Ever since high school, the San Jose, California native has been known for his flashy, high-flying dunks that have been a staple in his highlight reels. Then a member of the Orlando Magic, Gordon took the basketball world by storm in the 2016 NBA Slam Dunk Contest where he put on a show. After two perfect scores in the final round, he went into two tiebreakers, falling just short to Zach Lavine in a contest that was highly regarded as one of the best ever. Gordon would go on to compete in two more NBA Slam Dunk Contests, including another runner up finish in a contest that went into two tiebreakers. Dunking has become an even bigger part of Gordon's game since joining the Denver Nuggets. He recorded at least 100 dunks in three consecutive seasons, including a career-high 178 dunks in 2022-23. In this year, 26% of his field goal attempts were dunk attempts, a career high in a year where he scored 16.3 points per game.This image is autographed by Aaron Gordon with a silver paint pen.
