Sorry Ibaka, it seems a FT line dunk now only deserves a 46 for the NBA.


Pretty sure McGree, DeRozan, or Ibaka could have jumped over the hood of a car.

Oh well. It is what it is. Like the other guy said, I think people will appreciate Serge's dunk as time goes on.

I agree Serge got robbed, but that Griffin Windmill was something else. If you can honestly say that was "just a basic windmill", without any bias, then I just don't know what to say. The power, body control, and elevation on that dunk was out of this stratosphere. It was obvious from the get go though that Griffin would be a finalist. There was too much hype surrounding him to be eliminated in the first round.

Serge put on a good show though and I'd definitely like to see him perform at next year's SDC.

Ibaka's free throw line dunk was sick. I couldnt believe he didnt get more credit for it.

I was laughing during his stuffed animal dunk because it was being called original. I was telling everyone as soon as a I saw that animal what he was going to do because its a dunk that fellow countryman Christian Eyenga of the Cavs used to win an African League dunk contest. Ibaka put a better dunk down but still the same concept. Too bad he didnt include the hot female though. From what Ive heard, Eyenga and Ibaka are friends so Im sure Christian offered up the idea.

Hey Heat fan here, just wanted to come by and say that Ibaka was robbed. Was a perfect free-throw line dunk. Deserved a 50 and a standing ovation from Dr. J and Brent Barry. Maybe they were just jealous?

Durant dominated the all-star game, scoring 34 points and sealing the game for the west.

Westbrook also had a great game, outplaying other pg's like rose in half the minutes. There was an article written by someone who said that after watching this game he believes that westbrook has more potential than rose. I'll see if i can find it
