They should get the audience involved more. It is not like nba is technology challenged. You can have voting device to each paid ticket holder, or let each audience register one phone to send text when the the same score appears. total votes/total audience = extra points added to the score.

Yeah he was. As a Magic fan something as little as one of our players winning the dunk contest would be nice to see. Especially when it means something to the kid participating. Kinda cruel and I feel bad for him.

The problem is that when you look at the big picture, Gordon has singlehandedly brought back the dunk contest after years and years of garbage. Comical props, no creativity, bad execution etc. It was getting to a point where people thought it should be outright eliminated. Gordon revived it and got nothing in return. That is the real robbery for me

Wait are there people who arent talking about how insane his dunk over tacko was

Did he get it perfectly clean? No

But tacko fall in shoes is 7ft6 or 7ft7

The gap in height between shaq and tacko is basically the same as the gap between lebron and curry.

1 had 5-6 amazing dunks. The other had 1 amazing dunk, then started dunking on repeat. 3 Under the leg dunks from different angles. Wow. Amazing.

I had to make sure my DVR wasn't broken and rewinding itself when DJJ went up to dunk.


Wow u still hating? Both had amazing dunks


Gordan had 2 of the best dunks of the night, arguable 2 top 5 dunks of all time and arguably 3 of the 5 best dunks in contest history lmao there are levels to this

The man dunked over tacko fall and wade literally rigged it because they knew gordan would win in a vote out.

Was robbed but these contests mean about as much as dunking in your backyard.

He was robbed last time vs. ZL and that was closer than this one. So... yeah. Even the judges agreed. Until one didn't.

He literally cheated. Facts. Everyone but Chadwick has outed him apparently.

This was way more of a robbery than 2016.

LaVine’s between the legs from the foul line in 2016 was way better than Jones Jrs multiple iterations of between the leg dunks he did tonight . And Gordon should have won in 2016 but this one was way more blatant


That's your opinion. Gordon had some of the best dunks ever in the 2016 dunk contest. He had some special dunks in this one but the sheer ridiculousness of those collective 2016 dunks makes that a massive robbery despite Lavines last dunk

Also again one can't just ignore that Gordon landed on Falls head. A 9 was certainly not out of the question. Don't forget that 2 other judges gave him just that


At the very least they both were all time level performances. Lavine basically had a top 3 performance ever that year too

Youre acting as if every judge independantly scores it and thats now how it works sometimes, they literally agreed in giving it a 48 and going to a decision where they would vote for the winner. You can see it when boseman, who gave a 9, went 100% wtf at the end

Noticed there are fewer Heat fans defending it now that Wade's been outed. . .

You literally cant have a brain and say he wasnt robbed when the contest which he basically won was literally rigged by a former teammate of his opponent lmao

Why didn’t all judges agree to give 10’s if they wanted it to go to judges decision?

It's just a faulty scoring system.

It could have easily been 47/48 or 49/47 or 46/47... it's totally subjective and extremely difficult to score.


D12 got a 49..subjective my ass.


Subjective: based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.

Are you sure you disagree...?

Or did you just not know what subjective means...

Lol, Tacko is 7'6"

They both were really good and the controversy is good for the event. But both should have won.

Nobody has Wade outed. Only some vague tweet from Ramona Shelburne on how there was apparently some agreement between judges. Nothing but assumptions.
