Is it me or did A.C. Green give everyone 10's?

I find the D-League dunk contest more entertaining than the NBA one. They have a lot of sick dunkers plus they don't rely on props as much as the NBA does.

I'm amped to see what Budinger and George bring to the contest. Budinger because you normally don't see white players in the contest, and George because the kid looks like the next T-Mac. I think it's unfortunate that Indiana doesn't get enough games on the national schedule.

Rudy was in it, Birdman was in it, Brent Barry won it... And then there was Tom Chambers and Bob Sura too.

There have been white guys.

What was the question?

I'm paraphrasing a little:

Questioner: "Should teams in a Dwight Howard situation get more compensation in the event that they leave, like a Top 5 Draft pick?"

Stern: "No, why would we do that?"
