Yahoo Sports Aaron Gordon, NBA Twitter react to Slam Dunk Contest: ‘I probably could’ve got second’
Mac McClung secured his second consecutive NBA Dunk Contest title on Saturday night, but fans were disappointed with the event, missing the excitement of past contests such as the 2016 showdown between Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine. Despite this, fans did appreciate the LED court.
Here’s how NBA Twitter and players like Gordon and Joel Embiid reacted to the Dunk Contest:
I’m a professional hater but I’m not hating when I say I could win the dunk contest with these scores but not sure the knees would allow it lmao

After seeing the LED court in person I’m ready for it to be used at least in the regular All Star game. I’d also say let’s do it for the In Season Tournament. I wouldn’t even be mad for regular season. It’s really cool. pic.twitter.com/bWC5LntLO0
