Aaron Gordon, the talented NBA player, has made a name for himself with his incredible dunks. In a recent game, he took his skills to the next level by throwing down a dunk over the opposing team's mascot. This dunk was nothing short of spectacular and left the crowd in awe. The play started with Gordon receiving a pass near the three-point line. With lightning-fast speed and agility, he drove towards the basket, leaving defenders trailing behind him. As he soared through the air, he elevated to an unbelievable height, defying gravity.
A 360 dunk is impressive by itself. But a 360 dunk by someone who’s 5-foot-6?
While the jam didn t look all that spectacular in real-time, the slo-mo replay showed just how cool of a maneuver it was as Green blew out the candle mid-dunk. While being able to clear Fall would be impressive, Gordon clipped the back of Fall s head with his leg, and hit a two-handed slam that rattled around the rim and went in.
As he soared through the air, he elevated to an unbelievable height, defying gravity. With his arm fully extended, he slammed the ball through the hoop with immense force. The crowd erupted into a frenzy, and even the opposing team's fans couldn't help but be impressed.
LaVine appreciates slam dunk contest bond with Gordon
DENVER --- Seven years have passed since Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon staged their second of consecutive epic slam dunk contests at the 2015 and 2016 All-Star Weekends in New York and Toronto, respectively.
And whenever they see each other, which again will be Wednesday night when LaVine and the Chicago Bulls face Gordon and the Western Conference-leading Denver Nuggets, it’s nothing but love.
“I’ve known Aaron from before that, just growing up and playing AAU and then him going to Arizona and me going to UCLA. We’re from the same draft class. We’ve always had a good rivalry and relationship,” LaVine said following Wednesday morning’s shootaround at Ball Arena. “I think the dunk contest made that bigger than what it was between us. It was really fun and something for the culture and the history."
Indeed, for some they forever will be linked, those jaw-dropping dunks frozen in time, flush with all their gravity-defying and reality-suspending power.
“I think the (2016) one is the best one ever as far as creativity, guys stepping up and making dunks that probably haven’t been seen before and the level of competition,” LaVine said. “It was fun. I don’t think either one of us knew what the other one had in store. How it unraveled with us going back and forth with these (perfect score) 50s and no misses, it was something to watch. Being a part of it, and going back and watching it now, is crazy.”
LaVine won both contests, confidently calling the 2015 victory in New York “a cakewalk for me” and reiterating on Wednesday what he said in the direct aftermath of the 2016 classic---that he would’ve been fine if judges declared co-winners and they shared the award.
“I think Aaron had the best dunk of the night. I really do. In fact, that is probably the best dunk in dunk contest history,” LaVine said. “But I had probably the next five best dunks.”
The dunk LaVine cited is the one that is most memorable, when Gordon jumped over Stuff the Magic Dragon, the Orlando Magic mascot, pushed the ball underneath his legs from his right hand to his left and dunk over his head with his legs tucked underneath him.
“He was sideways, almost sitting down at the rim,” LaVine said. “I remember sitting there and putting my hands on my head and going, ‘Whoa.’ I knew I had to respond.”
McCants then bounced the ball to teammate and defending champion Gerald Green, who stretched out to corral it and throw down a two-handed dunk. While the jam didn’t look all that spectacular in real-time, the slo-mo replay showed just how cool of a maneuver it was as Green blew out the candle mid-dunk.
This dunk showcased Gordon's athleticism, creativity, and fearlessness on the court. It was a moment that will be remembered for years to come and solidified his reputation as one of the best dunkers in the game..
