During the apex of Riff Raff's career in the entertainment industry, he dropped a bevy of freestyle raps and social media posts based on the somewhat whimsical claim that he could have played ball for a litany of professional sports teams such as Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders, Dallas Mavericks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and more. But, through the midst of the puns, maybe Riff Raff was on to something. It appears that athleticism runs deep in his blood. He's related to Seth McClung, a former pitcher with the Milwaukee Brewers and current NBA slam dunk Champion Mac McClung. Footage of Riff Raff playing basketball indicates that his skills as a three-point shooter are nothing to scoff at, but they pale in comparison to the leaping ability of his baby cousin, Mac. Upon winning the Slam Dunk Contest during NBA All-Star weekend, the former G-League player (and current Philadelphia 76er) gained over 100K followers on Instagram, making him a household name over the weekend. The name Mac McClung might be new to the mainstream, but Riff Raff has been boasting about his cousin's potential for years. Back in 2021, the rapper compared Mac to Dwyane Wade during an interview with TMZ.
The 6'3 Mac McClung notched a perfect score with a 720 dunk en route to securing a win in Saturday night's highly anticipated competition. Afterward, the little-known tidbit about the bloodline between him and Riff Raff went viral.
