OT Dunk Contest

[UGA Hayes]

I thought as far as the dunks go it was pretty entertaining. Lets face it though, they probably couldn't have held the all star game at a worse destination. You put that Dunk contest in Boston and it would have been more electric.

He had 2 creative dunks (only someone his size and abilities could keep his head on the other side of the backboard) to Green's 1 birthday cake dunk. I think it is clear by now that creativity is not one of Green's strong points.

If I'm not mistaken AI2 keept his head behind the backboard when he preformed his dunk a few years ago. Wich is what Howard stole to do that dunk. Except he has such a long reach that it wasn't that impressive.

AI2's dunk however was originial and to see such little room for error he had with his reach was very impressive to me. It's the last time I saw a dunk and was really impressed. He got robed that year I don't care what Bitch Robinson did.

Woops my mistake, his head was under the basket by the time the ball went through the hoop.

So you make 3 paragraphs of an argument and then debunk your own argument with one sentence in the end with another jab at Dwight. Nice.

What's funny is the only people saying Dwight shouldn't have won are Toronto fans - which is understandable with Moon on their team and their inferiority complex - and Celtics fans. I'm just curious why Celtics fans still like Gerald Green enough to do that though. The guy is a pretty horrible basketball player and he didn't do anything when he was actually on the Celtics.

Not sure who you are referring to, but I didn't see any post suggesting that Green should have won.

You don't seem to be able to take ANY kind of criticism about your team or its players, do you? And to show your own inferiority complex (yours, not your team's or your team's fanbase), you go on and attack not one but two whole fanbases in one strike: if their opinion doesn't match yours, then there is something wrong with them. Good thinking!

I thought Dwight definitely should've won, but I do think that his dunks and the dunk contest overall were/was vastly overrated.

I have no idea why Gerald did the between the legs dunk two times in a row. Very lame. I wasn't really impressed with the windmill either, definitely not worth 9's. And Jamario Moon, are you kidding me? He should get 3's across the board for putting the tape a foot behind the line and taking off 2 feet inside the free throw line. People do that dunk every year but take off well inside the free throw line. Please stop. Rudy Gay was just boring and really not creative.

Dwight was good and clearly the best to me, but I didn't think he was great or close to how people acted (2 of the top 5 dunks ever? please...). The AI2 dunk is nice, but I've seen it already and it's just not a 50. The Superman layup was very creative and he got up incredibly high, but he didn't even dunk the ball and he took off from well within the free throw line. Again, not a 50 and really not even a dunk. Make him do it again where he doesn't do a layup. Last dunk was nice, not special, and like all the dunks...graded way too easily.

One thing they need to do is have the judges be a lot tougher. Give out 50's for truly ridiculous dunks. They hand out 9's like they are candy. All you need to do is a nice dunk and they hype it up to be insane with 9's and 10's across the board. Give out 5's for slightly above average dunks, not 8's. The scoring is way too easy.

I still like to watch it, but it's definitely not back (despite Magic saying it is back about 5 years in a row), and it's very overrated.

AGREE 100%

The highlight of the dunk contest had to be Dawkins knocking Geralds shoe's off the table after his last dunk LMAO
