The 2016 NBA dunk contest had to be the best one to date so far. The showdown between Minnesota Timberwolves' guard Zach Lavine and Orlando Magic's small forward Aaron Gordon was nothing short of amazing. These two young guys (both age 20), put on the greatest dunk contest of all time in my opinion. Their duel seemed more exciting and more creative than that of the 1988 Slam Dunk Contest between Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins in which many refer to as the greatest dunk contest of all time. What do you think?
After the showdown between Lavine and Gordon Saturday night many famous people and athletes went to social media to express how they felt. Many people were saying Aaron Gordon got robbed out of the win causing a huge social media controversy. Either way it was up to the judges to make that call and I am sure pretty much everyone can agree this was the greatest slam dunk contest of all time.
