Aaron Gordon dunks over Tacko

[gift]

I believe that the Tacko dunk was Gordon’s only dunk of the night to not get a perfect score.

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.

I could dunk ball in the day and dunked over a 6 footer in high school.     But the dunk jones did was not terribly hard either except it had some hang time on it.

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.

This one?

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

I'm just interested in him dominating the mental aspect of the game by being one of the finest statisticians and basketball minds in the modern NBA , he was playing basketball with analytics in the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon administrations lol.

If he had dunked over Tacko I’d be really impressed. But Tacko was already ducking his head when Gordon nutmegged him pretty hard. Gordon *might* have dunked over Tacko’s shoulders. That’s still really high(!) but you have to lose style points for trying a dunk you don’t really make.

I agree 100%.  He even pushes off on the ball to launch himself higher.

His dunk before that was pretty awesome though.  The Tacko one...bleh.
