Chapter 382: The Ultimate Cavaliers.
The moment Aaron Gordon finally held his long-overdue Dunk Contest trophy, emotions overtook him. He kissed it with force, celebrating what should have been his years ago.
The crowd erupted in cheers. No one questioned his victory—his final dunk, the kind of dunk that deserved a perfect 50, had sealed it.
Han Sen clapped along with everyone else. Tonight, history had been rewritten.
No longer was Aaron Gordon an "uncrowned dunk king".
Now? He was a real champion.
After the contest, Han Sen made sure another participant didn't leave empty-handed.
Derrick Jones Jr. had put on an incredible show, and though he fell just short, Han wasn't about to let that effort go unnoticed.
So, Han gifted him a brand-new 2018 Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe worth $150,000.
In the "history" Han knew, Dwyane Wade had given Jones the championship by scoring a controversial 9 on Gordon's dunk, earning himself the nickname "The 9-Point Villain."
But Han didn't need to fix things that way.
For a player like Jones, a two-way contract guy making just $70,000 a season, practical support meant more than a trophy.
