Let me be the first to admit, I was one of the many fans in shock when we took 19 year old Aaron Gordon #4 in the 2014 NBA Draft. I wanted Dante Exum. So glad I am not the GM of this team. Aaron Gordon's stellar dunk contest debacle this year has apparently boosted his confidence since.

Today, our shocking #4 pick was dunking on the Ellen Show. Can he be the next great, highly marketable Orlando Magic player?

Dwight is perfect for Hollywood. In the fake smile, just for camera giddiness kind of way.

Ag has been blowing up since the dunk contest

Anyone catch Skiles on the Maury Show earlier? I heard 2 of his baby mamas fought on air.

That is gold for his career and marketability. I don't see any reason why by next year he can not be considered the face of the team. Aaron is humble, athletic freak, and keeps putting up solid numbers.

I have to agree. His game lately has really been on full display. Really crazy to think this guy is still so very young. More than anything, I hope our management does it's best to bring in the coaches that he's going to need to help him improve his ball-handling and shot creation.

I don't know if I'm the only one who has noticed this since the dunk contest - but, when he goes to dunk the ball, people are really moving out of the way now.

This is cool. If he comes back year, its undeniably going to be Rocky II

Really awesome to watch. AG's growth has been one of the only highlights this year, not just with the dunk contest, but with his game overall. Seems like a great kid and I'm happy to see him get all this recognition, especially since he got robbed.

I hope Gordon is the face of Orlando for many years to come. This was great to see.

The kid deserves it. Orlando fans deserve it too!

Yeah, he's openly said that he now tries to dunk everything where as before he was just trying to go at it soft for some reason. This is still my favorite AG moment not counting the dunk contest:

"Nice block by Gordon".

I think Vuc's reaction makes it that much greater.

His windmill dunk against LA was pretty epic too.

Ah man, lucky guy.

This was less cheesy than I expected.
