TrueMagicFan07 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 NBA WORLD REACTS TO AARON GORDON BEING ROBBED IN SLAM DUNK COMPETITION AFTER DUNKING OVER TACKO FALL By Matt Johnson - February 15, 2020 Four years after he was robbed as Slam Dunk champion, Gordon was robbed again in one of the wildest dunk contests in NBA history. Gordon and Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. put on a show throughout the night. The high-flying stars put on an absurd display of unbelievable dunks, ultimately sending it to a dunk-off. After the pair each earned 50s with a pair of dunks we might never see again, it all came down to the final dunk. Jones’ dunk was certainly impressive, but the NBA world collectively stood up on its feet in shock when Gordon brought out Boston Celtics 7-foot-5 center Tacko Fall. No one thought it was possible that Gordon would leap over the NBA’s tallest player, then he somehow achieved the impossible.

They got what they wanted. A member of their darling franchise got the rub, and Orlando got buried. Again. Quote
Justin Jaudon Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 What did Aaron Gordon ever do to Chadwick Boseman? I know D Wade was protecting his guy, and Pippen is a hater. But why, T'Challa? Why? Quote
Justin Jaudon Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 Seriously, the NBA needs to fix this. Invite Aaron to the next 3-point contest, but also only invite Ben Simmons to go against him. Quote
Franchise408 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 I'm like legit heated. I'm a 49ers fan as well and I'm more pissed off about this than I was the Super Bowl loss. The NBA clearly wanted Miami to shine and to bury Orlando. Miami is their darling franchise. Can't have a player from Orlando in the NBA spotlight, even for a day. Like, it might "just" be the dunk contest, but if they can't even get this little thing right, how can they have integrity for the big games? Quote

Notice that they mentioned Parker and Boseman by name but did not print Wade and Pippen's names as 2 of the judges that gave Aaron 9's. Instead, they referred to them as Bulls Hall of Famers. HERE ARE THE CORRECT SCORES GIVEN BY EACH OF THE JUDGES (I found on another site) "(The individual scores from each judge on Gordon's last dunk: Dwyane Wade, 9; Common, 10; Candace Parker, 10; Chadwick Boseman, 9; Scottie Pippen, 9.)"

All Eyes On Me Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 Feel for Aaron. That was awful. Far and away the best dunker of the night again and screwed again. Jesus. Easy fix. Top 2 dunkers still advance, but the scores don’t reset Quote
fan for too long 2 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 F U Miami and wade and Pippen. It took them forever to post that last score and never showed the judges while they were fixing the score. AG you are THE MAN!!! Two time dunk contest champion in a fare world. Quote
All Eyes On Me Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 I think the NBA have done some decent damage to the contest again after it has been trying to make a comeback. A lot of people are super upset, including stars, not just Magic fans... why would anybody with a decent reputation risk their health and put in the work if the league is willing to let the contest be rigged for freakin Derrick Jones Jr.?! I’m half expecting some sort of rebuke or decision change to come from the league office to try to save face. Literally the only people happy with the result are Heat fans Quote
Just a regular Magic fan Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 I didn't see it. It totally sucks he got robbed again, but I am looking forward to watching AG's dunks on youtube. From the sounds of it, he did even better than last time, which surprises me because I never thought there would be a better dunk than the one where he jumps over Stuff (my avatar). That's just crazy athletic! Quote
CTMagicUK Posted February 16, 2020 Report Posted February 16, 2020 Honestly AG is the greatest dunker of his generation. Robbed. Twice. 1 Quote
