Orlando Magic's Aaron Gordon Enters 2016 Dunk Contest
Gordon Hopes to Reign Supreme as League's Greatest Dunker
Will He Be Able to Surpass Derrick Jones Jr?
Aaron Gordon, Zach Lavine, Will Barton, and Andre Drummond will all be competing in the 2016 Dunk Contest, hoping to be crowned the league's greatest dunker. Gordon is a two-time contestant, having finished second in 2016 to Zach LaVine. He is known for his incredible athleticism and gravity-defying dunks.
In 2016, Gordon put the ball under his legs while jumping over the Orlando Magic mascot for his second dunk. This dunk was so impressive that it was voted the "Dunk of the Year" by fans. Gordon will be hoping to replicate this success in 2020 and finally claim the title of Dunk Contest champion.
Gordon's main competition will come from Derrick Jones Jr. of the Miami Heat. Jones Jr. is a rising star who has quickly become one of the most exciting dunkers in the league. He won the Dunk Contest in 2020, defeating Gordon in a sudden-death dunk-off. Jones Jr. is known for his incredible hops and his ability to perform difficult dunks with ease.
The 2016 Dunk Contest is sure to be an exciting event, with Gordon and Jones Jr. leading the way. Both players are capable of putting on a show, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
