When you have the bounce of a trampoline residing in the soles of your feet, that kind of birth defect is only really good for a couple things. Either taking your talents to All-Star Weekend to showoff for the most popular event or using those hops to brandish your scrotum in the face of the San Antonio Spurs. Eric Gordon has one of those options covered as he recently put Tim Duncan and James Anderson on a pin-up poster with his tomahawk jams.
As exciting as all this was, real players know a dunk is only worth two-points. The Clippers fell to the Spurs 97-88 as well as 0-4 on the season. Less SportsCenter and more sportsmanship, fellas.
Update: So apparently he has been in a contest and the dreadful performance was washed away from my memory for the better. So how about “Eric Gordon Should Give The Dunk Contest Another Whirl?” Yeah, I think we’ll roll with that one.

That dunk on Duncan was nasty.
But that rock head Chuck Smith had to knock out George Hill out of the game. George is on my Fantasy team and was on a verge of a big night. Thanks Chuck!!
Dunk contest for Air Gordon? IDK. We’ve seen how certain in-game dunkers perform at these things (hai Shannon Brown).
Not to discredit my dude, Gordon, but there is a recent dunk that out shined that one. Collison on Williams(76ers v.s. Pacers) That was poster of the year worthy, right there. I just advise y’all to watch that. Gordon definitely embarrassed Anderson, though.
he lost the dunk in to derozan earlier this year

If you watch that second vid in slow motion (or x-mo lol) does he travel? I’m kind of confused as to what’s a travel in the nba these days…like you can take 3 steps now right? does the first step count as a “still dribbling step” because the ball is still coming up from the dribble…if thats the case then couldn’t you take as many steps as you want while the balls still coming up from the dribble? lol i’m probably not making any sense but it has racked my brain
Yo Type…. I thought the same thing. He travelled, dude took 3 GIANT STEPS.
it’s only traveling if it looks awkward. nba officiating is all sorts of sketchy.
lol @ “OHH! ME-OH MY!”
