Magic’s Aaron Gordon Throws Down Thunderous Dunk vs Nets

Aaron Gordon is clearly out of this world.

Magic’s Aaron Gordon Throws Down Thunderous Dunk vs Nets

In just his second year with the Orlando Magic, the 20-year-old forward has already recently displayed two great dunks. The first came against the Los Angeles Lakers just a few weeks ago. The second came during the Magic’s home game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night.

Jumping from the free throw line — off the wrong foot — Gordon took flight to sink a spectacular dunk with about five minutes remaining in the first quarter. After receiving a pass from point guard Elfrid Payton just inside the free throw line, Gordon jumped to sink the ball with just one hand and give the Magic a 17-16 lead in the first quarter, leaving Nets point guard Shane Larkin, who seemed to hesitate whether to block him or not, and the rest of the court completely stunned.
