Well, I was 1 of 3 and none of my guys got knocked out in the first round.

My All-Star Competition Predictions

Skills: Jamal Murray (Nuggets)
Three-Point Contest: Klay Thompson (Warriors)
Slam-Dunk: Donovan Mitchell (Jazz)
R.I.P. Dharam Raghubir (A.K.A. Magnumt)

that was rather weak.

Seriously they need to encourage stars to get back in this. Its like no one was even trying.

Also Mitchell won with that dunk...... that really was a budget Vince Carter. His 2nd round dunk was a lot better.

The judges where giving out 9s and 10s like it was no ones business.

A 41yr old Vince Carter would have easily won this if he participated in this dunk contest

Lavine has to come back and save the dunk contest again.

Mitchell played the crowd a bit. I'd give his dunks 45s rather than 50s. I didn't think Nance's last dunk was worth nearly a 50. More like a 42.

So Mitchell jumps over three kids in a ball on the floor after a miss, and wears a Vince Carter jersey - and beats a guy who bounced the ball off the backboard twice and had much better technique on all his made dunks... What a farce.

Well if they come out next week saying they're going to skip having all Star weekend next year I really wouldn't mind. This weekend so far has been pretty bad and worst of all, it's lacked energy and it was boring. Man tonight was hard to get through.

Who do you think deserved it? Everyone's dunks have been pretty meh, more force less creativity. Pretty boring.

Rachel DeMita is the highlight of the All-Star Weekend for me.

I'm in the minority that has enjoyed tonight. Then again, I've been drinking for a good portion of the night.

Well that's a bunch of hours of my life gone.

Snooze fest.

I really think Vince Carter was the last all star weekend I enjoyed. Granted I haven't watched in a bunch of years, but this weekend continues to be boring.

If Smith could make his dunks on first tries he would be a winner of this lame contest.

Thought the 1st round was a really good 1st round then it seemed like the commentators and the judges just gave it to Mitchell to put an end to the night. That 2nd round had 0 energy

FACTS. His dunk was the only legit 50 of the night.

It's not easy at this point after so many contests. That's what made the Gordon lavine one so awesome tho.


Yeah it's definitely not easy but its doable. There's compilations on youtube of dunks never seen in a dunk contest before.

DJ has the best dunk, Lance has the better overall performance probably due to his length and eye pleasing wingspan. DM just doesn't deserve it over these two.

This is easily one of the worst.
