As Derrick Jones Jr. and Aaron Gordon went back and forth wowing Chicago’s United Center with forceful slams during Saturday night’s dunk contest, Gordon went for the dagger.
Jones and Gordon had each netted 50s in the final round and in the first dunk-off. The second tiebreaker saw Jones leap from just inside the foul line and complete a windmill jam.
Up next was Gordon, who went for the walk-off dunk with some help from 7-foot-5 Tacko Fall.
After a short discussion between Gordon and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, the Orlando Magic forward summoned Fall to the court to be a prop for his final dunk.
