That dunk reminded me of Bill Russell duckevdover a guy in a game, not a 7'7" guy but a full grown basketball ball player. This dunk was amazing. I've only see a couple of clip but arron gorgon deserved the win.

Gordon should have won, Wade helped his former team mate in the judges booth and robbed Gordon.

I hope Jaylen never takes part in this clown show... We don’t need to risk him getting injured trying to do some over the top dunk for a panel of judges that have absolutely no idea how to judge a contest like this.

Man, that video never gets old. Looks like he's going down-court at prime-John Wall speed, and then from one foot-length in from the FT line jumps over a guy to lay it in (easily could have dunked it). He'd be something else entirely with modern nutrition and tech

please remember that russell was more than just a basketball player.

"Russell was ranked the seventh best high jumper in the world in 1956.  “My heart is set on the Olympics,” Russell said in an AP story in 1956. “I think I have a good chance of making the basketball squad, and I’d like to make the track and field team as well.”

That's the one I always think of when folks say how athletic the players are today and that's in live game action and that's the center!

Aaron Gordon is being misused in Orlando. He's a big not a wing. He's closer to Theis than to Jaylen Brown. He could shine if he was in the right situation.

Are the Magic misusing him or does Aaron see himself more as a perimeter based, outside shooting wing with a priority on offense(which is how he plays) rather than the defense first, small ball 5 or stretch 4 that can be a great passer and more efficient scorer(which is how he should play)?

I think it's a bit of both but if used properly, I am still not sure Gordon won't still see himself as a major offensive weapon that should be playing on the perimeter and shooting from out there.

Was there a requirement that at least one dunk for each competitor had to include grabbing the basketball from a guy holding it near the basket? Or were they all just super unoriginal and simply copied each other?

I am one of the few that does not believe Gordon got robbed.  In terms of height, the dunk was impressive.  That’s not the only criteria though. Creativity, power, finesse.  Dunking over a really tall guy who was standing stationary with his head down didn’t add a lot.
