OT This Years Dunk Contest: Zach Levine, Andre Drummond, Aaron Gordon, and...Will Barton!

free throw line (kinda) x 4 = win.

got a little yawn tbh...

the Gordon + mascot under the legs one was the dunk of the night easy, pity he just ran out of ideas after that.

 

Zach Levine is the most naturally impressive dunker I've seen since Carter. After an era of prop-driven gimmicks, it was refreshing not to see Kias or 12-foot tall hoops. Levine just looks effortless doing dunks that are incredibly hard.

I'd love to see a dunk contest between a prime Julius Erving, Michael Jordan, Vince Carter and Zach Levine. All of them relied on grace and power, rather than non-basketball gimmicks. It's a shame that Levine isn't a star or superstar; fair or unfair, it's always more fun to see giants of the game doing incredible stuff in these contests.
