- High expectations? No problem.
After bringing the Dunk Contest back to prominence one year ago with a series of electrifying dunks, Minnesota's Zach LaVine picked up where he left off, with help from Orlando's Aaron Gordon.
And with the Verizon Slam Dunk on the line, Zach LaVine went to the free throw line. Well, almost.
With a through-the-legs dunk from just inside the charity stripes, Zach LaVine earned his fifth score of 50 on the night, making him the 2016 NBA dunk champ. The 20-year-old LaVine became the first back-to-back winner since Nate Robinson in 2009 and 2010.
Going against Magic forward Aaron Gordon in the contest finals, LaVine and Gordon got locked into a heavyweight bout where they traded incredible body blows. After the contest, LaVine said, "We should share the trophy, because [Gordon] did some stuff I've never seen before."
To begin the final round, Gordon completed a dunk with an unbelievable degree of difficulty, snatching the ball from Orlando Magic mascot Stuff -- who was spinning on a hoverboard -- and throwing down a twisting dunk. This earned a 50. LaVine countered by throwing himself an alley-oop and floating through the air for a one-handed finish, earning another 50.
Gordon then again used Stuff, this time clearing the mascot with his rear end while passing the ball below for a lefty finish. That earned another 50, putting the pressure on LaVine.
LaVine responded coolly, with a windmill from just inside the free throw line, for another 50. This marked the first time in Dunk Contest history the final round saw four scores of 50.
They didn't stop. In the first dunk-off, Gordon enlisted teammate Elfrid Payton to throw an alley-oop off the side of the backboard. Gordon caught the ball and completed a reverse dunk while flying through the air. 50. LaVine responded by throwing an alley-oop to himself from the baseline, catching the ball and passing it through his legs for a reverse dunk. This earned another 50.
On the second dunk-off, Gordon ran along the baseline and did a two-handed double-pump reverse reminiscent of Dominique Wilkins. Gordon scored a 47. To win it, LaVine went back to the free throw line.
The evening opened with Denver swingman Will Barton making a "Thriller"-themed entrance, wearing a red leather jacket and accompanied by dancing zombies. For his first dunk, Barton passed the ball through his legs and finished with a two-handed reverse. Barton received a 44. For his second dunk, Barton attempted several dunks, but was unable to complete any, finishing with a second dunk score of 30.
While big men have traditionally struggled to score highly in the dunk contest, Detroit center Andre Drummond hoped to change that trend. But after struggling to complete his first dunk and scoring only a 36, Drummond brought out Canadian legend and noted soccer aficionado Steve Nash to deliver an alley-oop via a kick. Nash proved to be a more accurate passer with his hands, needing several attempts and one missed dunk before Drummond finally completed a windmill off of a kick, earning a score of 39.
Gordon entered wearing a tuxedo and carrying a cane. For his first dunk he went through his legs and completed a one-handed dunk for a score of 45. For his second dunk, Gordon tapped the zeitgeist and involved Orlando mascot Stuff riding a hoverboard. After one missed attempt, Gordon then jumped over the mascot, passed the ball between his legs, and dunked it home, earning a score of 49. (Shaquille O'Neal was the lone judge to award a 9.)
For his first dunk, after giving a hug to Drake, Zach LaVine threw an alley-oop to himself, passed the ball behind his back from right-to-left, and finished with a reverse right-handed dunk, scoring the night's first 50. It was ridiculous enough that fellow competitor Drummond could only shake his head in disbelief. For his second dunk, LaVine brought out teammate Andre Miller and, after one miss, had Miller toss an alley-oop while he soared from just inside the free throw line. LaVine tomahawked the ball home for a score of 49. (O'Neal again was the lone judge to award a 9.)

This was the greatest dunk contest of all-time.
For sure
Still the best dunk contest in my lifetime.
Greatest dunk contest of all time. No doubt.
Ben Moore 2020 Dunk Contest: Hold my beer lol
2000 dunk contest was better
@@DK_75 hell naw u trippin best dunk they had was a 360 windmill, This dude did a between the legs from the free throw line.
@@DK_75 thats overrated and it isnt even a contest. vc is the only one who did an awesome dunk at that time its also because its the first time we saw those dunks that's why it looks so amazing but lavine and gordon could easily do those dunks that he did.
@@tarflariston3534 you must not know who Vince Carter was. Poor guy ,😂
"How many people could you see doing alley ups from the free throw line?"
Kevin Hart: Obviously you didn't know me when I'm younger.
"how many people you see do an ally-oop from the free throw line" kevin-" obviously you havent known me when i was younger" 😂
Vince Carter is like a dominique Wilkins type of dunker leaper with power, and Zach Lavine is like MJ, Leaper with finesse
Zach Lavines the Steph Curry of dunking.
yes
Thank u
MrDrESner that makes no sense. Y can't he be his self cuz he's god at dunking

So he chokes in the finals?
This definitely is top 5 on the greatest NBA dunk contests of all time.
this is the greatest one no discussion
@@namp0063 It's definitely up there. But also what about the one right after this one? either way Aron Gordan technically won both of them and was robbed both times.
nah, i still think aaron got robbed this time
@@goku360100 Aaron wasn't robbed at all. He used up his best dunks too early.
@@xaviervega468 Hell naw. It was Shaq's dumb ass fault for that foo to not give him a 10. He shouldn't be a judge.
Charles said that a 360 from the free throw line was impossible, but LaVine did that in practice this season🤔
wait did he? Is there any video?
André Monteiro yes look it up
He did it yesterday
@@8andre3 yea they have video of it I saw it
Yeah, happened a year later after this contest, and three days after

Zach Lavine is the Real Deal!! 3PEAT next year. He needs no props, just him & his dunks are totally AMAZING!!

art
Legend
best dunker I've ever seen even better than Jordan he jumped from exactly were Jordan did and windmilled it
Jordan did that FT dunk over 30 years ago bruh....so I would expect someone to have advanced the art by now. Jordan with modern training and diet would be doing insane stuff too.
@@patrickharrison1913 Jordan never windmilled it from the free throw line though. I love Jordan but we have to keep it real.
Xavier Vega he literally said Jordan’s dunk was 30 years ago.
@Victoria Keane well yeah, because they're professional dunkers...they dunk for a living. These guys don't dunk for a living, they play basketball for a living
Best dunker of all time
Good Job
lavine and gordon detroyed the dunk contest.. too bad for the next generation dunkers of the nba and bye bye tfb this guys proved the your dunks can be done by nba players..
El mejor donquiador de todo los tiempo

At 2:50it’s go home time it’s a rap dude is a beast
Double Champ should have been the best and historic ending for this dunk contest
One of Lavine's nicknames should be "Mister First Attempt"
Did Lavine just hit a windmill dunk from the free throw line? What!
Nice brother

Andrew Wiggins and Karl Anthony towns were just boosting lavine's dunk waay too much

I'm after a disappointing 2019 dunk contest
