Are my ears allowed to take out a restraining order on Kenny Smith's mouth?

Evans two dunk was pretty nasty. Other than that and George's lights out dunk, this contest will be forgettable. Kinda knew it going in, John wall needs to be in it. He had the best dunks all weekend so far.

.....courtesy of TNT


They have to open the field back up to 6 or 8 guys, and also make sure that young stars show up. In the old days it was often the dark horses you never heard of, or the stars, who carried these contests. Last year's was a total set up for Blake Griffin, along with a built in KIA sponsorship. The dunk contest used to be the highlight event. Now it is a joke.

Honestly, don't you think Terrence Williams would absolutely ruin these guys? I'm sure there are others out there who could give us a show if only given a chance. Instead we get to hear A LOT of TALKING.

Should have brought the kids who ACTUALLY dunked over a camaro convertible in the middle of the car, not the hood. If this years is worst ever, last year had to be most epicly worst ever. It's shamed up.
Why don't we treat dunks like snowboarding tricks, do 540,720,1080s and stuff.

I'm with shaq.....where are the superstars in this contest. Did anybody see the video of the 12 year old kid Solomon calling out lebron for not doing the contest? Kid makes more sense than anybody.

Absolutely. Wall would be great. Westbrook could probably give us a show. The thing is that I'm sure that there are some no names who could really open your eyes, like Dee Brown and Spud Webb did. They don't get a chance, though. More dunkers, less talking, and BRING BACK THE JUDGES. This text vote crap is awful.

No idea why lebron never did this.

More superstars please.

Looking back, if Evans didn't do such a lame dunk to start it off, he was the winner hands down. Loved the two handed dunk.

Also, people are getting toooo creative while not thinking of the obvious.

I like where George was going but I woulda went with a glow in the dark ball and an outfit with EL wires. I'm pretty sure that's what Blue Man Group uses, or something very similar to it.

The ball was glow in the dark but nobody charged it. You have to put those things near a bright light to activate the glow molecules. That ball was fresh out the box, not good.

It's like nobody thinks things through. I like bones' idea of doing heats where everyone goes one after another until time is up.

Stars, judges, and better dunks or ill be doing something else after the skills challenge next year. That sheet was better than the dunk contest.

skills challenge was by far the best this year, and it really shouldn't be. the dunk contest is such a joke, if they don't put actual dunkers in it next year, i hope no one watches.

Who was it last night who talked about how Hart was named the MVP because of his movie? Sooo right, because arne duncan was >>>> hart.

Now they'll be showing him as the mail-man in the dunk video package of Evans winning it.

Kia Optima all over again :noway:
