Mac could make it big overseas, or with a RUclips channel as well. But he doesn't want to sell out on what he knows he is capable of, so he dedicates all of his time into becoming an nba player that can contribute to a teams chances of winning games. He's going to see this thing through, or at least give it every shot he can. Doubted or not doubted, he can do all things through Christ who gives him strength.. 💪🏼 Hebrews 11:1 NIV Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
@@ballinforjesus3645 as a believer, I go through my doubts, and as someone who is pursuing the NBA still you gave me a lot of hope with that comment as well. So many of my friends think I should start a RUclips channel and become an influencer but Basketball is priority number one so what you said felt like you were talking to me even though you weren’t.
He seems like such a down to earth guy, really chill, knowledgable, passionate, and loves the game. i would subscribe to him asap if he made a channel. hope his career goes well, God bless him
@@nellustylejeb7210 nah, hops are like a dime a dozen in basketball in reality. There are a lot of dudes who can run fast, jump high, or go from 0-100 in the blink of an eye. Almost every single guy in the NBA is a one of a kind athlete in some capacity, what separates them and keeps them in the league is what they can actually do on the court. The average male vertical jump is around 20 inches, Steph's vertical (a player who is seen as "unathletic" by NBA standards) is 35 1/2 inches. All the great players like Jordan, Kobe, Curry, Lebron, etc. aren't great because of their athletic gifts, they're great because of their complete package of actual basketball skill and knowledge. The athletic gifts are just like a cherry on top that gives them a unique advantage, Like Steph's ability to run endlessly without breaking a sweat, Lebron's strength, or Giannis's size, but strip any of those players of their skill and they'd be nothing in the NBA. There's a reason Jordan never seemed to age, and LeBron can still play at an elite level almost at the age of 40. Even when their athletic abilities began to drop off they still had/have the skill to do whatever they want with a basketball.
@Drea yeah o thought that was cool and he obviously did this before the dunk contest and isn’t a part of the hype/ bandwagon fan out of no where. Crazy I was watching his h.s videos to college and now to this moment.
Mac is from my home town Gate City. So proud of him. We always knew he was special. Glad to see the world appreciate him. Kingsport/Gate City sending love Mac!
The NBA is absolutely mental to not have him. He’s a standup guy, good head on his shoulders, isn’t full of himself, and very talented. Hopefully someone wants to recruit him someday.
Go watch the mixtapes from “ball is life”. The guy has some great skills. There’s a reason I put that he’s very talented. He wasn’t in the right place at the right time. You get sh*t when you’re from a small town. You have to be from cities or subs from the big cities. Believe me I know how he feels on that one.
He’s so small he can’t defend a lot of players that’s his issue and unlike Allen Iverson a team isn’t going to let him take 30 shots a game to make up for his lack of defense
I get Jalen Hurts vibes from Mac mcclung. His outlook, his humbleness, his passion for hard work, his hunger, his underdog status, and his ability to grow quickly, perfect weaknesses, and baffle the doubters. And now, he's playing for Philadelphia too! Also, he broke Iverson's record in highschool so maybe philly really is the place for him to do some more exciting things? I will NOT be surprised one bit if this kid becomes an all star.
This is a real humble dude. Simple looking fella too, you wouldnt think he can jump like he can! I remember watching his documentary years ago and rooting for him. I hope he succeeds and becomes as big as he dreams!
PERFECT timing setting this interview up immediately after the dunk contest. I'm glad you didn't wait too long afterwards, like several weeks to a couple months from now to drop this. At the same time, I'm also glad that you didn't drop this interview BEFORE the official day of the dunk contest either. Great timing on this one right here! The crossover champ 🏆 interviews the dunk champ 🏆! Both of y'all are a problems on the Court. Legendary status.
It's sp dope to see Mac getting the attention he deserves. This kid has had a journey for sure.. But he never gave up, he kept working hard and now getting his just due!
He seems like he has a really good head on his shoulders and seems like a really down to Earth guy! I'm super impressed by his attitude and his mindset
Besides your crazy hoops skills you are a serious communicator in your interviews and instructional takes. No lie, you're a great listener and never leave any awkward moments. That's a gift!
The more I watch this guy the more I love his attitude and belief system! So positive and super inspirational to the youngers coming up! He has ALL the tools!! They HAVE to give him a shot!!
Amen Mac McClung!! We are rooting for you in small town America!! I teach at a small Christian high school and we have been following you and your MIX TAPES since GATE CITY!! Thank you for hosting MAC Professor, we love your content as well!!
I hope Mac stays as down to earth and humble as he is. He is being watched by young and old alike. His faith and his genuineness will make him a unique and respectable hooper. Haters will hate but those who can recognize true talent will appreciate that he has it.
He is going to make it, just don't give up Mac! So proud of this dude, been watching him since HS, and was disappointed when I stopped hearing his name when he went to the G League. Then he does amazing there (in the G League) and revives the NBA Dunk contest?? Keep it up Mac, you got this!
I stepped away from the screen and just listening to the audio for a bit. Professor you're becoming a really good interviewer! Keep pushing in that direction and you'll be great. I can see some excellent discussions and digging deep kind of podcasts once you take that plunge. Players respect you and you have a message, a brand, a following. So grow with it. The showing ball skills segments are fun, but just feel you should know you can hold your own with the talks off a court, no schticks or gimmicks needed.
I've always liked Mac as a player. His HS tapes got me hyped. Now, though, I get to see the person, and I like Mac the person too! Can't wait to see you two at Venice!
Great stuff. Glad y'all did this. Mac certainly rose to the occasion in every way possible during the dunk contest. Put the league on notice and got all the fans watching. Glad he's shining and received the NBA opportunity with Philly. Shine on Mac, God bless. I have no doubt he'll continue to rise to the occasion and lock into the NBA permanently. Philly made a smart move.
This video is why prof is the bomb. Good questions and doesn't dominate the convo. Much love Mac. Thanks for staying stateside. Keep Dunkin on fools Nate Robinson style.
MAC BEEN GOATED Shout Out BALLISLIFE for recording and posting this man’s high school games, I’ve literally watched Every MAC Vid, I think bro can def help a NBA team hopefully Philly uses him fr
Idk how he isn’t in the NBA with a solid spot. I watch him in high school and said he is easily NBA bound. Kinda crazy really. Def easily a strong 6th man
Crazy watch Mac do his thing through ball is life highlights during his h.s days to college and now this. Congrats for the dunk contest and the contract with the 76ers.
Mr. Grayson, I would appreciate it with all my heart if you could have Spanish subtitles in your videos, because my 13-year-old basketball player son and I are big fans of yours and we live in Colombia...thank you so much!!!
Great attitude and approach to life: staying ready, valuing the journey and enjoying growth along the way. This applies to more than basketball, it is life.
Great Interview. Mac is the Real Deal. Also Mac picked up quick on the tutorial...Nice fake to jumper between the legs. Would love to see him try this in a game. This was alot of fun to watch you guys play and banter.
We need a Mac McClung and Professor streetball video RIGHT AWAY😭🔥🔥
Spiderman and venom
Best profile pick ever
That’s what I thought when I saw the vid but we know it’s coming soon

Mac should have his own channel. I hope Mac has a lot of success in the NBA & it's a bonus he's humble.
Great video Professor

So this is Mac McClung !
He revived the slam dunk contest.
Definitlely made history. 👏 🏀
Bro is the dunk contest
Yeah
How revive something that’s not dead
@@kampflachs1803 it Most Certainly was dead

Super humble dude!
Been checking up on him since H.S.
Glad he shook up the world, the NBA needs more special talent!

What a nice guy, I'm so happy for him that he won the dunk contest, I hope that he will have a long career in the NBA
He needs to be given a real chance in the NBA
@@LarrySwishamane No, thinking he’s too good for millions of dollars overseas, that’s white privilege right there .
He needs to proof if he can defend or be a good shooter. Hops is overrated

Mac is a great dude with an incredible work ethic. Players like him can make the NBA fun again.
100%
I love that this was filmed before the dunk contest bc everyone is trying to get that interview for the hype & you believed in him
@Drea yeah o thought that was cool and he obviously did this before the dunk contest and isn’t a part of the hype/ bandwagon fan out of no where. Crazy I was watching his h.s videos to college and now to this moment.
actually big facts. i hadnt thought about that
This needs more views. So realistic and inspiring. Love how down to earth you both are. Makes me think my dreams are possible 😆
For sure, just as long as you are not a short white basketball player hahaha.
It's hard for all of us to believe this young man is not signed to a big contract on a team. Respectful humble. Talented. Diamond dynamic dunker.
Mac is from my home town Gate City. So proud of him. We always knew he was special. Glad to see the world appreciate him. Kingsport/Gate City sending love Mac!
The NBA is absolutely mental to not have him. He’s a standup guy, good head on his shoulders, isn’t full of himself, and very talented. Hopefully someone wants to recruit him someday.
Every reason you mentioned, about why the nba is mental for him not being in the league, has nothing to do with skill on the court.

He is white and he is short for nba standards. Sadly thats how life is now
@@elijahcantdunk being white is actually a plus for him

He's kinda like Mike Conley Jr.

I'm starting to love Mac McClung he's humble but hungry and super athletic. He was destined for greats and i'm here ready to watch him succeed.
Dude is so humble and down to earth... can't help but like him
I was an instant fan of Mac’s once I saw his high school mixtape. What a good interview by the Prof, what a good kid. Pulling for you Mac.
He seems like he has a really good head on his shoulders and seems like a really down to Earth guy! I'm super impressed by his attitude and his mindset
Dope interview! Crazy underdog story for real 🔥
Love this kid’s attitude. Hope he makes it big. He deserves it. Humble yet talented. What a player.
He will but if not, by the end of the next three years he will cross the pond and make real bank. I still believe it's NBA for him.
Mac is a real baller. Much respect. ✌️

Incredible interview, Prof! Mac is such a talent and even better attitude, rooting hard for him!
Lessons from the Professor…priceless
Great interview! It's great to see both of you getting some love for the work you have put in.
Respect to deezy for being a trainer. he takes it for the team every time and needs the respect to go with his sacrifice. Much love!

Dude has the maturity and wisdom of a 50year old retired legend... respect, he's already a star
Really great guy… have been rooting for him since high school and hope he keeps on pushing.
Mac is underrated and slept on. I think once he's given a real chance, he will surprise a lot of people.
Love seeing Mac get so much press. Well deserved!
Totally in his corner. The NBA needs players like him.
This is dope! Huge fan of both of you guys!
Professor having so much fun teaching is moves really shows how deep is love for the game is ! respect
Love this guy's vibes!!

Best interview with Mac I've seen yet... ThanX Professor
Two of my type of players in one video - humble, hard working, polite, respectful --- everything NBA culture is not. All the blessing to you guys!
I wish the best for this guy. Humble and hard working
This guy has an absolutely incredible mindset, he has wisdom beyond his years.
Hype, man!! Glad you showed the kid love deserves some
I watched Mac’s highlights since high school. His bounce been nasty. Congratulations to the young man

Professor is a GOAT, unbelievable how he’s stayed relevant and made a career out of his street ball opportunity
It got hard for him a few times along the way but heart and skills pulled him through.
Been watching this kid since he was in high school. Kid works hard hope nothing but but the best for him. Deserves a contract
I don’t think I’m alone when I say “It’s about time”. Much deserved
Truth
The duo we've all been waiting for. 😍😍

He is definitely someone that can bring excitement and fun to the game for fans.
Mac Mclung is from my home town. I watched him play in high school
The professor saying, “that’s crazy” that subtle in an impressive manner means a lot considering the dude is literally a street ball legend.
Congratulations to Mac from, Elizabethton TN. Great to see a kid from my part of the country do great things.
Amazing interview- great questions, answers and pace

Love this, thanks professor
Dude leaves the floor with serious power
What a nice young Man.
Awesome video. Awesome dudes. Both of yall man. Mac keep it up man you are so close buddy!!
God bless this humble gentleman
Idk how he isn’t in the NBA with a solid spot. I watch him in high school and said he is easily NBA bound. Kinda crazy really. Def easily a strong 6th man
This was so entertaining. Great stuff from both!
I love how he didn't want bounce the ball off his head. Mac isn't about disrespect.
He actually can shoot 3s, pass, defend also. NBA GMs are showing their true colors.
Definitely one of my favorite vids by the professor
Always a treat. I’ll be waiting on that next collab. Just need to stay healthy and enjoy the game. Thanks for sharing.
Very Humble Guy .......Great Things Ahead for him - We Wish You The Best !!!
It’s so cool seeing him now, he played with my dad in high school at Mcnary, my dad goes by CJ real name Clyde
Crazy watch Mac do his thing through ball is life highlights during his h.s days to college and now this. Congrats for the dunk contest and the contract with the 76ers.
Both of you are amazing athletes, keep.them good vibes
They should make a movie about Mac McClungs life and the state championship and include the Professor in it!!! That would be a smash hit!
Bless Up professor great video
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for the video!
This was GREAT! Really enjoyed this video!
Actually grew up with the professor who used to play with them down in Marion square park
Oooooh this boutta be fire 🔥
