No representation this season and I don't really enjoy posting/reading the GB thread.

Davidson could have played in the D-League game if he had stayed down there.

Dude could have played for the rookie team instead of Green.

Ammo should have played in the sophmore team instead of Brewer.

Swish should be in the 3pt shoot out.

Twiggy should be in the dunk contest.

Crash should be an all star.

McMinus should be in the skills contest (because it would be funny)

Good list

I was lucky enough to spend a little bit of time down in New Orleans back in 2003 and I 100% fell in love with the place.

That opening act tonight is the very reason.

New Orleans just oozes "cool".

What was up with the shoes the guys were wearing last night in the Rook Vs Soph game? Was there a competition between the players to see who could wear the craziest kicks?

Kevin Durant looked like Hulk Hogan:

and Juan Carlos looked like Aqua Boy!!

It's official. Deron Williams is the best PG from the class of 2005.

But only because Felts wasn't invited to compete in the comp.

Swish would have beaten him

Crash would have just leaped over all those plastic guys and dunked in mid air.

The birthday cake dunk by Green had me LOL.

Got to give it to the kid for creativity. I really like the effort that both he and Dwight have put into the comp over the past two years.

It makes it really enjoyable.

Bu Crash would have jumped over the back board from behind while eating a FULL SIZE birthday cake and blown them all away.

Dwight Howard is like a 7 foot, muscle bound 8 year old kid.

He cracks me up.

Toughest beat to Jamario Moon, then Gerald Green.

Green/Howard in 09 is something to look forward to.

That no shoes dunk by Green was seriously under rated.

Post #13 » by **Walt Cronkite** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 4:14 am

Yea, I imagine that a well polished floor is pretty hard to lift off of like that.

My ankles hurt when I get out of bed in the morning and stand up.

He jumped in the air, put a ball between his legs and jumped 40" into the air.

I liked the Superman dunk, but was it "really" a dunk?

For me, the birthday cake dunk followed by the Dwight up and under dunk were the stand outs.

Yea, Dwight's solo Rear Window dunk was maybe the sickest dunk of the night.

I like the tap dunk. The superman was just way cool though. Everything about it was tough as hell even though he did just throw it through the rim. I thought it was funny that nobody even brought it up. Initially I had no idea because he was so high in the air and the live camera was so low to the ground.

What about Moons dunk though. Why do these guys put tape on the ground if they're going to blow past it by 2 feet? I saw his teaser video but this is where it's supposed to matter. I'd like to know if he could really pull that off.

I flipped out when I saw Iggy do it a few years back and Dwights was equally as good. I just really liked the gimic of blowing the candle out. I thought that was bloody great. The camera angle from behind the back board showing Green exhale is classic.

Birthday cake was def sweet.

Post #19 » by **BigSlam** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 4:32 am

I really, really don't know why he involved Kapono chabber. Moon has HUGE hands and seems to palm the ball easliy during games so it would have made much more sense to do the dunk solo. If he had taken off 2 feet behind the foul line and stuffed it, it would have gone down in history.

One of the two first round dunks had to incorporate a teammate.
