Power dunker, but not a sexy dunker. Love AG, but I don't have high hopes here.

Fine with me, more dunks for AG and better chance to win.

Lavine Vs AG in the finals. Mark it in now.

AG has a few tricks up his sleeve, I think people will be surprised. Around the backs and through the legs with ease. I'm thinking he might try a through the legs 360, or around the back 360.

I'm seeing a LaVine/Gordon final. LaVine will win though - the dunk contest is his element.

Fight hard for second place, Aaron. Represent!

Skiles will surely leave Aaron on the bench at the most critical moment of this event.

I think AG gets to the final round, but Zach repeats. He's bouncy and skinny so it seems harder.

Is this real? Very excited. This guy has some secret dunks up his sleeve.

he'll win it i think

I think he's more creative than you may give him credit for. He's got the ups for it too. He posted some interesting ones on IG and vine earlier. One I recall him shooting a jumpshot from the left elbow, making it, and catching the ball as it fell through the net to throw it back down with the windmill. Never seen it before, but showcases his athleticism.

Gordon does this "double double" dunk in every dunk contest...

I bet it will be his first dunk.

Serious? shocked you don't see him as a sexy dunker. Hes got some serious hops and the required athleticism to pull off some CRAZY sexy dunks imo. Way more than a power dunker to me.

During games he's all kinds of sexy... maybe I'm wrong, but I don't know if the contest will favor him.

AG is going to make it interesting for Lavine
