Despite not being a star-studded dunk contest, Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine delivered in the finals big time. For the first time ever, we had a dunk-off in the finals where both men were slapping each other with perfect dunks. From Zach Lavine’s between-the-legs foul-line dunk to Aaron Gordon’s under the legs over the mascot slam, these two created a show-stopping performance.

Lastly, Kobe’s swan song was a memorable moment. Despite only dropping a meager 10 points, watching Kobe and LeBron go back and forth that one possession — which was inevitably a brick by Bryant — was a special moment for all of us to see. Even though the game lacked any defense and was an offensive onslaught by the Western Conference, the moment was something to be appreciated. Toronto delivered so many breathtaking moments, especially on Saturday night. We haven’t seen so many competitive competitions in a long time. On Friday night, the USA & World game also showed us that the NBA will be in good hands over the next few years with the performances by Kristaps Porzingis and Zach Lavine.
