Aaron Gordon

I am sure I speak for most of us when we thought Aaron Gordon of the Magic would get revenge from last year by winning the 2017 Dunk contest. However the complete opposite occurred. He landed in last place.

Gordon had creative dunks he just couldn’t convert as some of his dunk attempts involved technical difficulties.

One of his dunks involved dropping a basketball from a drone, which was exciting. In the first and second round he ended with lowest points.

First he earned 38, then 34. Instead of improving and making a better dunk he earned a worse score in the second round.

Thanks to not making dunks and technical difficulties, he was eliminated first.
