Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon is one of the NBA’s best dunkers today.

Now, […]

Casual NBA fans probably only know Aaron Gordon for his theatrics in this past season’s Slam Dunk contest.

The art of passing is a beautiful thing to watch in sports, especially in basketball.

There’s an easy solution to the Orlando Magic’s crowded front court problem. Turn Aaron Gordon into Paul George. That’s what new head coach Frank Vogel is thinking at least.

The Orlando Magic have a pretty simple goal—they want to add big stars. Since trading Dwight Howard back in 2012, the team has not only lacked star power, but they have struggled to contend.
