The NBA All-Star Game on Saturday night in Toronto also featured a slam dunk contest FOR THE AGES.
There was some pretty incredible showmanship on hand, including this amazing two-hander from Andre Drummond and Steve Nash (who is, apparently, secretly a badass soccer player).
Name that Dunk! What would you call #AndreDrummond's assisted dunk from Steve Nash? Use #VerizonDunk https://t.co/cPYL0kdoHA
Very quickly, though, the competition came down to just two players: Aaron Gordon with the Orlando Magic...
And Minnesota Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine.
Let's start with Gordon, though, and this stunning leap that saw him swoop the ball behind his head, into his knees, and then back into the hoop. 👌👌👌
But his most INCREDIBLE dunk? When he leapt over the Stuff The Magic Dragon mascot as it was riding a hoverboard.
Let's just take that in again in slow motion.
He may not have won, but Aaron Gordon definitely had the #PlayOfTheNight with this NASTY slam! Powered by @JBLAudio https://t.co/p79rxpA7Qd
Drake had the appropriate reaction...
Absolutely...
Unbelievable.
Sure, that was amazing, but have you ever seen Zach LaVine soar through the air like a mother fucking eagle?!
Check out this incredible computer-assisted shot of LaVine slammin' like a pro.

Finally, when he was almost all out of dunks, he remembered there was one he had left — but he'd never really properly tried it before. OH, WHAT THE HELL. HERE GOES NOTHING.
Let's check in with Drake...
Yup. It was game over.
