That's a wrap on the rap. Aaron Gordon said Tuesday that he and Dwyane Wade don't have any ill will over the Orlando Magic star's "diss" track that called out Wade for his vote in the dunk contest.
Wade was one of three judges -- along with Hall of Fame forward Scottie Pippen and actor Chadwick Boseman -- who gave Gordon a score of 9 during the dunk-off, resulting in Gordon losing the title to Miami's Derrick Jones Jr.
Gordon put out a track titled "9 OUT OF 10" calling out Wade. The former Heat star responded on Twitter, saying "trademark 9/10, make some money off it. That's free advice that I won't charge him for it, since I costed him a mill..."
"I hear that and I kinda just am like, I think that was a response to the diss track without going back into the studio," Gordon said during an interview on SportsCenter. "So I take it with a little pinch of salt. But it's really cool, man. Me and D-Wade, we talked a little bit about it -- he told me he liked the song; I told him I liked his wine. So everything's good."
Gordon, 24, said making the song helped him process the event.
"People would ask me for it, so I just gave the people what they wanted, just my perspective," he said. "I had to talk a lot about my opinion and my perspective on the dunk contest, so I thought this was a fun, creative, expressive, uplifting way to voice my opinion and tell the world what I was going through and what I was seeing on that day."
