Orlando Police send funny tweet over Aaron Gordon Dunk Contest robbery
Most fans agree that Aaron Gordon got a raw deal in Saturday’s NBA Dunk Contest, losing to Derrick Jones Jr despite dunking over Tacko Fall in his final dunk of the night.
That feeling clearly extends to the Orlando Police Department. On Saturday morning, the department’s Twitter account posted a funny message suggesting they’d be reaching out to Chicago Police for an investigation into this robbery.
We plan on reaching out to Chicago Police today to investigate @OrlandoMagic forward @Double0AG being robbed of a dunk contest championship last night.

They’ve gotta stick up for their guy, and they’re certainly doing that. Gordon only got a 47 on his final dunk, one point lower than Jones’ 48. Most viewers felt that was unjust. To make matters more intriguing, there was apparently reason to investigate: one of the judges blamed a colleague for screwing up the final scoring.
