The 2020 NBA Slam Dunk Contest wasn't without some controversy, as one judge apparently went rogue and foiled the panel's plan to have the final dunk-off between Derrick Jones Jr. and Aaron Gordon end in a tie.
Dwyane Wade, who was one of the five judges, had an opportunity to respond to accusations that he rigged the contest in Jones' favor during the "Plead the Fifth" segment on Tuesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen." Wade declined to answer the question, though.
"I'm pleading the fifth on this one," he said.
Wade played with Jones in Miami and is a Heat franchise legend, which is why some have suspected him of being the rogue judge.
