Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon continued to wow the crowd at the Air Canada Centre after getting a steal in transition and blowing by two defenders after the whistle had blown, only to throw down an effortless two-handed reverse windmill after play had stopped.

It's dunks like this one which reminds us just how much of a high-flying talent “Air” Gordon is, which brings home the point of going back to simplified, no-nonsense dunks in the Slam Dunk Contest instead of the highly improbable, prop-filled antics that are put on display these days.
The 6-foot-9 forward is an explosive leaper with plenty of airborne creativity, and had he stuck to his innate talents, he would've had a much better shot to win the crown in this year's All-Star festivities.
Regardless of what if's, and even if it didn't count, the Toronto crowd was treated to an excellent display of aerial mastery with this sweet fast break slam.
