw down an extremely impressive 360 reverse dunk from the baseline that had fans jumping out of their seats. Although most of the judging panel were enamored by the display as well, Lisa Leslie was apparently not as impressed.

Lisa Leslie, the first woman to ever dunk in the WNBA, was the only judge on the panel to not give McClung a perfect 50 for his dunk in the second round.

American actor Jonathan Majors was in attendance for the Slam Dunk contest. With Antman: Quantumania's Kang the Conqueror also joining the fans in their disappointment at Leslie's scoring, we take a look at the reaction of some of the fans on Twitter:

Mac McClung saves the AT&T Slam Dunk contest

After an impressive second-round overall, Mac McClung and Trey Murphy III face off in the finals of AT&T Slam Dunk contest. With McClung and Murphy turning up the heat, we continue to follow the new and exciting iteration of the Slam Dunk contest.

Although the final round was hard fought and saw some impressive dunks by Murphy, McClung just established himself in a league of his own.

After throwing down two more showstopping dunks, McClung rightfully earned himself the win. More importantly, though, he may have just saved the Slam Dunk contest.

McClung certainly earned his flowers after this display. Needless to say, judges and fans alike will hope to see the 76ers guard back in the dunk contest next year.
