I don't even think anyone can duplicate it on first attempt. And his other dunk that received 9's was a 50 too. To come from behind his back to down by the ankles and still throw it down with force was crazy. Levine last dunk wasn't as good to me. Arron Gordon should have won imo
@@bishopwitdajuice4203 Could’ve gone either way but the FT line between the legs is still impressive though. Should’ve been a tie. The next one that Gordon joined when he jumped over Taco is more of a robbery than this one

@@djxxxplicit ummm they all dunk from free throw and it's not even from free throw he steps in on both the jumps would of been a free throw dunk if he jumped before the line like Jordan but no so Aaron should of won hands down
that dunk by aaron gordon over the mascot is easily the most insane show of athleticism i’ve ever seen in my life. and to do it that clean FIRST TRY. good lord
He didn't push off of the mascots shoulder and his eyes were at the rim. That alone was amazing, then you see him go underneath, and make it on his first attempt!!!
2023 was really good, mac mcclung carried. 2024 was kinda boring tho, mac played it safe knowing he could beat jaylen brown and the judges were really strict.
@@sorenpeterson430 Lol man he's not talking about traveling like in a game. He's talking about Lavine having more room to travel to build up momentum on the free throw dunks
One of the best NBA season ever if not the Greatest! 2015-2016 Season *73-9 Warriors *Gordon vs Lavine Dunk Contest *Kobe's Last Dance *Cleveland's 3-1 comeback!
Had to watch this again to get my slam dunk contest fill for this year. Update: 2022 was a complete shit show too. The dunk contest is dead. Update: 2024. We're back again baby!
yeah this year was one hell of a disappointment Simons won with a failed attempt and that's absurd. Gordon would win with both of his hands tied to the back if he wasn't injured
Foreden 2k from where ? He wasn’t behind that line , we’ve seen the free throw line 50000 times ... Aaron Gordon jumped over a mascot ! And sat in the air at the same time! Greatest dunk ever in the dunk contest
@Foreden 2k Hell no. Sitting in the air and dunking after receiving it from a mascot on a hoverboard while cuffing it at the same time, you have to be a fool not to think that Gordon won
2016 was the best all star weekend ever. Kobe's last asg appearance, west with almost 200 points, Klay Thompson vs Steph Curry in the 3 points contest and Lavine vs. Gordon in the dunk contest.
@@adinandreic.villanueva9540 First two dunks by Aaron Gordon were way better, technically creative and difficult compared to Zach Lavine. They shouldn't have had tie scores going into a 3rd or 4th dunk like that.

I see Steph and Wiggs here witnessing the best slam dunk contest in NBA history and now they are witnessing the worst slam dunk contest 😂It's crazy how fast the night changes 😂
@@boris4242 It was the worst this year. JTA was the finalist but he scored 30 in the final round, and didn't even finish a dunk. The champion won by default. Jalen Green on the other hand who was the favorite to win missed 9 dunks in the first round and was too exhausted to keep dunking so he lost
Greatest NBA season of all time: Kobe, Duncan, Garnett's retirement Greatest Dunk Contest 73-9 Greatest comeback in NBA history from 3-1 to 4-3 in NBA Finals.
The main issue is that Gordon's "sit down" dunk was worth more than 50 but that's the limit. Lavine's free-throw line windmill was a legit 50 dunk but wasn't on the level of Gordon's. Either way, still the greatest dunk-off in NBA history.
very true...sickest contest ever but nba owners had already decided lavine wouldwin bcoz everyone came to watch him but didnt expect the surprise...lavine is not happy for winning...he knows the truth
Time is running short. Believe and confess to Jesus and stop putting him aside before it is too late. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Not by works or by going to Church every Sunday (not saying stop attending) John 14:6 “Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Romans 10:9-10 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” Spread the word God bless :)
I hope these two legends come back next year not as opponents of each other, but on a mission together to save the dunk contests. Just as how Larry and Magic did to save NBA.
@@renzl1540 Before Larry and Magic arrived, NBA games were on tape delay. Meaning that they weren't even shown live due to such little interest. Even the NBA Finals. They saved the league.
He run out of tricks bro. Basically, it's amazing for us plebs but for the judges(T-Mac and Mutombo) who played and dunked a lot as well. High vertical dunks in the NBA were ordinary/standard for them. On the other hand, long jump dunks that Lavine did on his winning dunk is still special for them since Dr. J and MJ did it.
45% Aaron Gordon got robbed 45% Who’s here after last nights dunk contest(2017,18, and 19) 5% We’ll never have a contest like this again 5% This was an amazing dunk contest
Zach Lavines dunks got 50 coz they were worth 50. Aaron Gordons first 2 dunks got 50 coz the max score was only 50pts. Thats the difference. Lavine might be the better dunker overall but Aaron Gordons creativity shouldve earned him the title
After watching this so many times, Lavine's dunks were nice...really really nice, but Gordon's dunks were new, complicated, calculated, powerful, explosive...and just more fun to watch. I love them both as dunkers, but in this contest, Gordon won my vote...he should have gotten the trophy in this one. 🙂✌️❤️
The way they judge the contest though, yeah Gordon’s we’re more impressive but Lavines were still 50. He’s windmilling from the free throw line first attempt. Gordon’s over the mascot is the best dunk contest dunk ever though
This contest was stolen from Aaron Gordon. The dunk he did between his two legs was one of the best dunks I’ve ever seen. Creativity, aesthetic, style all in one.
So it was stoking cause he had a better dunk? This about rating a dunk not which dunk is better you pretty much saying LaVine dunks weren’t 50s lol come in use your head my man cause a better dunk was done doesn’t mean the other dunks weren’t 50s
uploader casually left out probably/ definitely Zacs best dunk, wonder why?? Zacs ally oop behind the back reverse was better/ technically harder than any of gordons dunks.. peeps getting fooled by flashy mascots, period
It's a common dunk that's why it got 47. Try doing a windmill or between the legs dunk from or close from the free throw line. Zach can probably do all of Aaron's dunks but not the other way around. Aaron has serious ups but Zach has ups & distance.
Kian La that 47 dunk was the amount he deserved, it wasn’t creative at all. Sorry, but I see this contest everywhere on Instagram and all people comment is “GoRdAn GoT rObBeD” no he didn’t, no from what I just saw. Lavines between the legs from the free throw line should’ve been a ONE HUNDRED fifty!
@@djxxxplicit lol do you really really think that was an ordinary two-handed hammer? Then what about lavine's first champiomship dunk? It was the FUCKIN SAME AND WORSE THAN AARON'S DUNK! what about that lavine sucker?
Feel so bad for Gordon. Other players clearly hatin on my boy. If you don't believe me, watch after each dunk and compare their reaction from both Lavines and Gordons
@@jareejones in my opinion that wasn’t as athletic or skilled as the other one. Not to say it wasn’t athletic or skilled. Just a tier below Aaron Gordon’s
Had to come here to just unsee what I saw this year. I think what’s even more impressive is that Zach and Gordon didn’t miss ONE DUNK IN THIS BATTLE. Zach literally did a free throw line wind mill and Gordon did the best dunk of all time AND THEY DIDNT MISS
If only the max score isn't 50, it would have been AG's win. His 2nd dunk is the best dunk ever it deserved a 100, even better than Vince Carter's and MJ's although both are iconic. But Lavine won this, his last 2 dunks are just better than AG's

Let's back to 2016
Not only were the dunks advanced in difficulty, they executed each one on their first attempts. Now that’s impressive.

AND they only prepared 2 MAYBE 3 for the final. The 4th one both did were completely improvised! This contest was just crazy!

That under both legs dunk should have got 100. That was the greatest dunk I've seen

Gordon should have won this contest, lavine copied gordon's first dunk, hence he shouldnt get 50, and lavine's following dunks lack of creativity
yea... why all teh contestant likes to jump over people???
What about the between the legs from the free throw line I feel like that dunk is kind of slept.. no one really talks about it
AND HIS JUMP HEIGHT WAS 6 INCH HIGHER THAN THE OLIMPIC BEST RECORD IN 2016. IMAGINE 6 INCH HIGHER THAN THE OLYMPIC RECORD. CAN U BELIEVE THAT
Agreed. He is still extremely athletic!!
The creativity and difficulty of the dunks are already impressive. What's mind blowing is that they did them all on the 1st ATTEMPT!
they were in the zone, like in kuroko no basket.
And they lightskyn niggaz crazy!!
Not Zach
we are never going to see anything like this again in a looong while im afraid
As it should be. They should implement a max 1 retry rule for future contests
That second dunk of Gordon is a master piece, Greatest dunk ever

@@MDMC313 He pushed off while grabbing the ball. No way he could get his legs up otherwise. It was still the best dunk of the contest though.

I think so, it’s better than Carter’s 360 windmill. The motion, the vertical jump, Gordon is epic.
Nah he ain’t touching Vince Carter’s dunks... or even Dominique Wilkins or others like that.

this is why the dunk contest is trash now. why put effort/creativity into a dunk? just jump from the freethrow.
@ALASTER JONES that's the dumbest response ever my friend
@ALASTER JONES dumbass bro
@ALASTER JONES he would broke his shit
2024 dunk contest was so bad i had to come back to this classic.
😂😂😂
Every year😭
After that Jaylen Brown dunk i immediately went here
2024 was DUMB contest 🤡
2015-16 season is so underrated. Kobe’s Farewell Tour, GSW going 73-9, Cavs coming back from a 3-1 deficit, and one of the best Slam Dunk Contests
underrated? people talk about it non stop
Not underrated
One of the best seasons of all time

I see Steph and Wiggs here witnessing the best slam dunk contest in NBA history and now they are witnessing the worst slam dunk contest 😂It's crazy how fast the night changes 😂
Over 5 years ain't fast my boy
last year was worse
@@moss7958 bruh after that slam dunk contest was never the same esp when Gordon was robbed 😂
@@boris4242 It was the worst this year. JTA was the finalist but he scored 30 in the final round, and didn't even finish a dunk. The champion won by default. Jalen Green on the other hand who was the favorite to win missed 9 dunks in the first round and was too exhausted to keep dunking so he lost
Word
I think if not all, most of us agree that Gordon should have won.
Lito Ts naw
Yes he should have
Both Should’ve one tbh
But he didn't :)
Debatable but ya

Gordon not walking away with at least a share of the trophy still bums me out, years later. Best dunks I’ve ever seen.
well... always thought about that but fortunately he has a much more important trophy now and absolutely deserved! kudos to Aaron!

Greatest NBA season of all time:
Kobe, Duncan, Garnett's retirement
Greatest Dunk Contest
73-9
Greatest comeback in NBA history from 3-1 to 4-3 in NBA Finals.
and one of the greatest map seasons of all time
And Cleveland’s first championship in NBA history
Facts....2016 NBA season was FIRE!
Also Kendrick won his first Grammys that year
The Skills contest was lit. So was the 3 point contest
Sadly, we'll never see a dunk contest as good as this ever again...
Had to watch this Dunk Contest again, just to forget my frustrations in this Year's Dunk Contest
It was 💩
had to. Sht this year couldn't fill what 2016 had
ong it was shi*
Trump is the worst President of all time. Including Khan
Need Ja & Ant man in the dunk contest
The main issue is that Gordon's "sit down" dunk was worth more than 50 but that's the limit. Lavine's free-throw line windmill was a legit 50 dunk but wasn't on the level of Gordon's. Either way, still the greatest dunk-off in NBA history.
very true...sickest contest ever but nba owners had already decided lavine wouldwin bcoz everyone came to watch him but didnt expect the surprise...lavine is not happy for winning...he knows the truth

I get hype everytime I watch this.

Zach used more of his athletic abilities while Aaron used more of his creativity.
Aaron did dunks I’ve never seen before he was 100% robbed in 2016
He was more robbed in 2020
Time is running short. Believe and confess to Jesus and stop putting him aside before it is too late. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Not by works or by going to Church every Sunday (not saying stop attending)
John 14:6 “Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Romans 10:9-10 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Spread the word God bless :)

Had to rewatch this battle after seeing this years 2024 dunk contest to lift my mood
haha SAME. we will never get a repeat of this battle, back to back to back perfect scores? this shit was liiiiiiiit 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I hope these two legends come back next year not as opponents of each other, but on a mission together to save the dunk contests. Just as how Larry and Magic did to save NBA.
U can thank d wade for ruining that chance
Not hating or comparing, just asking what did larry and magic did to save the nba?
@@renzl1540 the ratings were at its lowest until the both of them arrived
@@renzl1540 Before Larry and Magic arrived, NBA games were on tape delay. Meaning that they weren't even shown live due to such little interest. Even the NBA Finals. They saved the league.
Unfortunately, I don’t think Aaron will
People don't understand how hard Gordon's last dunk is, very underrated dunk
That's dunk took so much strength to fake tomahawk and then change it mid air...definitely should have won.
He run out of tricks bro. Basically, it's amazing for us plebs but for the judges(T-Mac and Mutombo) who played and dunked a lot as well. High vertical dunks in the NBA were ordinary/standard for them. On the other hand, long jump dunks that Lavine did on his winning dunk is still special for them since Dr. J and MJ did it.
I swear it was better than Lavine's last one! plus it's literally the 2nd time he does it, Gordon clearly won this, as all the dunks were better
@@jmas081391 bro that makes so much more sense now after all these years 😂
Lavine's last dunk is really impressive

The 2024 All-Star weekend is over, and once again, we are reunited here to watch the Greatest Slam Dunk contest of all time.
Zach Lavines dunks got 50 coz they were worth 50. Aaron Gordons first 2 dunks got 50 coz the max score was only 50pts. Thats the difference. Lavine might be the better dunker overall but Aaron Gordons creativity shouldve earned him the title
Exactly!
Nah the first Zach dunk wasn’t even worth 50
well put
I mean when it's a competition if one is worth 55 and the other 50 you should adjust imo
His first dunk was worth 45-46 top
After watching this so many times, Lavine's dunks were nice...really really nice, but Gordon's dunks were new, complicated, calculated, powerful, explosive...and just more fun to watch. I love them both as dunkers, but in this contest, Gordon won my vote...he should have gotten the trophy in this one. 🙂✌️❤️
Facts
he got robbed
Totally agree
The way they judge the contest though, yeah Gordon’s we’re more impressive but Lavines were still 50. He’s windmilling from the free throw line first attempt. Gordon’s over the mascot is the best dunk contest dunk ever though
Gordon shouldve saved the best for last. His best dunk was that under the legs.
Aaron's 2nd dunk is the best one I have seen in my life
I agree.. I didn’t believe it when I first saw it
He did it in his first try which could’ve gone bad if he messed up too!
@@BRBallin1 yeah doing it on the first try makes it the GOAT dunk of the slam dunk contest dunks
cant top Vinsanity in 2000
@@jorgeinostroza6675 oh it's above Vinsanity. It's the evolution.
That first dunk absolutely killed the 2024 dunk contest 😭
Gordon’s first two dunks were infinitely more creative than Lavine’s first two
Lavine's last two were easily better than Gordon's last two.
Zach just copied Gordon with less flare on the first dunk
@@xaviervega468 he just spammed the ft line dunk lol
@@kylaurence4771 He did different dunks every time. It's no different than Gordon using the mascot just about every time.
@@xaviervega468 "every time" lol
This contest was stolen from Aaron Gordon. The dunk he did between his two legs was one of the best dunks I’ve ever seen. Creativity, aesthetic, style all in one.
So it was stoking cause he had a better dunk? This about rating a dunk not which dunk is better you pretty much saying LaVine dunks weren’t 50s lol come in use your head my man cause a better dunk was done doesn’t mean the other dunks weren’t 50s
@@brandonesteves3045 I love Zach but come on man, Aaron got the 50 it's only because the scale is 50.
His air-chair dunk can score 10000.
@@JoeTheGetItGuy fax
@@JoeTheGetItGuy Lavines 3rd wasn’t a 50 but his 4th was. Gordon was robbed agree
uploader casually left out probably/ definitely Zacs best dunk, wonder why?? Zacs ally oop behind the back reverse was better/ technically harder than any of gordons dunks.. peeps getting fooled by flashy mascots, period
the second dunk from Gordon is the first time I remember being in complete awe since VC in 2000. This might be the greatest dunk I've ever seen
Its pure shock value,no one could believe what they just saw!
Yessir
Its just something about the way vince dunked. It just looks different
Vince Carter was overrated. Lmao
@@saints3824 Vince Carter was not overrated. It was 23 years ago dude. People have recency bias
Aaron Gordon won this slamdunk man
The fact that they gave Gordon a 47 is absolutely terrible
Kian La aN aBsolute tRavesty!
It's a common dunk that's why it got 47. Try doing a windmill or between the legs dunk from or close from the free throw line. Zach can probably do all of Aaron's dunks but not the other way around. Aaron has serious ups but Zach has ups & distance.
Kian La i know right
Kian La that 47 dunk was the amount he deserved, it wasn’t creative at all. Sorry, but I see this contest everywhere on Instagram and all people comment is “GoRdAn GoT rObBeD” no he didn’t, no from what I just saw. Lavines between the legs from the free throw line should’ve been a ONE HUNDRED fifty!
@@djxxxplicit lol do you really really think that was an ordinary two-handed hammer? Then what about lavine's first champiomship dunk? It was the FUCKIN SAME AND WORSE THAN AARON'S DUNK! what about that lavine sucker?

then you didn't see vince carter's in-game dunk for team USA. you're welcome kid.
@@nonchablunt who doesn’t know about that….. that man peed on the Eiffel tower come on now. I’m just appreciating the greatest of this dunk
Feel so bad for Gordon. Other players clearly hatin on my boy. If you don't believe me, watch after each dunk and compare their reaction from both Lavines and Gordons
King B there were lots if lavine dickriders. look at karl anthony townes
King B RR
karl anthony towns is his teammate, andrew wiggins is his teammate, what do you expect lmao?
King B u right
It was only Draymond Green hyping him up. I absolutely fucking hate him, but he knew the truth.
here after 2024 contest, still the best ever
Why were the players not as hype for Gordon when he was hitting his dunks? Are they more cool with Lavine
@@tidedetergent4382 The guys who were going the most hype the most often were other T-Wolves, KAT and Wiggins.
I think everyone can agree Aaron Gordon jumping over the mascot under his legs is the best dunk in the dunk contest ever
Yeah Carter was for the longest till this
I agree a hundred percent
levines windmill from free throw line?
@@jareejones in my opinion that wasn’t as athletic or skilled as the other one. Not to say it wasn’t athletic or skilled. Just a tier below Aaron Gordon’s
I mean, yes Zach LaVine won the contest, but nobody remembers his dunks. Aaron Gordon is still the real winner over time.
Ikr
Im pretty sure everyone knows he did windmill from a ft line
Lavine deserved this, his dunks were not as beautiful as Aaron's dunks , but they were so difficult
@@prodlebron both deserved it in my opinion , it have to be one winner so
Between the legs from the free throw is legendary wtf
9:50 i feel bad for gordon, he got robbed even the commentators know it.
no he zach did a free throw windmill dunk
and a between the legs
It should have gone to another round or a tie
@@RickyLao He copied most of Gordon's dunk... Until this day I hate zach for robbing Gordon
@@esther7605 most of them??? He copied one and maybe he was already planing to do it
I always come back to this year to relive the greatness of these two athletes! No contest has come close to this one!
Had to come here to just unsee what I saw this year. I think what’s even more impressive is that Zach and Gordon didn’t miss ONE DUNK IN THIS BATTLE. Zach literally did a free throw line wind mill and Gordon did the best dunk of all time AND THEY DIDNT MISS
I think everyone is dawg😂
hahahahahahhah same bro
meanwhile jalen green misses 10 in a row and ends up getting a 38 lmfao
nah gordon did miss one attempt but yea this who they needa bring bck no cap
