A Letter to My First Poster Victim: You're Not Alone

(Editor's note: Before his first NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Bleacher Report asked Aaron Gordon to reflect on a moment he'll never forget—his first poster dunk.)

I can’t remember your name, but I want to apologize to you for dunking on you so viciously. Not because I didn’t mean to but because you couldn’t do anything to stop it.

So...sorry, not sorry.

I mean, you didn’t really see it coming. A drop step from a freshman in high school put you on a poster—my first poster. You were probably caught up in the moment, thinking about how close that 2010 first-round NorCal game was between my Mitty Monarchs and your Fairfield Falcons.
