Assuming Aaron Gordon enters for the 2017 NBA Slam Dunk contest which dunks should he do to win?

I want him to do dunks that haves never been done before, like the "Kiss the rim" dunk! :nod:

Is it confirmed that he will participate? If he does, he is the favorite now.

Any of these would work perfectly:

I wouldn't want to impose on an artist's vision. Just going to watch what he comes up with and pick my jaw up off the floor afterward.

Cigar in mouth, have a lit candle on the rim (like the cupcake dunk), windmill, blow some smoke rings on the landing. 8)

I was kind of hoping he'd enter the 3 point contest and win. 8-)

I thought that pretty much all the dunks that were possible to be done, had already been done. Until AG last year. And he still didn't win.

He is a 2 foot jumper, kind of hard to predict these kinds of things.

Doesn't really matter what he does if Lavine enters, Lavine will win. AG did a top 5 dunk ever, Lavine did the same dunk only a much easier version and got the same score.

If I'm being honest I think the Dunk contest is a clown show and I hope Aaron agrees. Its beneath him.

Its fun to watch but I do not take it seriously.

His in game dunks and defense are way more impressive to me.

Looks like AG is becoming a fan favorite:

I wouldn't blame him if he didn't enter, he got robbed on the win and I'd be salty if I was him.

But I think it would be good for his rise to stardom / brand if he entered it again. He'd be the clear favorite.
