Have you guys seen Gerald Green's dunk suggestion for Rudy Gay? If not, then good. Don't. It sucks. He tosses the ball up, and throws down a tomahawk.

Gerald Green tried to be funny. He failed. He was thinking that Rudy Gay was dumb enough to listen to his advice. But even then, that dunk was dumb as hell. Joke's on you, Gerald Green. Your little wisecrack wasn't the joke. You are. You failure.

While we're on the subject of failure. Let's all think of all the things Gerald Green has successfully achieved.

...

Yeah I can't think of anything either. What's that? He won the Slam Dunk Contest last year? Big whoop. He's going to get destroyed by Jamario Moon. Did you see that guy's dunk attempt? Now that is dunking. Period. Whether he made it or not makes no difference. He has flair and passion. Gerald Green is a sack of false hope and disappointment.

I dislike Gerald Green.

I think the league is ridiculous to not let DH change the rim height. He formally requested the raising. It isn't like Gay or Green who are only saying they will do it because DH is doing it.

Someone made a suggestion to I think Rudy Gay. That for his teammate dunk attempt that his teammate actually try and block the shot. Then he really will jump over them.

I was just thinking about Iguodala jumped from behind the backboard with the Iverson. That, I thought, was an outstanding dunk and very difficult to pull off.

I am going to laugh when Steve Nash wins the 3-pt shoot out. I have always enjoyed the skills challenge. We also get the D-League all-star game. Put DJ and Tucker in there. But I guess they will be playing the rookie challenge game.

For some reason I am more excited this year than others. Hmm, I wonder why?

So now that Kidd is in the west, what happens with the all star teams? Does he still play for the east? Or does the west roster get upped to thirteen players to accommodate him..?

Amare definitely showed up "superman" on at least two plays tonight.

Post #54 » by **TASTIC** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:08 am

Yeah Amare got Dwight on those 2, hope they continue their careers with a TD-KG competitive/respect streak...two phenomenal power forwards

Dwight's a freak...that big and that high...wow

Makes you wonder how LeBron would go if given the floor

Dwight's athleticism is inhuman.
