Marcus Smart has taken the fifth-most charges this season. Aaron Gordon wanted no part of an offensive foul. So on a dreary Friday night, Gordon did what he knows best.
Aaron Gordon jumped over Marcus Smart like he wasn’t there
Yikes.
He jumped.
In the second quarter of the Orlando Magic’s matchup against the Boston Celtics, Gordon cleared Smart, throwing down a one-handed jam. He got the blocking foul, solidifying the super-poster as one of the most demoralizing acts in basketball this season.
It wasn’t as pretty as when Vince Carter jumped over Frederic Weis in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. But damn, that was vicious.
