Aaron Gordon was so bitter about losing the dunk contest (again), he said never participate again.
But he hasn’t completely moved on.
The Magic forward released a song called “9 OUT OF 10" directed at Dwyane Wade. Wade’s controversial judging – giving Gordon a nine for his dunk over Tacko Fall – clinched victory for Derrick Jones Jr., another member of the Miami Heat.
My favorite lyrics:Ride the heat the Windy City, did you see the damn coat?
Saw you in the hallway, you say “youngin, put on a show”
Didn’t know that’s the code for you about to get rolled
Even Adam Silver told me I deserve the gold
Didn’t got the trophy, but I got somethin’ to hold
Deez N***A few thoughts:
- Gordon sipping Wade’s wine is a nice touch.
- The song starts slow, and Gordon is no Damian Lillard (the NBA’s best rapper). But flow eventually gets rolling. This fun.
- Did NBA commissioner Adam Silver really tell Gordon he deserved to win? I wonder how Jones would feel about that.
