It was at the end of the game as all the players were saying 'good game' to each other.

Clearly Williams had something different to say.

As for why he did it, we probably won't know for awhile... If ever.

With photos like that, I guess only half of the league will still come here and say Brandon isn't athletic.

Glad LA didnt embarrass us.

I was too busy paying attention to Horford saying "DAMMMNNN" to Booby Gibson, and didn't notice the Williams being a tool.

When the news showed it did they see it? I know it sounds dumb but is it something that the news outlets picked up on or were they just showing a clip and that happened to be it?

A couple things I thought were interesting about last nights game:

Aldridge is as fast as any player in that game.

Roy will never be a straight up 2 guard again. Farmar was having to pick off passes intended for Roy to run the offense. Everyone was looking for Roy to start the offense.

I thought Roy wasn't going to rest.

Roy certainly does well with an aggressive point guard next to him. Didn't matter what kind of point guard (shooting or slashing), but the more aggressive the better both that point guard and Roy looked. I wish Blake would step up and take shots like Booby did last night. Considering Blake is something like 5th in the league in 3p% I wouldn't have any complaints if he took 10 shots a game from behind the arc without hesitation. He has at least that many wide opportunities in an average game

LOL I think some of Kobes ego has
rubbed off on Farmar judging from
the Rook/Soph game last night.. .

Howards superman dunk was a joke.. .It wasnt
even a dunk and everyone went crazy over it.
I give it to him for the outfit but its a dunk contest
not a toss the ball thru the hoop contest.. .lol.. .

While im ranting & pointing out things, whats up
with people trying to dunk from the FT line?? No
one has done it yet in any dunk contest. I believe
the closest was Brent. Jordan & Dr. J, both of their
take offs were half a step inside the FT line.. .
Go back & look at the footages if you dont believe me.

:wink:

FT line dunk has yet to be done in any NBA dunk contest.

im gonna be honest, today's all star events were pretty boring.
only the good part was dwight howards dunks.

hopefully, tomorrow will be better, we will get to see Brandon Roy!

I agree with you guys. BORING dunk contest. Dwights superman "dunk" wasn't a dunk. The one where he alley-ooped to himself was tight, but the one with the mini hoop was kind of lame. No one else had any great dunks. Jamario Moon put tape out and then jumped two feet in front of it. I was disappointed by his dunks.

Can't wait for tomorrows game.

Dwight's dunks were sick.

Haha!! I wasnt trying to be a buzzkill.. .I was
just pointing out a few things that were true!!

The contest rules clearly point out you get
points for dunks and only dunks count.. .

HOWEVER I liked all the true dunks Howard
did. I thought they were refreshing which
was lacking in past years. I really liked
the cupcake dunk. I thought that was
great, Green blowing out the candle!!
But Howard was the winner, his dunks
that he completed were awesome!!

Also I stand by my FT line myth.
Jordan, Dr. J & Brent didnt do
it. Drexler attempted it in one
contest too but he didnt take
off from the FT line either.. .
It always bugs me when they
talk about the FT line dunk, lol.

The Emcee · Post #78 » by **The Emcee** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 5:46 am

I must say, the one where Howard bounced it off the backboard with one hand then slammed it with the other was crazy!

Also, gotta give the guy credit. Hes 7 feet tall. HOW THE F*** CAN HE JUMP LIKE THAT??

I dont get everyone bashing the dunk contest. I absolutley loved it. It may have been the fact I had about 6 beers before it even got under way, but I absolutley loved it.

Howard isnt human. Simple as that. He is some sort of cyborg. I dont care if he didnt make 'great' rim contact with his superman dunk, it kicked ass.

Overall a greatly entertaining dunk contest, and a awesome pre-game show(Both for the game tomorow and the parties tonight).

I liked the dunk contest overall.. .

That dunk torwards end where Horward
slapped the ball off the backboard then
catching it & did a clean slam dunk with
his other hand was awesome!!!!!!!!

I liked Greens cupcake dunk too!!
