We Have A Tornado Warning In Chicago

Now this is the shit I'm talking about! This was why Derrick Jones Jr was my pick to win this thing and this is the dunk that punched his ticket to the finals against Aaron Gordon. Up until this point the Dunk Contest had been "meh" at best, Pat Connaughton was really the only one who had impressed. But then came DJJ with this beautiful tornado and changed the entire vibe of the night. No props, no people, just straight bounce. This is the shit that makes the Dunk Contest exciting. Seeing dudes fly in the air in ways you didn't know were humanly possible. 

Then Aaron Gordon followed this up with one of his own 

and we have ourselves a fantastic final. This has the potential to get into 2016 territory with the way these dudes can jump.
