Aaron Gordon is just out here making all of these dunks look so easy now it’s ridiculous. 

Before the NBA All-Star Break, there were probably a lot of casual basketball fans out there who had no idea who Aaron Gordon of the Orlando Magic even was. But after he went into the Slam Dunk Contest and took reigning champ Zach LaVine to the absolute limit, he became an instant sensation overnight.

With the break now done, though, all of Gordon’s dunks will be coming in the games, like this one he dropped on the Warriors Thursday night.

Gordon and the Magic are taking on the best team in the NBA, and in the third quarter of this one, Gordon soared from near the foul line to throw this one down.

That’s just silly. The thing about this dunk is that he makes it look so easy, as if he took off from directly underneath the rim. But in reality, he was about one step in front of the foul line, which is just insane.

Gordon didn’t take the ball from a mascot on a hoverboard, but that doesn’t make this any less amazing in a game than it actually is.
