Aaron Gordon robbed for a second time in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest

Simply put, Aaron Gordon was robbed again from becoming the NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion. Gordon and Derrick Jones Jr put on one of the greatest finals duos in slam dunk contest history, but in the end, the outcome was shocking. Jones walked away as the champion, but the whole world of basketball believe Gordon was the obvious winner.

Back in 2016, Gordon had one of the greatest dunks ever in the slam contest when he dunked over the mascot in acrobatic fashion. But did he win, nope. Lavine won by taking off from the free-throw line.
