Having Shaq don a Gate City jersey and dunking over him. Way to go Mac!

Never in a million years about 7 years ago would I have considered Mac would have become so popular that one day, Shaq would don a Devils Jersey and have Mac dunk over him. This is when you know.....Mac has made it, regardless of whether he plays a full season in an NBA jersey. He's made it in my opinion and hell be talked about in homes in SWVA 50 years from now for what he's done . Well done McClung!

Conflict of interest - Shaq owns many Five Guys restaurants. 
 

if you want a wild rabbit hole to go down, google what all companies Shaquille O’Neal has ownership in. It includes The General & Brooks Brothers, as well as the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s likeness, plus countless other things you probably wouldn’t expect.

They also say he owned part of The Cricket in Pocahontas before its demolition.

No offense to the person indicated on the sign but when you come into Gate City on the bridge off the highway..... and up on the right when you see a sign that says Gate City Home of ________________  the state Attorney General.  That tells you all you need to know about Gate City.  This person was the state attorney general for three years from 2002 to 2005.  Nearly 20 years ago.  Mac is now a back to back NBA Dunk Contest Champion.... once the all time leading scorer in the state of Virginia.  Yes he has his initals and number on the high school court....but that should have been done.  He helped pay for it out of sales of his jersey!   You would think after ALL of the exposure the town has received nationally from this.... they would do something for him.  By now anyway.   Name a street after him.  Put up a sign or something honoring him.  At least Kingsport..... on each end of the city limits each and west.......they have signs up honoring their state championship teams.  Do you know how impressive it would be to see signs beside the road from the city limits leading all the way up to the school honoring ALL of our state championship teams?  You would think a town who prides itself on its athletic achievements would show more pride in publically honoring them.  I mean...if anyone is bringing in business (as far as consumer buying) to Scott County these days. it is definitely its athletic teams.  Thank God we have that. If we didn't buisnesses around here would go broke.
