I want to see someone break the damn rim off. Don't go for flash, don't go for finesse, just slam that ball as hard as you can through the hoop.

No wonder the ASG is rarely ever held here.

Agreed. This is the quietest crowd I've seen in a while. Even Atlanta fans were louder.

Because it's a contest to see who has the best dunks, not a contest to see who has the most elaborate props followed by an average dunk.

I wonder if people were saying the same thing after Jordan and Wilkins' dunk contests. It's hard to come up with new stuff but it doesn't mean it's impossible.

Its like once Kenny Smith got out of the way. The dunk contest got better.

Interesting.

Rubio's face when he was making that pass is adorable.

Ok the Evavns dunk wasnt bad but guys...back in 2005 Josh Smith did the same thing dunking over Kenyon Martin and he also windmilled it...someone find that on Youtube please. And Derrick Williams' dunk was what Blake couldn't do last year, nice dunk.
