Derrick Jones Jr. has heard all of the criticism of his dunk contest win over Aaron Gordon. He just isn't paying it any mind.
"I laugh at it. I don't care about that," Jones told Five Reasons Sports. "At the end of the day, I won. If anybody wants to challenge me—in the summertime, next season when we go back—I'm gonna be there. So y'all gonna have to see me again regardless. If I'm healthy, y'all gonna have to see me again."
Jones won the 2020 dunk contest in a controversial decision over Aaron Gordon, who received a score of 47 on his final dunk despite jumping over 7'5" Tacko Fall.
