Aaron Gordon just got robbed

[Arizona_Sting]

One of the best dunk contests I've ever seen, no disrespect to LaVine because he put on a show… but looking at it as a whole, Gordon was on a completely different level.

Two of the dunks he did I've never seen done before/didn't know they were humanly possible.

Should have called it a tie. He definitely got screwed on that last dunk

He should have won after his first 2 dunks in the final round, but the judges wanted more dunks so they kept giving LaVine 50's.

Yup, LaVine's first dunk in Round 2 was not 50 worthy AT ALL. They just wanted to extend it.

Gordon outperformed him easily though. Idc what the judges say.

It's unfortunate, seemed like from the start it was just gonna be for LaVine to show off and win again and I thought he had it wrapped up before the final round. Then Gordon had awesome dunk after awesome dunk. I probably would have given LaVine around 90-95 for the final 2 dunks and 100 for Gordon.

They like controversy so they created some. That dunk was unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm not taking anything away from LaVine because he was unreal as well, but AG was more creative and degree of difficulty seemed to be a lot higher.

several of levines dunks were the exact same ones he did last yr. they need to ditch the stupid scorecards and have the judges pick their individual winner. throwing 50s out like they are free throws is plain stupid and I would have won a nice chunk of change if Gordon won

 

[The Derski]

Yeah Gordon got robbed. Both the dunks over the mascot were insane. Lavine and Gordon played against eachother in college for UCLA and Arizona. I remember watching both their HS highlights and I was blown away. You guys should honestly check them out.

Great dunk contest!

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Great dunk contest!

Like I said, best one I've seen in a LONG time. Should go down as one of the top 3 ever… that final face off was probably the best head to head final in the last two decades.

 

[gordontrue]

No doubt about it

 

[wildturkey]

Rematch next year. No other contestants. Just them

 

[The Derski]

Players coming up nowadays that are half black half white always got insane hops. Griffin, Lavine, Gordon...

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

That reminded me of the Wilkins Jordan battle.
Gordon should have won.

What about Thompson? I know he can shoot but can he be highlight film worthy? I honestly don't know.

Thank you for not letting your Sun Devil roots cloud your opinion.

Not a great dunker, just has the prettiest looking jumper you'll ever see.
