2. Air Gordon stole the Show
People are saying Aaron Gordon got robbed. The NBA Dunk contest was saved from life support last year when Zach LaVine gave the people what the wanted. This year the heavy favorite for the competition LaVine got a boost from the judges to edge out Gordon.
Gordon showed some excellent creativity with dunks using the mascot and a hoverboard and would have won the competition any other year. LaVine is a skywalker gliding through the air from the free throw line while Gordon was a mixture of finesse and power. This may have been the best dunk contest since Dominique Wilkins for Micheal Jordan in the 80’s. After years of the contest slowing dying Air Gordon and LaVine made sure the people got what they came for. The judges didn’t even know how to score this as they had to have a dunk off just like those to greats did back then.
The Orlando Magic have came up close in the last two dunk contests. Victor Oladipo and Gordon both lost to LaVine, I’m sure Gordon will have a shot to win it next year.
