Almost everyone in the building looked shocked as the judges scored Aaron Gordon’s final dunk in Saturday’s AT&T Slam Dunk Contest. Mouths dropped to the floor from about everyone in Chicago — from Tacko Fall to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The majority of the NBA world thought Aaron Gordon’s last dunk over Tacko Fall solidified him as the 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner. But once again, that was not the case.
The judges had scored Gordon’s final dunk a 47 — his only dunk of the six he performed that did not garner a perfect score of 50.
