You guys complain too much. There was a dunk contest where Glen Robinson Jr doing trash dunks. The NBA needs to prioritize holding the weekend where the fans care. That crowd in LA was trash.

Can't argue with that. She's gorgeous.

That was the worst. That, and the year before they came up with the 3 attempt rule and people were spending 20 attempts on a dunk. I forget who participated in that, but it was painful.

He has nobody to blame but himself. They invited him last year and he turned them down.

Can't really blame them for not inviting someone who snubbed them once already.

Levine, Gordon, DSJr and Mitchell would be good. No room for Brown.

Mitchell was alright but I'd rather see those other guys plus T-Ferg.

Now that would be a cray dunk contest

Meh...gorgeous face but her figure is very board-esque.

They also need to go back to having semis before the final. Judging should not be allowed to reward props use unless said props increase the difficulty rather than increase the attention and nothing more

So much this!

It doesn't help that the commentators on TV (who I know don't effect the judges' scores) lose their collective crap anytime a dunk is completed if there's a prop involved even if it's as unimpressive as Donovan Mitchell jumping over his little sister, Kevin Hart, and Kevin Hart's son (none of whom is over 5'4") sitting/squatting to make themselves even shorter.

I wish the pendulum would swing back the other way and judges and fans would stop caring so much about extravagant props being involved in dunks unless they make the dunk attempt noticeably more difficult.

She has great legs. That face + legs + her liking basketball is more than enough.

I think she also has that combination of being both hot and cute. Some women are just hot. Some women are just cute. She's both imo. And yes, she has nice legs. :nod:

Fair enough. I'm not saying I wouldn't happily enjoy an evening with her, but she's far from my ideal woman. I want/need more curve than she has to offer.

not a lot...just 3, but even if I didn't...she's pretty generic. You're in Miami you should be seeing girls like her on the street every day.

I don't live in Miami.

Being a girl that you can see on the street is arguably part of her charm. You don't have to be Miss Universe to be attractive.

Aw man Jr got robbed. His 2nd was definitely the best dunk of the night.

As one of the commentators said (I think it was Reggie), it should be 3 rounds. Dennis is too good to only show us 2 dunks. Why not treat the fans?

Mitchell was consistent, but in my opinion his best dunk was the 3rd best of the night with Nance's double tap dunk just in front of his VC tribute one. What the heck is the point of celebrity judging. Literally nobody cares about the celebrities. We're here to see the dunks. Everyone is just getting 8-10s every round. Even Oladipo got 7s for his 3 MISSED dunk attempts!! Ridiculous. Change the format, it kills it.

I get it. She ain't got curves. But damn she is cute. Not too many skinny white girls that are more attractive than Rachel DeMita out there. If there are show me the way.

Love this! One of my favorite moments in the dunk contest in a long time. Jr wasn't quite as smooth as his dad, but it was still great.

I could watch Nance Sr's like 20 times in a row. That little extra elevation on the finish. I love rock the cradle dunks in general. Always felt they were underrated.

I love the camera flashes too. Really gives it that "spectacle" look. Must have been amazing to witness that and that crowd was guaranteed to be seeing something the world had never seen before.

It's really a shame that the NBA is eternally stuck with this pathetic spectacle of a weekend.

can someone explain to me why RW has never been in the dunk contest?
