Only if you agree that all his dunks were 50s (they were not )would you also think nutting taco in a final dunk was a 50 too. His jet wash spinner that took a 2nd attempt was the only true 50 he had all night. Jones had 1 true 50 with the off the backboard btwn legs hurdle.
If anything it could have been a tie and the way it ended was questionable by the judges given how over friendly they were throughout until then but the reality is they were out of time and the man did not jump over taco he basically jumped into his shoulders and the dunk was boring = big fat L
It was a stunt so everyone loved it. That's all that was special. He hit Tacos head.. DJJ had a better night and finish.

Let’s not get carried away now. AG should have won yes, but HOF? Stop.

Re: Was AG Robbed?
DJJ didn't do anything wrong. He's the most athletic guy on the court imo by far, he was just a bit less creative.

In terms of actual dunks Lavine/Gordon >>> jordon/WilkinsReeko wrote:My Main Man wrote:I thought Derrick Jones Jr had more style than AG. I was still shocked that he lost but honestly I liked DJJ’s dunks more.
Also
Gordon/Lavine > Gordon/DJJ
And it isn't even close. The announcers trying to hype it like it was the greatest since Jordan vs Nique, nah it was the greatest since Gordon vs Lavine.

He used different setups/angles.
He never did the exact same dunk twice in a row.

Don't forget that Wade also robbed Connaughton's first dunk with an 8. Clearing way for DJJ to squeeze into the finale

Re: Was AG Robbed?
I don't know about this time, but what was just wrong in 2016 was that his last dunk was amazing enough to be a top3 of that contest, just it was not understood

Jones Jr didn't just clip Bam on his first dunk, he pushed off him for leverage - and he missed the first attempt.
What was his score? 46. Gordon's score for making the dunk over Tacko on the first attempt, without pushing off but clipping his head, and he gets a 47?
Does Jones Jr deserve credit for great dunks? Yeah, they were great dunks - and they were also all appropriations of Gordon's epic 2016 dunks over Stuff. So yeah, he did a great job imitating Gordon, and even made some epic dunks of his own (he was legit very good).
But no, Gordon should have won. Scoring should have something close to an official system to it.

If we lived in the Middle East Dwade would have had his hands and feet cut off.

Both the Bam and Tacko dunks were 45's.

Not by the judge's scores.

Re: Was AG Robbed?
and now noone who ever enters a dunk contest will be stupid enough to try to jump over anyone including the tallest man on earth and expect to do it cleanly and expect to get a 50 when they dont
