Air Gordon

When it comes to the Orlando Magic, there can be no doubt the main attraction is Aaron Gordon’s high-flying exploits.

The combo forward wowed fans at last season’s NBA Dunk Contest, putting on a show along with eventual winner, Zach LaVine. It was a show some believe to be one of the best dunk contests in history.

Gordon continued to entertain on an almost nightly basis. That includes this incredible dunk against the Los Angeles Lakers, which the NBA ranked as the second best dunk of the 2016 season (2:22):

With many expecting Gordon to have a breakout third season in the league, the 21 year old will no doubt add more highlights to his own reel throughout the campaign.

Without doubt, Aaron Gordon, with his freakish athleticism and high-flying acrobatics, is one of the highlights not just of any Orlando Magic game — but of any contest in the NBA.
