Aaron Gordon played coy after an Orlando Magic practice after the news broke that he was entering the All-Star’s Slam Dunk Contest for the third time. The news was not official and so Gordon could not confirm nor deny anything.
He sheepishly said he was not on social media after told that Shams Charania of The Athletic had reported his entry. Aaron Gordon added he would be honored to be back in the competition if the NBA wanted.
That dance is over. Gordon is back in the Slam Dunk Contest.
Gordon has put on some hair-raising dunks and, of course, he has the reputation built up from the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest.
