Dee Brown was the originator of the dab.

You're not impressed with a 6 foot 1 dude clearing a 7 foot 1 dude and dunking it at the same time?
Something tells me that you're just mad that Jaylen had a bad showing.

I understand the need to add attempts encourages guys to be innovative and try harder things. Basically, JB didn’t embarrass himself and more importantly didn’t get hurt. He’s definitely an in game dunker though and got his points from his power. Hopefully this encourages more stars to compete as I think we’ve reached a point where other than gimmicks the event can’t add too much more content unless we open it up to guys who are just dunkers and not even g league players. Also I found the left handed glove move to be hilarious.

I only watched replays this morning. JB was surprisingly entertaining and way better than I expected. The Dee Brown inspired dunk with Tatum was as bad as I heard and was disappointing relative to the others. Maclung jumping over people was crazy but the dunks themselves were kind of boring. Still, he deserved the win. Overall I was impressed with Brown’s showing and the energy he brought to the event and I feel like he represented the Celtics really well.

I'm not impressed by the best athletes in the world jumping really high, no.
Brown was awful and deserved to lose.
The competition just isn't innovative and nothing happens we haven't seen a hundred times already.
Cancel it.

I like the dunk contest in general (this one wasn't very good though), and I feel if we canceled it everyone would want it back. I'd keep it.

The GB predictably hated JB last night lol. Before it started I'd posted: "I know damn well you guys are going to destroy Jaylen Brown if he sucks in the dunk contest so hopefully he doesn't suck."
JB didn't even suck but they destroyed him anyway. People were mad at the judges but took it out on him. I think his first dunk was better than people thought since it was a power dunk and TNT didn't show it live and in slo-mo you lose the power. And overall his dunks were solid.
Gotta admit this comment was funny though: "Jaylen Brown about to do something never seen in the dunk comp… take an ill advised jumper."
