We’ve seen great individual performances at the NBA Slam Dunk Contest before, but Saturday was hands down the best Slam Dunk contest we’ve ever seen.
Will Barton and Andre Drummond also participated, but we’re just going to show you what Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon did with one warning: It’s going to completely blow your mind.
The contest at one point saw six consecutive perfect scores from judges, a dunk contest record. Though LaVine ended up winning, in his speech he announced that he wanted to share the title with Gordon because he was equally as great.
We can’t disagree. Enjoy.
