Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones Jr. outlasted Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon in a memorable 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in Chicago's United Center on Saturday that required two tiebreaker jams.
But the final result was not without controversy, with at least two judges contending afterward that they wanted the second dunk-off to end in a tie and Gordon saying he's done participating in the contest during NBA All-Star Weekend.
Los Angeles Sparks star Candace Parker, another judge on the panel, confirmed that they had intended for the second dunk-off to result in a tie.
It wasn't clear if Jones and Gordon would have dunked again had it still been tied after Gordon's final attempt. The NBA was not going to permit co-champions, and there would have been a point in which they were possibly at, when judges would have had to vote and decide a winner.
Jones and Gordon each netted perfect 50 points in the final and in the first dunk-off, setting up for the second tiebreaker. Jones took off from just inside the foul line and threw down a windmill jam with his left hand, drawing a 48 from the panel of five judges. Gordon, after a short discussion with Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, brought out 7-foot-5 Boston Celtics rookie Tacko Fall and took the ball from Fall's hands while jumping over him on the way to a thunderous dunk.
The jam was met with gasps from the United Center crowd, but Gordon was awarded only a 47, giving the victory to Jones. Everyone in the United Center was shocked, realizing Aaron Gordon has been robbed of the title again for the second time ever since the 2016 Dunk Contest against Zach Lavine.
Parker and Common each awarded Gordon a 10 for the dunk, with the other three judges which were Dwyane Wade, Scottie Pippen and Chadwick Boseman, each giving him a 9.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was of the mind that Gordon and Jones each deserved a trophy for their efforts.
