If there is a human being on this earth who can dunk from the three-point line, Aaron Gordon is that person. He already won last year’s dunk contest, but imagine him winning it again this year by pretending to do a normal free-throw line slamjam but instead jumping from like 10 feet further back. SICK.
I figure he only needs a few rounds of horse steroids injected right into his calves for this to happen. That’s it. Nothing fancy. Ethicians and moralizers might find fault there, but roiding Gordon up for the sake of this task is certainly within the accepted boundaries of ethics. It’s only a few roids. Not even that many, and the world would be so enriched by such a dunk that he could kill a whole Swiss alpine village for the cause and people would still be okay with it.
I consider this performance a portent of his dunk-contest plans. Don’t believe me? He hit some threes this game, and he converted some dunks. Dunks + threes = dunk from the three-point line. Can you argue with that logic? You cannot. It is simply unassailable.
