Aaron Gordon had the better dunks in my opinion, especially the mascot ones. But to anyone saying Zach's dunks weren't impressive; I want you to go to a regulation baskbetball court and stand at the free throw line. Then imagine dunking from there while doing a windmill/through the legs.

+Nue Moryan which means he ain't ger robed

[@nicholascorrigan7936]

+ThexCODxSub when Zach copied Gordon's dunk is when Gordon got robbed. Zach should've got a 49. Also if you saw Aaron Gordon's last dunk in slo mo you'd on that deserves a 50.

[@boris4242]

No missed tries no missed attempts just amazing dunks and thats that

[@seungpak7062]

Who came here after 2024 All Stars

[@abcitiseasyasonetwothree3066]

No one will remember zach lavine after this contest, but Aaron Gordon will be legend, he was the first guy to do that dunk. He fucking invented almost impossible dunk.

[@SavedbyGrace2607]

No one will remember lavine? Your crazy! Dude is gonna be a star. Im from mn i see him every night

[@abcitiseasyasonetwothree3066]

Juice Man Im talking about dunks he made.

[@plestofall1668]

+Ritvars Kļaviņš Ummm Lavine was the first to do the windmill free throw dunk.

[@philreddiii2048]

Ritvars Kļaviņš bruh, that was the first time I've seen a nigga do a between-the-legs free throw dunk. The both of these guys will be legends.

[@alecbernal3824]

Air Gordon wasn't the first to do that seated dunk.

[@markmoore618]

The classics with mj and Dominique are cool but this was on another level

[@markasuncion8645]

I miss this a lot. Give us this kind of dunk contest again!!

[@sergezhelnovakov6189]

I’m just here to relive a good dunk contest. Props to Mac for making this year bearable

[@captaincrunchdog]

Gordon is not doing the contest next year I believe. Shame he was robbed. He had some GREAT creativity, power, and cleaness in his dunks. Lavine also did great, but most of his dunks were very similar each time and he did not even dunk from the free throw line. Either way one of the best dunk contests ever

[@Chrisdoodnauth94]

+captaincrunchdog why? did he say he wasn't going to be apart of it next year?

[@Dom-tk4nb]

+captaincrunchdog how do you know hes not doing it next year?

[@kingcapital5595]

Wait why?

[@mihiyouth12]

You really think the 1-2 inches Lavine was inside the free throw line actually make it worse than an actually free throw line dunk? Especially since he went between the legs too.

[@markybrickenmort8142]

+mihiyouth12 AND WINDMILL

[@hengkyiw]

I believe that most of us will come to watch this again in 2020..

[@vitindofreefire4219]

He did better and still lost

[@ensaruslu409]

@Greg A stop being romantic.

[@Blissfulkhan]

@Greg A For that era it was amazing, but the dunks they were doing can not be compared to this. I mean did you see what Aaron Gordon did.

[@fofficial2440]

@Greg A yeah cuz its sucks

[@kangjihoon7062]

nah imma still watch this over the next coming dunk contests, cant change my mind every dunk contest went downhill after this perfect performance

[@adechandra7534]

Never bored to see this, the best slam dunk contest i ever seen. so amaze

[@user-cj8yf4is3e]

2:40 HOW THE F HE DIDN’T WIN 🤯

[@triplethreathighlights3266]

Highway robbery for sure

[@michaelyan5433]

For sure，yes，in my mind，Gordon was supposed to win

[@lauretokenrey7341]

Free throw line windmill

[@fan1631]

Let’s hope he wins this year

[@ngthed3137]

[@lookcloselyatmypic1326]

Call the police Aaron Gordon was robbed in front of a million witnesses.

[@samsonhoeta7824]

I think you mean a billion lol

These jokes with calling the cops are hillarious 😂👍

Coming back after 2024 dunk contest

[@Igor-sl7ze]

Hello boys. Back for our yearly tradition

[@NikoLeon]

... anyone came after watching 2018? Damn. This is still, and will likely be the best dunk contest, ever!

[@yanniskarageorgiou3573]

All day, Everyday.

[@realfasis]

Watched others but thisis just insanity.

[@jaycool9480]

Nah, maybe the best in this decade but not ever.

[@chriswallace1642]

Jordan was better

[@lucass8317]

This is the best one ever by far

[@jd3076]

2:26 still to this day one of the GREATEST AND CREATIVE DUNK IVE EVER SEEN

[@Cricket_.football541]

Again and again watching 2016 dunk contest 🔥

[@samlittlefield8713]

Aaron Gordon would’ve won if they could score over 50

[@nessonsy9724]

This what I'm trying to say

[@rishipatel1]

I agree with you, popularity votes! Also all the popular people were running on the court every time Zach made a dunk. Stephen Curry, Karl Anthony Towns, etc.

[@joeyhohl1977]

Watching this after every years dunk contest is a must

[@sakeporo]

I always come back to this dunk contest from time to time. So good. Kenny wanted to go home like 10 times. 😆

[@TSCOTT-oz5vy]

Gordon won that thang. Both did great. Best dunking contest since 1988.

[@gmatsue84]

2:06 That's a straight (and bad) copy of the previous dunk, why the fuck is that a 50?

[@jerijobrosales]

Yeah if it weren't a 50 gordon would have won. SMH poor judges

[@lshave]

Because they don't compare dunks to others, if you saw lavines dunk first without seeing Gordon's previous one than u would probably agree it's a 50

[@MagentaVibes]

If both the gordon dunk and the lavine copy dunk are the same rating than that just proves how broken the rating system is

[@gmatsue84]

Slys Gaming So if Gordon got a 50 in the first dunk, and repeated it over and over again, he should get 50s in all of them? Then what's the point?

[@logbot9092]

+Mike Hawk You can't repeat a dunk that you yourself have done before, but it's not like they make up these dunks in the spot. So if two people have the same dunk the judges don't count off points for it

[@choppacityK]

Had to come watch this & refresh my mind after the 2022 contest

[@ODIN-zl7wk]

LOVE HOW THEY ALL SITTING AT THE BENCH TOGETHER , WITH THE CRAZY OUTFITS AND THE BENCH REACTIONS!!!

[@sonofaballer96]

Aaron Gordon should've won.

[@brycepaytes997]

If you really think about it tho...... Does it really matter? Both guys put up an AMAZING performance. I'll even go far to say that this is this generation's Dominique vs. Jordan.

[@marzxii]

He got robbed

[@8009sergio]

Mas Zach foi melhor !

[@dannytrujillo4484]

i agree

[@malejdueusbxbhaisnenamsiei706]

when he did the dunk in 2:25 he won

[@TriploF]

If I hear Kenny saying LETS GO HOME, LETS GO HOME one more time... Man...
