CHICAGO — Aaron Gordon assumed it was a 50. Or at least good enough to take home the slam dunk contest crown he felt he’d been robbed of in 2016.
Instead, he was robbed again on Saturday night at the United Center. And after losing out to Derrick Jones Jr. in a dunk-off, he had some pointed thoughts. Namely: “C’mon man. What we doin’?”
Gordon, after five perfect scores, vaulted over Tacko Fall, and tens of thousands rose to their feet in anticipation – assumption – of a sixth 50. Instead, Gordon got a 47.
