Since he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest during All-Star weekend, Aaron Gordon has not stopped showing off his dunking prowess. Often times Gordon finds himself alone on the break or after one of his Magic teammates has missed a shot and throws down a dunk that not many other people in the NBA can do. Every once in a while though, Gordon is able to free himself on a cut and head towards the rim for an alley-oop finish. Those type of plays are always fun and once again on Saturday night Gordon found himself on the end of a lob.

Gordon just kind of hangs in the air which is insane. A player as big as he is shouldn’t be able to do that. He also shouldn’t be able to get lost that easily by a defense, but the Chicago Bulls seemed to have checked out for the season which explains this play.
