The NBA All-Star weekend is in full swing and the atmosphere has been electrifying. On Day 2, fans continued the excitement but the star of the show and the one who stole the show is Mac McClung.

McElhenney, who is best known for his role as Ronald ‘Mac’ McDonald on the comedy series ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’, was one of those impressed by McClung’s display. In reference to his own role on the show, McElhenney took to Twitter. “I guess there’s another Mac in Philly now,” Rob said.

It looks like the Philadelphia-born star has welcomed the young talent to ‘The City of Brotherly Love’. McClung’s performance was all the more impressive given that he is the first player from the Philadelphia 76ers to win the Slam Dunk Contest. This feat came just a few days later after Mac signed a two-year contract with the 76ers on February 14th.
