Here’s what you missed from this year’s insane Slam Dunk contest.

It wouldn’t be the Slam Dunk contest if there wasn’t controversy and there was plenty of it in this year’s contest. Everything from who won, to who announced and everything in between. But in case you missed it, here are all the best dunks from Saturday night’s contest.

The winner, Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. edged out Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon following two tiebreakers leaving the NBA world calling for yet another robbery. This marks the second year in a row that Gordon was arguably robbed of the honors.

Here’s what happened throughout the night and you tell us who you think should have won.

And here’s Pat Commaughton’s dunk.

We can’t forget Dwight Howard either. He not only arrived as Superman (of course) but he honored Kobe Bryant too. It gave us chills.

What did you think of the 2020 Slam Dunk contest, do you think the right winner won? Or was Aaron Gordon robbed again?
