Green in the dunk contest!

Why does everyone keep harping on McCants? First of all they really weren't passes, they were lobs that had to have perfect timing. Give me a break people.

he still SUCKS!!

He'd be a good player if he just didn't make stupid decisions like give silly fouls.

Yea I don't see the problem with the lobs. Alot of players have had problems helping their partners out on lobs and passes in the dunk contest. That stuffs not easy.

Is Green allowed to participate again next year? What exactly are the rules?

Not like he'll have anything else going on.

[casey]

Nothing against Marko or Antoine but they just aren't part of the rebuilding process.

Neither is Green.

Kenny was PISSING me off big time. His glorification of Dwight's non-dunk...I'm all about creativity, but DUNK the dang ball. It's a DUNK contest. They were glorifying it because they said he "got up so high he just threw the ball in." It seemed more like he didn't jump far enough so he HAD to throw the ball in. I did NOT like the Superman dunk. Essentially it was the same dunk Moon did, but he wore a costume and threw it instead of dunking it. Then he takes away from Green's between-the-legs dunk off the lob from McCants by saying it's just a variation of a dunk we've seen before while he says D12's first 2 dunks we have never seen before. Really? Never? The Superman dunk was a cookie cutter dunk. Even if he had DUNKED it, the only original part of it would be the costume. What about Iguodala's off-the-backboard dunk from Iverson in 06? They were both variations of previously done dunks. Dwight's left hand time to right hand dunk was sweet. No arguments. Dwight's final dunk with the toy rim wasn't all that great either. Gerald's cupcake dunk was the BEST dunk all night, EASILY should have been a 50. His socks dunk was underrated, but he DEFINITELY should have done a different dunk, I'll give them that. The commentators need to be impartial if the contest is going to be decided on fan voting. ESPECIALLY if one guy is a superstar and one is a bench warmer. I absolutely HATED Dawkins tossing Green's shoes. I no longer respect him at all. Screw him. All that being said, Dwight deserved to win because he was the better showman. Green had better dunks, but Dwight sold his dunks much better. All this griping is mostly at the commentators and judges rather than the result. Dwight won it fair and square.

I thought that Greene was going to take a bite of the cake. However I LOVED the dunk! It showed creativity and hang time and he probably should have won since the "Superman Dunk" was not a dunk. I really liked the porps and all but Greene should have also tried something different for his last dunk. It seemed as he gave up after Dwight did his last dunk. I am surprised no one is talking about the disrespect Greene got from that puffy faced judge who slapped the sneakers he (Greene)had just autographed of the table. That WAS TOTAL disrespect. I knew they were going to give it to Howard....Not that I have anything against him but his last 'dunk' was not a dunk.

LOL ESPN is about to do a segment on Green taking off his shoes!

There are actually some pretty interesting undertones to Gerald's shoeless dunk, none of which he likely intended to bring up.
