ya but he's to short and slow for the way he plays against good players unfortunately..some people commented he has a few D1 offers from small schools, i am surprised that..he is only in grade 11 though so he prob will end up about about 6'6 but he's pretty slow and not althetic, fundamentally sound though
and num 10 was alot more althetic, but that was crazy the block mac had on his dunk attempt though i dont think he got high enough there to dunk what he was drying.
Congrats Mac and Gate City. Been fun watching him since summer ball and throughout his HS teams season. Great jobs boys. Forever legends in Gate City Va
I’ve watched all the greats in their high school years. Forget the fact that Mac broke Allen Iverson’s Virginia State Scoring record or Kobe Bryant’s National record. His skill set for a 17/18 year old boy is the best I’ve ever seen! He literally destroyed an extremely good Old Dominion commit who is 4 inches taller than him and against the second best team in the state broke the finals scoring record! Imagine if he grew 2 more inches?
Darius Harris well good. That doesn’t add or subtract credibility or truth from the statement. He was being objective. And it is possible that Chris is better than number 10, it is also possible that number 10 is better than Chris. Because you don’t know Chris you don’t know how good he is. Also number 10 really isn’t that good. The reason I say so is because he got frustrated when his shots weren’t going in, so he took more and more shots which kept missing making him angrier and angrier. This is what caused him to commit the cheap shots and fouls. He was mentally prepared to play.
There's more than one championship in the Vhsl, schools are categorized based on enrollment into classes 1-6. Gate City is a class 2 so they wouldn't even be in a league with games against the biggest schools, with more students and better basketball players. With VA sports each class will have individual playoffs through conference, regionals, and to state with 6 different championships, one for each school classification.
Mac McClung is the TRUTH! I GUARANTEE y'all he will not just be a HS Legend, he will be a great player at Georgetown and will be a nice role player in the NBA! Mark it down! He has got it ALL! I've never seen anything like him in my life! Absolutely UNREAL! I am so happy for him, Zac, Bradley, Coach V and the rest of the guys! What a tremendous accomplishment! Who would have ever thought that our little hometown & school of Gate City, VA would be known NATION WIDE! Thank you for everything you have done Mac! I'm gonna miss you bro! #StateChamps #TheRoadIsOver #WeAreGC #GoBigBlue #Devils #FearTheFork
odds are he won't make it to the nba. wish him the best though, but the jump to D1 is one thing; to the NBA is another. then, there's the nba western division, circa 2018. for guards, there's never been anything like this - curry, westbrook, harden, lillard, paul....
good points however for instance, Tobias Harris. He's my literal next door neighbor in NY, I'm a bit older than him but one of my best friends became assistant coach for our HS bball team when Tobias was in HS playing... this was 10+ years ago however he was slow, not strong, chubby, had some hype yet me who played basketball thought he was so overrated... He has emerged into an amazing player, crazy skill and work ethic, hit a growth spurt and had the right training in TN.... Mac is only 17 years old, I think he can and will develop into something special.. Sometimes we forget how young these kids are , and even for ourselves, thinking back some tie ago seeing our growth, progress etc in our own ways.. It can happen, I'm a believer, Mac will hopefully make it!
I grew up near where this kid plays. Its really awesome to see such an amazing talent with mad skills become such a phenom. I just can't believe no SEC schools tried to recruit him. He is basically in TN's backyard and just a short drive from VT and UVA, not to mention 3.5 hours from Lexington KY which is where I now reside. KY could use a player like him, someone that will stick around for at least 2-3 years and plays like one of KY's greats Jeff Sheppard. I wish Mac the best at GTown, will be watching him closely. Congrats to Gate City for winning the State Championship.
Rajon Rondo, Jason Williams, Allen Iverson... I see these influences in Mac's game, and more. He not only works hard but he studies his mentors hard as well.
i agree but on everyone of his videos i always see people saying " oh he isnt playing any black folks," and shit like that. Just recognize the fact that the kid is good and can ball with most people
It will be interesting to watch him play at Georgetown. We are Xavier season ticket holders and can't wait till he comes to Cincinnati to see him play. in person. His jjumping ability and skill set are off the chart. I'm very surprised he did not have more D1 offers.
krmaguire funny how people have to throw “literally” in there though. Just like “low key” or whatever the trendy valley girl phrase is. Mac McClung = White Iverson
He’s got a good time where everyone attacks the basket plus they play at their pace speeding up when they want to never letting there opponents dictate how they play.
Damn I’m jealous. Good for him. I like how this kid handles game flow. Doesn’t complain about calls. Just goes out there, beats every 1 on 1 defense, creates turnovers and wins.
I see so many, "he won't start at Georgetown, or "he wont make the NBA" at least he has talent. Learn to appreciate talent. 9/10 these guys hating didn't have a basketball career, or went D3 and all of a sudden they're scouts for NBA teams
That hug at 13:14 gave me goosebumps. I know that's a hell of a feeling, their whole little town is behind that basketball team. They did it got Gate City
Folks with the most views on RUclips aren't necessarily the best guys. Think about all those videos and only a handful made the league or were top dogs in college.
TheLfunk77 I'm not saying dudes an NBA superstar or whatever but he clearly dominates in his state yet he is number 9, and he clearly isn't mediocre but whatever
jo23bulls you can be a top HS recruit and not make it to the league but for me this guy being ranked 9th in his state and having a scout grade of 79 is a joke
First it was "he's playing small white boys lol" then "he doesn't play against black players" then "doesn't play real competition" then he wins state "it's Virginia lol". Just admit you're racist. If he was black none of y'all would question his skill set or competitiveness and straight meat ride him. It's very obvious and pathetic. Stop it.
And your saying that only black players are good at basketball, you sir are just racist and you base your thinking off of stereotypes, and everyone that liked your comment is just another racist stereotypical person
Krismelo Porthony But all those things are true lol. Virginia isn’t ny, Cali, Texas, Florida, Indiana, Michigan etc. and this is coming from someone who thinks MAC is good .
would been good to see him vs shadow mountain i say them because they arent a HUGE team so more evenly matched and they have guards that can play defense
He has all the skills. I can't believe he wasn't even in the McDonald's game and is ranked so low. In the Ball is Life All American game he stood out. He will be a great college player and will be an NBA player too. His game is pretty complete and he has the athleticism to compete with bigger guys.
LeBron James nowadays the nba is all black... think about the last fully white dude to be a mvp contender. Black people been dominating the nba and I have no problem with it but you rarely see white dudes hooping like these Mcclung and herro etc
Let stats speak. Not to mention the 41 percent 3 or over 54 percent from field. Just add hops for fun.. Did i mention he scored more than iverson ralf sampson moses molone and alonzo morning and brike jj reddick final record??? Ill go with that bro
If Mac stays hungry and healthy, my boy will be in the League in a few years. Give him some time in the college game. His jumper is already sweet, his defense should get better, he can jump out of the gym, and he’s got heart & hustle. Can’t wait to see him play for Ewing next season.
Whoever 23# is helped this team all year Mac is the leader but this kid is like the backbone
zac ervin!!
Sad to see everyone high school career end, Zion now McClung. High school legends forever
Caught a body in a state championship game?!?! I’m doneeee. This guy is unbelievable, wishing you the best Mac.
This comment aged really well, now bro is the savior of the dunk contest
23's just not flashy... fundamentally, that young-fella is sound....23 would be #10 if he were on the other team... #Pippen
ya but he's to short and slow for the way he plays against good players unfortunately..some people commented he has a few D1 offers from small schools, i am surprised that..he is only in grade 11 though so he prob will end up about about 6'6 but he's pretty slow and not althetic, fundamentally sound though
and num 10 was alot more althetic, but that was crazy the block mac had on his dunk attempt though i dont think he got high enough there to dunk what he was drying.
He's more athletic than people think too. He's 6'4" and can dunk easily but he doesn't need the ball in his hands much
Zack had a great game definitely helpeMac get that W love reading u haters say where he's going to school, #keyboardballers
Hes like a good Dan majerle or Mike dunleavy Jr. He could be an asset for sure for a D1 team. Still hes only 16-17yrs old.
Props to the composition. Fantastic quick and smooth zooming at high and close speed is not as easy. Good job CamMan.
Joey Nice 🤙🤙🤙
Joey Nice way better than overtime’s shitty editing
Virginia seriously needs a better state championship trophy than that. It looks like an elementary school festival trophy.
Reading Through History n
Fr
Reading Through History yea know shit! Lol
yeah, that state trophy trash.
It’s probably small like that because it’s Class 2A. Smaller schools.
Or maybe it’s just a Virginia thing. Not sure.
Can't believe he blocked that 6'8 dudes dunk like that. My man stood under the rim and said what's good bruh I'm a point guard.
The boy ain't scared for sure. That'll get him dunked on at the next level, but I don't think he'll care really.
What do you call 11:47 then hater?
bmx7596 the ball him the rim dumbass😂
Pause it at 11:50. Whiteboy got higher. We’re evolving
i was at the game😂 jarvis, #10 got rim stuffed, mac did not block it
Congrats Mac and Gate City. Been fun watching him since summer ball and throughout his HS teams season. Great jobs boys. Forever legends in Gate City Va

That's why he's in the G league and not starting in the NBA his shot gets blocked too much
what a blast to watch play in person. 2A state champ selling out a good D1 gymnasium
Aye Mac is just nasty. That block broke number 10 soul. Lol
young bakersfield i’m watchin again but if you put it in slow mode he ain’t get blocked, he got rim stuffed lol
Number 10 tryna build a house. Bricks.
Chris Ramsay holy shit it's the legend Chris Ramsay lol fancy seeing you here that's rad !
IM FUCKING DEAD LMAOOOOOOOOO
Deserve top comment.

I have enjoyed watching your play all year Mac - congrats on the ship and good luck at G-town!

Congrats to Mac and the team and coaches. Forget the comparisons he is an amazing player look forward to seeing him in college
Way to go gate city proud of u all mac ur a beast lv watchn u play on here as we can c more is to come
Happy for those guys they worked hard for that championship
And 3 years later this is still one of the greatest performances in the history of the sport
History right here.. kudos Mac👍🏼
23 is a beast. Kid plays big under the basket and gets out on the break.
Name?
@@comunicazionemultimediale2242 zac ervin he played at Elon
3:41 AMAZING FINISH they blew the whistle twice cause he got fouled twice AND still made it
Uh no it was for the same contact
This Kid can ball!! Cant wait to see him play with the big dogs..
His quick takes it to the hole easy and can shoot three's .. impressed.
You do the best editing man. Thanks for all the work you put into this
Rajon Rondo, Jason Williams, Allen Iverson... I see these influences in Mac's game, and more. He not only works hard but he studies his mentors hard as well.
Mclung really humiliated number 10 the whole game
i dont care what his rank is or how good the competition is, 11:48 is all i need to see to show that he's NBA ready
ball is life game is going to be super lit.
Mac ended the season with 2,812 points!!! This kid is a top player for sure!!! Mac cant be beat!!!
Who cares that he is white? Any ball player will respect the fact that he gots game. #Hooper
from what I see, mainly blacks. idk why, im sure a decent amount are trolls though.
Fax
ASAP HOOPS you speak truth, some people just got real insecurities though
i agree but on everyone of his videos i always see people saying " oh he isnt playing any black folks," and shit like that. Just recognize the fact that the kid is good and can ball with most people
ASAP HOOPS facts
It will be interesting to watch him play at Georgetown.
We are Xavier season ticket holders and can't wait till he comes to Cincinnati to see him play. in person.
His jjumping ability and skill set are off the chart. I'm very surprised he did not have more D1 offers.
The whole team played together. Love it.
Left hand behind the back double clutch left hand jelly kiss off the glass and one! Who says he can only go right?
Man two alley-oops in one game..and one of them going reverse! Sick. And that block though..
He's gonna have a great career
I can't wait to see him in Hoyas. Wishing him all the success there, in a team traditionally known for their legendary centers.
Mac McClung reminds me of a young Jordan. That's high praise!
so happy for this guy
Mac McClung = literally the _white Iverson_
LeBeautiful g
Worrrd 😭😭😭
That’s a misuse of literally. But yup!
Maybe D.Lil? Might not have AI's handles...yet...
krmaguire funny how people have to throw “literally” in there though. Just like “low key” or whatever the trendy valley girl phrase is.
Mac McClung = White Iverson
Interesting to see him in 1.5 years from now. U have to guard him to his right; force him right. But good luck. Seems like a great young kid
23 was the most impressive to me... Great defense, scoring in transition, court awareness
This kid has a bright future in Basketball.
Straight bodied number 10 😂😂💀
He’s got a good time where everyone attacks the basket plus they play at their pace speeding up when they want to never letting there opponents dictate how they play.
Can't wait till the ballislife mixtape there always hella fire
Damn I’m jealous. Good for him. I like how this kid handles game flow. Doesn’t complain about calls. Just goes out there, beats every 1 on 1 defense, creates turnovers and wins.
Both sides played as a team gotta love it
I was at this game, mac is the real deal, one of the most exciting players man, all those people there for just one dide
Everytime I watch a mac mclung video I’m more impressed by 23
I like Mac McClung. I hope he gets it done at the college level and beyond.
Other team had some problems guarding number 0. He pretty good
I see so many, "he won't start at Georgetown, or "he wont make the NBA" at least he has talent. Learn to appreciate talent. 9/10 these guys hating didn't have a basketball career, or went D3 and all of a sudden they're scouts for NBA teams
Good shit congrats Mac🙏🏼🙏🏼
lmao the guy in the blue at the end
Legend indeed.
Wow! Can’t wait to see McClung dominate in college. May even be one and done. We’ll see. Great job to his team for snatching their title.
My boy 23 is low key nasty and he doesn't get enough love!
Crowds reaction had me cracking up right here man 9:38
My mans like "raise the roof"
How tall is Mac? Anyone know?
6'2/6'3 with shoes. Good height for a PG
Not tall enough.
Dre Drexler??
@codyko
@@nkyryry he’s 6,2 that’s tall enough if u ask me
That entire team kicks ass.
That hug at 13:14 gave me goosebumps. I know that's a hell of a feeling, their whole little town is behind that basketball team. They did it got Gate City
How can this kid be ranked so low? Not in the top 100 but also he is 9 in his state...
sh372 cuz ranking is mostly hype and filled with players like Zion Williamson, he may make ball is life all American
Cuz hes mediocre
Folks with the most views on RUclips aren't necessarily the best guys. Think about all those videos and only a handful made the league or were top dogs in college.
TheLfunk77 I'm not saying dudes an NBA superstar or whatever but he clearly dominates in his state yet he is number 9, and he clearly isn't mediocre but whatever

If he was black none of y'all would question his skill set or competitiveness and straight meat ride him. It's very obvious and pathetic. Stop it.
... bru its not that deep honestly you thinking too hard
And your saying that only black players are good at basketball, you sir are just racist and you base your thinking off of stereotypes, and everyone that liked your comment is just another racist stereotypical person
Wtf is you saying? This the main reason racism still exist yall complicate things too much
Krismelo Porthony But all those things are true lol. Virginia isn’t ny, Cali, Texas, Florida, Indiana, Michigan etc. and this is coming from someone who thinks MAC is good .
Noah Gist he’s not saying that at all lmao. He’s saying that the people who hate on him are most likely racist
I think the other team had a white guy so we better not give Mac any credit for this game either.
Shoutout Mac McClung. Put him up against any high school players and I'd put my money on him. Alot of heart and raw talent
would been good to see him vs shadow mountain i say them because they arent a HUGE team so more evenly matched and they have guards that can play defense
I loved your coverage of him all year. Sad to see it end ❤️❤️❤️
I hope everyone involved had a Most Excellent Adventure!...Party On Dudes!
this kid will most definitely be in the pro's🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He has all the skills. I can't believe he wasn't even in the McDonald's game and is ranked so low. In the Ball is Life All American game he stood out. He will be a great college player and will be an NBA player too. His game is pretty complete and he has the athleticism to compete with bigger guys.
dude gotta give #23 he's also a legend for that game he played
Color doesn't matter he's a great player. I wonder how it will transition to the next level.
@11:47 for the sick block
shout out to the white boys tho
Derek Owens it ain’t even matter if they white
LeBron James nowadays the nba is all black... think about the last fully white dude to be a mvp contender. Black people been dominating the nba and I have no problem with it but you rarely see white dudes hooping like these Mcclung and herro etc
LeBron James if a team with a starting 5 white boys won the nccaa tourney .... then would it matter?
Jake N that’s facts. The last white dude to win mvp was Steve Nash and that was over a decade ago
Steve Nash won 2 straight MVPs with Kobe and LeBron in the league. Pure white boy
Absolute beat down!
Good game Gate City.. Heads up LEE HIGH! Nothing to be ashamed of.
He can ball!!! They whole squad is nice
Can't wait til' he gets to Georgetown. We need help badly. (Big Hoyas and Patrick Ewing Fan).
jesusneverexisted300 he's going to duke I thought
first white boy in long time ..
#23 balled out
Overtime video is better and I can't wait to see how Mac does at Georgetown.
Idk how 23 Be finishing at the rack at 1000000 miles an hour 😂😂
Let stats speak. Not to mention the 41 percent 3 or over 54 percent from field. Just add hops for fun.. Did i mention he scored more than iverson ralf sampson moses molone and alonzo morning and brike jj reddick final record??? Ill go with that bro
He needs to be in the ballislife dunk contest and all american game
That’s what’s up well deserved win boys....
when Macs first bucket is a behind the back AND1 lay up.. I knew it was over
Watching this kid all season has been better than Game of Thrones and March Madness put together. haha
why are these post for gate city so fundamentally amazing
Legend
U know u early when best quality is 360p, and who else is Australian here?
he jumps so delicately
They are really Feaking these boys with the layups
that full court pass though at 10:01 accurate as hell
OSN Need to watch this!!
This kid reminds me so much of D Rose in high school.
#1 and #23 both had good games again.
If Mac stays hungry and healthy, my boy will be in the League in a few years. Give him some time in the college game. His jumper is already sweet, his defense should get better, he can jump out of the gym, and he’s got heart & hustle. Can’t wait to see him play for Ewing next season.
He might be one and done. Or 2 years. Cant see more than that his body is already ready
Y’all need to make a video on number 23 on Mac McClung team
His cousin is the white rapper but I forgot his name he used to be on a reality tv show and then he blew up with some unique rap songs.
