Aaron Gordon emulates NBA legend Karl Malone with ‘Mailman’ alley-oop dunk

Aaron Gordon emulated NBA legend Karl Malone with a ‘Mailman’ alley-oop dunk in Orlando Magic’s loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Gordon’s highlight play came with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Magic guard Evan Fournier stole possession in his own half and triggered a fast break with a pass upcourt to team-mate partner DJ Augustin.

With Gordon hurtling towards the Pistons’ basket, Augustin lofted a pass which the Magic forward collected in mid-air before hammering the ball home with a one-handed slam, styling out the dunk ‘Mailman’ style with his left hand behind his head.
