On this edition of Throwback Thursdays, let's revisit the unforgettable Christmas game from last year, where Aaron Gordon, the powerhouse forward of the Denver Nuggets, left fans in awe with an iconic poster dunk over former Phoenix Suns shooting guard, Landry Shamet.
The atmosphere was electric, with just 30 seconds remaining in the game and the Denver Nuggets clinging to a slim one-point lead. When Shamet's ill-fated three-point attempt bounced off the rim, Gordon seized the rebound and embarked on a heart-pounding sprint down the court. With the game on the line, he soared over Shamet, delivering one of the most jaw-dropping poster dunks of the entire season.
The Denver Nuggets emerged victorious with a nail-biting final score of 128-125. However, what truly etched this game into the annals of NBA history was that extraordinary moment when Aaron Gordon defied gravity.
Relive this epic dunk in the video below, and witness a basketball moment that will be cherished for years to come.
