Aaron Gordon is clearly out of this world.
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.
