NBA Magic player McClung completed an unprecedented three-game slam dunk contest on the 16th, and the interesting thing is that because McClung is not a player who stands firm in the NBA, he plays more often in the development league, so his slam dunk prize money far exceeds the income of the guaranteed contract in the NBA.

According to Spotrac, McClung won the Slam Dunk Contest three times in a row, with a jackpot of about $310,000, more than his income on an NBA guaranteed contract, for a total of about $130,000 in an NBA guaranteed contract.
However, "Front Office Sports" pointed out that such a income gap does not take into account the two-way contract, according to the regulations, the two-way contract amount is half of the minimum salary of the rookie, about $578,000, McClung has signed a two-way contract with the Lakers and 76ers in the past, but the contract has never been a full season.
McClung played for the Magic on a two-way contract this season, and Front Office Sports pointed out that if McClung can complete this contract, his career contract income will exceed the Slam Dunk prize for the first time.
McClung has only played five NBA games in his career, and has only played five minutes for the Magic this season, spending most of his time in the Development League, accumulating 14 games this season, leaving 17.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
