This year’s edition of the Slam Dunk Contest saw the Miami Heat’s Derrick Jones Jr. and the Orlando Magic’s Aaron Gordon go head-to-head in a dunk-off.
“Airplane Mode Jones” took the crown, but there were plenty of incredible dunks from all contestants.
Here are the top five slams from Saturday night:
