Also, 80% are outraged, over 300+ people. That means Magic fans are a very small percentage of that. It's Heat fans with the bias here, not Magic fans. Let's not get it twisted.


You've made your point. You're beating a dead horse to bits

It's always hilarious when someone posts something that knows will get a response, gets a response, then essentially says "stop responding, you've made your point." You see how stupid that sounds? I honestly wouldn't have responded to that post but you're clearly talking about me and others with that. Sorry, responding to that 10/10 times.


Haven't you noticed your the one one responding in this thread? You keep referencing 'me and others'. Just let it go it's really not worth the headache over something so petty

I care about it as much as AG and DJJ clearly did. Also Wade clearly cared as well enough to cheat him out of a trophy. We need to stop acting like this means absolutely nothing to the players. Even Giannis, Kemba, LeBron, Embiid and others playing for a championship cared enough to say AG was robbed.

I started this thread, of course I'm gonna respond to it. You also said something that would get a reaction from literally anybody. That's ridiculous to act like my responding was uncalled for. It's also funny that only Heat fans keep saying to "let it go." Of course, the faster we let it go, the faster everyone forgets that Wade cheated for his boy and that AG was the better dunker.

At least AG will now have two dunks that go on every dunk contest highlight.

I dont think he values to entertain your life in any aspect. So feeling is pretty mutual I would assume.

Classy of you to talk about actual injuries and not worthless dunk competition conspiracies.

Nope nope nope.

You can’t take what I said, and try and make into something you can leverage sympathy for an ass for.


I NEVER liked Wade getting injured in 2014. The context of what I just posted shows, PRE-INJURY, he was entertaining.

I would actually have liked for his knee to stay healthy. Especially if it would keep off a dunk contest judge panel where he doesn’t provide any value whatsoever.

He really does stink. Not everybody is multi-talented. Amazing player but despite his energy for entertainment, he sucks dick at it and really isn’t likeable due to ego alone. Let alone actual talent for being funny. They gave him a microphone and the best he could do was hijack the integrity of the event itself as some weird desperate attempt at being the star.

Nope. But the fact that only most Heat fans and then 1 or 2 posters from other fanbases is pretty telling. Even LeBron, KAT, Embiid, Kemba, Giannis, and many other NBA players disagree with the notion he wasn't robbed.

And? That has no bearing on whether or not he was robbed, and that's what you tried to say.

But DJJ can literally push himself off of the MUCH SMALLER BAM in 2 attempts and get a 46. Good to know. That means something because that means Pat should've been in the finals based on the judges scoring.

Also, yeah! Stop being so risky and creative Gordon! Just do under the legs dunks all night! That'll put the dunk contest back on the map! Wait, Gordon was involved and had THE BEST DUNK on two different nights that are considered some of the greatest dunk competitions of ALL TIME? Hmm. Maybe he knows way more than some guy on the internet.

Sounds like somebody lost $ on that contest eh?
I couldn't care less about it, but from the start the judging was way too generous for every dunk that wasn't a 50 but was given a 50 there were dunks that were 50s that were given 50s and none that were not 50s that didn't have reason to be less than 50s.
It was a tie but not because Gordon was better than his scores , but rather that Jones last one and Gordon's last 1 both were not true 50s.
Originality sake its Gordon's and if he'd have cleared taco and got less than 50 you would have a argument

He was robbed. This isn't a 3pt shooting contest where there can be no bias, only results. The dunk contest is the only contest that is judged with bias and opinion. The fact that 80%+ believes he was robbed means he should've won. It's more of a popularity contest, he won that with his much better dunks. It means that if you put most people outside of Wade and his clear intentions of getting his boy the trophy, AG wins.

ShotCreator wrote:Cant tell you how disgusted I am with D-Wade.

It’s crazy how something so small can you show you so much about a person.

To bastardize an established competition with decades of precedence and FUN just to make it about yourself as the HEAT GUY. The guy who’s rooting for the Heat players. The guy who wants BAM to win! And the DJJ to win! The guy who is using them as PROPS to be relevant again.

The guy who ran away from the table while Pippen and Common looked at him like the dumb **** he is.

Then he became the guy who had the “let’s get serious” interview when he saw the backlash coming afterward, saying Gordon wouldn’t have lost sleep? This is a guy whose team just tried to trade him and failed. And REGARDLESS, what gives Wade the right to circumvent a logical process? Like the ego that takes astounds me.


Wade really believes he is bigger and more important than he is. And that’s all fine and dandy. I don’t pay attention to a lot of these guys after they retire so I don’t know what goes on with them. But was wades standing with the public good enough for him to think he could rig the dunk contest and everybody would look at that throbbing jaw, smiling and giggling and not be disgusted with it?

What an incredibly unlikeable guy in ESSENCE. It would take him saving 15 Guatemalan refugee children from a natural disaster, using his Easter island jaw as a raft for me to to even begin to like him as a person.

I don’t know about anyone else, but Wade has BROUGHT NOTHING positive or entertaining to my life for years since his one good knee went out in 2014.

So for him to do this massively tips the scale for me as him being an unlikable guy.
Lmao guys are now writing dissertations professing their hate for Wade and how Wade is such a vile person for rooting for his alumni. This is incredible :lol:

I don't bet money cause I don't do that stuff. I don't even drink or smoke, so no. I'm just a Magic fan who has seen him get clearly robbed twice after being the more creative dunker. . . TWICE. Both his competitors just spammed under the leg dunks. At least Lavine did it better. But it turns out that's all you need to win.

What's funny though is that every time AG is in the contest, it always turns into the greatest ones of all time. But people don't see the common theme in there. *cough" AG *cough*

No it doesn't. It means that 80% of fans on Realgm believe he should have won, nothing more.

If you don't like it, there are other threads. You don't have to be here.

I'm repeating because people are still not getting it. There is now even proof with this thread that most people disagree with the results of the dunk contest. Overwhelmingly so, in fact. But there are still the few Heat fans acting like nothing wrong happened and that DJJ was the clear winner. Then it's always turned around to "you guys are just biased" without looking in the mirror and seeing that they're, in fact, the biased ones. It's essentially 1 fanbase vs. 29. But somehow it's trying to be spun into the 29 has the bias. That makes no sense. That's all I'm saying.

That makes no sense. This is why it should be up to the fans. Because we put 5 people with different biases in there. One with a clear one. If we put it to the fans, AG wins in a landslide. Even current NBA players agree with that.

If anything it could have been a tie and the way it ended was questionable by the judges given how over friendly they were throughout until then but the reality is they were out of time and the man did not jump over taco he basically jumped into his shoulders and the dunk was boring = big fat L


It was a stunt so everyone loved it. That's all that was special. He hit Tacos head.. DJJ had a better night and finish.

You guys are right, 80% of the world are the lunatics. The 20% are the sane ones thinking DJJ actually earned it and Wade definitely didn't cheat. Clearly.

Also, add 2 more people impressed with the same exact dunks from slightly different angles. Cool. It's easy to fool people.


Idk why your bringing up the Wade aspect.

When Didi call anybody crazy?

Is this the overreaction drama board?

I think DJJ's dunk was harder for a normal human to do.

I think AG's dunk was more "creative" but easier to replicate. I think alot of peoe prefer "creative" in a dunk contest. I prefer "degree of difficulty" dunks.

PS. And yeah DJJ had done similar dunk,who was fooled by that? I didn't mention anything about that. I was only talking about the final dunks if the night.
