Fans are already arguing that this was the best dunk contest in NBA history. Here are some outrageous facts that support that argument. Gordon jumped so high for his under-the-legs-over-the-mascot dunk, that he would’ve placed third in the high jump at the 2012 Olympics. And LaVine jumped from such a long distance that he could’ve jumped over a 4-door sedan—the long way.
Check out the video below for more awesome facts about those legendary dunks.
