Simply awful. Those pathetic "superstars" need to get in to the contest.

Carter, Bryant, McGrady all the guys from the past made their names in it.

LeBron, Wade etc are all weak

I love how before the etc, the only players you name are Lebron and Wade, two HEAT players.

What about Durant/Melo/Rose/Westbrook/Wade/Lebron etc???

i think that skill challenge and 3 points challenge were more exciting than slam dunk contest this year

worst piece of crap dunk competition i've ever seen

Even though the 2 ball dunk was nice prolly the best of the night, u can't have the WORST dunk ever and win.


Jason Richardson ‏ @jrich23
I jus want to see one dunk contest without all the antics. Take it back to the days of just dunks and not a theatrical performance....


Jarrett Jack ‏ @Jarrettjack03

Dude, you're a raptors, magic and heat fan? What a bandwagon fan lol.

A LeBron vs. Kobe dunk contest final would be great even though Kobe probably can't fly like he used to. Especially with fan voting. Could you imagine all the kobe/lebron fanboys blowing up twitter? Might crash the internet.

I didn't think the dunk contest was that bad. I like the glow in the dark, the blind fold and the over the motorcycle.

Jeremy Evans had a GREAT DUNK

The winner got 29%. Out of 4 players = Everybody was equally ****.

Was just gonna mention that. Winner out of 4 barely gets more than 1 out of 4 votes? Pathetic.

should make it a rule if winner didn't get more than 50% of the vote
top 3 go do it again
no 50% vote
then top 2 go do it again
eventually someone will get more than 50%

Actually I am mainly a Raptors fan, but I have also rooted for the Heat and Magic franchises since early 2006

Skills challenge was best of the night, followed by 3 point contest, then shooting stars

Paul George's performance would have landed him second or third place any other year. Felt like he should have won. People voted for Evans based on his one dunk, should be based on all three as a whole. Just another reason why fan voting is a bad idea. Can't rely on the public to remain impartial.

I"m a Timberwolves fan and Derrick Williams' stunk it up except for his second dunk attempt.

George had the best overall night from start to finish. He didn't land his first or third dunk in the amount of time he wanted to, i'm sure. But those were also two of the more difficut dunk attempts of the night. He landed a 360 windmill in the dark on his first try.

Comparison:
Jeremy Evans dunk 1 - Nothing special, just held onto the rim forever
Jeremy Evans dunk 2 - Excellent dunk, very difficult
Jeremy Evans dunk 3 - Entertainment, but feel like 80% of the guys in the league could jump over Kevin Hart

Paul George dunk 1 - Unbelievably hard, tried to get an alley oop, and dunk over 7'2 hibbert, still ended up jumping over Hibbert wtihout the alley
Paul George dunk 2 - Difficult, good show and creative, something that hasn't been done before
Paul George dunk 3 - Very very hard, took him forever to do it. But eventually got it done.

Evans' first and third dunks are things that any of the other contenstants could do. I don't think anyone in this dunk contest could have pulled off George's first or last dunks and nobody had anything more creative than his second attempt.
