Aaron Gordon came up short in the Slam Dunk contest for the 2nd time, and for the 2nd time it is widely believed that he was robbed. First it was Zach LaVine, and this time it was Miami Heat dunker Derrick Jones Jr.
Although many believe this wasn’t just a straight robbery, they believe there was some bias involved.
Heat legend Dwyane Wade actually played with Derrick Jones Jr., leading many to believe he gave a biased answer – one that effected who ended up lifting the trophy.
It has been THE topic of discussion among armchair fans and TV analysts, but most recently we heard from Wade himself… sort of.
Wade joined Andy Cohen for a game of “Plead the Fifth”, in which he’s asked three tough questions and he’s allowed to not answer one of them.
…guess which one he chose.
He didn’t even know what the 3rd question was and he still chose to skip the Dunk Contest question! He must have REALLY not wanted to answer it…
