Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine sits down with Omar Raja and breaks down his dunks from the 2016 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest vs. Orlando Magic big man Aaron Gordon.

[@peace4myheart]

The only real winner that everyone can agree on that night was the fan.

[@erijak2935]

I love how lavine can admit can Aaron Gordon's over the mascot under both legs is the best dunk in the contest

[@kaydensumalpong2885]

If that was his last dunk, Zach could've lost that dunk contest.

[@penkima4923]

[@ogrizzly4599]

It couldnt go either way.That Mascott Dunk was a 90.Gordon was flat out robbed

[@mizzyfit_334]

@@ogrizzly4599 what wasn’t clean

[@jonjoe89]

He got robbed for real in 2016. In the last round Lavine followed Gordon with the same dunk, but with less creativity. He should've never got a 50 for that. And it shouldn't have went into sudden death. The judges only explanation was that they were enjoying it so much they wanted to see more.

[@dym2336]

No one glides through the air the way Zach does. His dunks are so smooth it’s incredible.

[@omieg89]

One of the most underrated parts for Lavine was that he always went second and had more pressure on him to deliver and he still came through on the first attempt each time. But both tremendous dunkers.

[@penkima4923]

Lavine followed Gordon with same dunks, but with less creativity. How is that underrated, if he still gets a 50 with a less difficult dunk?

Some people use the word robbed too much tbh. This was extremely close could have went either way so how was it a robbery?

[@mrhhh3830]

Agree, a gorden last wasn't a 50, but he should've won automatically after the air chair dunk😂😂

AG definitely got robbed this year though

[@MichaelNNguyen]

Both are great dunkers but Zach has more swag when he dunked.

[@ky5059]

You mean more Finesse, Zach is much more Flexible

[@ogway1772]

Ag more creative but still zach won. Nothing ee can do

[@Qdawwg]

Really? I feel the opposite Zach has more raw agility and bounce, but Aaron has that extra sauce and swag that's perfect for dunk contests

[@Flankengott379]

Copying a dunk is swagy?

[@lelethemaddenlibrarian2217]

He didnt jump from the free throw line on his paat dunk. Shoulda been a 45

[@nigerianscammerhaveyousent6497]

*You can see him slowly dying inside watching this. Cause he doesn’t want to be known just for dunking, he’s mentioned that a time or two*

[@paulpierce1366]

Bruh he’s already best player on bulls obviously he’s not known just for dunking he averages 25 a game dunking is just one of his best abilities so it’s interesting to talk about especially while he’s in his prime

[@ramzyrizzle]

He's not gonna be.

[@joestuehmer7967]

This is what happened to Vince sadly people tend to forget how great of a player he was in his prime and how clutch he was.. They only remember him as the GOAT dunker

[@GodOfDestructionVegeta27]

Joe Stuehmer That's honestly not such a terrible thing to be remembered as lol.

[@joestuehmer7967]

@@GodOfDestructionVegeta27 lol it is when u are actually a great player which is why Zach doesn't want to participate in the dunk contest anymore he probably thinks that will overshadow his actually basketball career.. Watch Vince from 99-2002 he was way more than just a dunker and is easily a top 10 sg of all time but most people only think he was good at dunking they don't remember how clutch of a player he was who was also a great 3 point shooter

[@kcutta321]

Seeing that last dunk angle from Zach coming from the side, you gotta give him the W that free throw line through the legs💯🔥🦅 INCREDIBLE

[@osmannoor2042]

Big facts. Between the leg near free throw line?????!!! come on

[@nwitzekrom1669]

lavine underrated on bro

[@djxxxplicit]

Win, lose or draw. This was the most incredible dunk contest ever. 💪

[@l.u.a4501]

AG's mistake was thinking he couldve won with those dunks he prepared ( which he did btw) when he shouldve prepared for more. Because his last 2 dunks were mehh, not dunk contest material but still impressive.

[@hassanhaulcy]

Idc what anyone says AG was 100% robbed that year. Also that’s the greatest dunk contest ever

[@TheRealAmerican12]

Pretty sure everyone agrees

[@og3777]

an he'll get his revenge when he comes to Boston just for that 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😤🍀

[@LeBeautiful]

Ima disagree, the fact that Lavine did a free throw eastbay dunk within his first try is extremely difficult. Should've been a tie if anything imo.

[@Nestle245]

He wasn't robbed. It could've went either way. AG's last dunk was pretty good but it wasn't beating a between the legs from free throw that's why he lost.

[@LeBeautiful]

Ness Rosenbrad exactly. Though I believe with the ORDER of the dunks and the mascot being his last one..things would be different. Gordon could’ve won in 2017 but messed up. It was the easiest year too.

[@Meteo_sauce]

When zach dunks he always looks like he just woke up lol and doesn't know where he at

[@nkrumansantos1794]

Zach should challenge Derrick Jones next year, win the contest and give the trophy to Arron Gordon.

[@djxxxplicit]

Yea my exact thoughts. Both are distance dunkers and can fly.

[@Bone-AR]

THE BEST DUNK CONTEST EVER.

[@mlopez4546]

Best slam dunk contest of all time! Aaron Gordon should of went home with the trophy but I'm biased BEAR DOWN

[@TyFoster47]

If AG won this year next year would have been AG, Lavine, Ja, And ZION would have been the best of all time

[@Sunny-jl6mr]

TyFoster 47 Ja can’t touch what AG and Zach could do

[@CMCut]

Ja is not on that level. He is on the level of Donovan Mitchell, DSJ the best dunker in the league right now who is on par with Zach and Gordon is Terrance Ferguson but he aint famous enough to be invited

[@tororo-5640]

Nah we don't want DJJ next year doing the same between the legs over and over

[@KhangNguyen-bl3xc]

Ja can dunk. But hes nowhere near lavine and gordon. Zion could become one of the best dunkers if he gets creative

[@jitbetripping2953]

Best dunk contest of all time

[@Lotus-Son]

Aaron's looks technically tougher, but zach looked a lot better in style and overall finesse.

[@CMCut]

LOL. if we're being technical Lavine was way way more harder, 1. No Props 2. Starts at the free throw line (this alone is harder for anybody) 3. No push offs 4. Timing Its harder to do tricks 15ft out than jumping over a 6ft+ mascot holding a ball with a factor off pushing off to elevate your jump higher

@@kdparttwo9990 nah you still wouldn't because you are probably lazy for not having a 40 inch vertical. If you really want that vert why are you not training for it? Everybody can have a 40 inch vertical just need to train. I was close to it, i reached 38 with 8 months of training then i got injured and lost like 6 inches. Now i don't care anymore about vert. So what's your excuse to not have it?
