Saturday’s dunk contest may have been the best we’ve seen in the history of the NBA’s All-Star festivities.
Minnesota’s Zach LaVine and Orlando’s Aaron Gordon took turns wowing the crowd with gravity-defying dunks. The reactions from spectators may have been the only thing more entertaining than the dunks themselves.
Let’s power rank the best reactions from an amazing night of dunking.
1. This little guy can’t believe what he’s seen
I don’t know who this kid is, but he gets a 10 for this reaction to what was definitely the best dunk of the night.
2. Dikembe Mutombo is overwhelmed
It’s all too much for Mount Mutombo.
3. Steph Curry takes it out on the ball
Hasn’t that ball been through enough, Steph?
4. The moment Andre Drummond realizes he has no chance
Drummond is ready to pack it in after LaVine’s first dunk.
5. Karl-Anthony Towns is uncomfortable
Towns was either impressed with Gordon’s first dunk or he’s in serious pain.
6. LaVine realizes he has competition
Gordon’s second dunk was a warning shot for the defending champ.
7. Tracy McGrady throws in the towel
It must have been hard handing out all of those 10s.
8. Teen is overcome with joy
LaVine’s final dunk was almost enough to get him off his phone. Almost. Jason Sudeikis was also very excited.
