Gordon, who also lost a memorable dunk contest to Zach LaVine in 2016, said he was done with the contest. Four 50s in a row in an NBA dunk contest, it's over. 'I did four straight 50s - five straight 50s,' Gordon said. Gordon thought his dunk over Fall deserved a higher score than he got. Put your card up for who had the best dunks.' 'I really felt it was an even battle, and we, as judges, felt the scores should be even and they should just have a judge-off,' Common told Shelburne. Parker and Common each awarded Gordon a 10 for the dunk, with the other three judges - Dwyane Wade, Scottie Pippen and Chadwick Boseman - each giving him a 9. The jam was met with gasps from the United Center crowd, but Gordon was awarded only a 47, giving the victory to Jones. Gordon, after a short discussion with Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, brought out 7-foot-5 Boston Celtics rookie Tacko Fall and took the ball from Fall's hands while jumping over him on the way to a thunderous dunk.

Jones took off from just inside the foul line and threw down a windmill jam with his left hand, drawing a 48 from the panel of five judges.

Jones and Gordon each netted perfect 50s in the final and in the first dunk-off - setting up for the second tiebreaker. The NBA was not going to permit co-champions, and there would have been a point - which they were possibly at - when judges would have had to vote and decide a winner. It wasn't clear if Jones and Gordon would have dunked again had it still been tied after Gordon's final attempt. Los Angeles Sparks star Candace Parker, another judge on the panel, confirmed that they had intended for the second dunk-off to result in a tie.
