NBA players react to the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest

Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon put on a show in the 2016 Slam Dunk contest and other NBA players absolutely loved it.

Was the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest the best dunk contest of all-time? That's what NBA players are calling it. And after seeing the dunks Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine threw down, it is hard to argue.

LaVine was able to narrowly edge out Gordon in the final round of the contest and aftwards NBA players were buzzing with excitment about the entire competition:

WOW!! #NBADunkContest
