The post Nuggets star Aaron Gordon’s unbelievable 360 lob throwdown is worth 100x replays appeared first on ClutchPoints. Aaron Gordon ’s dunking artistry was on full display once again during the Denver Nuggets’ matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon dropped a legendary quote after throwing down an absurd 360 alley-oop dunk on Saturday.

During his first game of the season, Denver Nuggets forward had arguably the best game of his NBA career. But it also represented an odd coincidence.

Fifteen fourth-quarter points to pilot an epic comeback and set up the shot of Nikola Jokic’s life. A 38-point throwback to carry a short-handed team without Jokic, Jamal Murray or darn near anyone else. A bittersweet 50-piece. “I was just up there getting hyphy,” he said.

The Golden State Warriors, led by a 42-point performance from Stephen Curry, edged out the Denver Nuggets 137-131 in overtime. However, it was Aaron Gordon's career-high 50-point performance that caught the eyes of many observers. In addition to 50 points, Gordon racked up eight rebounds and netted an absurd 10 out of 11 3-pointers.

Holding serve in the non-Jokic minutes can be the difference between chasing a game and managing it. That kind of big-man— Big Val— basketball is mandatory if the Nuggets want to survive stretches against top-tier opponents. Every contender needs reliable relief for its superstar.
