The T-Wolves dunker goes back-to-back!
Normally, we would just put the best highlight video for this event, but last night was arguably the best NBA All-Star Saturday showcase this entire decade. Zach LaVine even brought out Drake, during his entrance with “Back to Back,” before defending his title against the likes of Will Barton, Andre Drummond and Aaron Gordon. On paper, this may have been the most underwhelming collective of names one could imagine, but the four jumpers put on one of the best contests in ages.
With Zach showcasing his behind-the-back and between-the-legs slams that look familiar from last year, Gordon stole the show with various props. The two would soon engage in a dunk off, as Aaron’s entire body ascended a mascot standing on a hoverboard – we do have to commend him for the originality. As the duo continued to pull out their best material for three more rounds, Gordon would run short of material, as LaVine saved the best for last.
The Wolves swing-man soon become the most aerodynamic man on Earth, completely a between-the-legs dunk from the free throw line. Take a look at the entire 2016 dunk contest above and let us know in the comments if you think Gordon has a shot at taking the crown next year.
