Aaron Gordon of the Orlando Magic had perfect scores on his first five dunks. But flying over a guy who is 7-foot-5 was not enough for his second round of a dunk-off, and Twitter lost it.

Aaron Gordon had a perfect night performing at the Slam Dunk Contest during the Saturday night events at the NBA's All-Star Weekend. That is, until Gordon's last dunk was him flying over a player who is 7-foot, 5-inches, in which the judges' overall score deemed him less than perfect.

Gordon, who plays for the Orlando Magic, got his fifth 50 of the night, and Jones matched it with a 50. Jones then led off the second round of the dunk-off with a dunk that was less than perfect—the five judges combined to give him a 48. Three of them gave him a perfect 10 while two of them delivered nines.
