Brook usually sticks to himself. Ever watch NBA tv documentary on the nets.

Last year's dunk contest was top 5 worst all time. But aside from that, it hasn't been horrible recently. I don't get what all the hate is about. Blake's dunks were good aside from the lame car dunk. Dwight put on a show. Igoudala dunked from behind the backboard (never had been done). Nate's billions of misses were lame that one year but he made up for it by dunking over Dwight the next year which was really nice. People are acting like the contest has been consistently awful for 25 years :lol:

That Tucker guy messed up with his first dunk, I think he had some great dunks in bag.

yea last year was by far the worst all-time but i think in terms of creativity it hasn't been good ever since vince carter imo. i did like nate jumping over dwight and green blowing out the candle on a cupcake but vince was just flat out epic...

Nothing spectacular, misses were more impressive then makes

The best dunk was probably some guy jumping over 7 footer, he didnt make first dunk tho, didnt make it to the finals.

Hopefully tonight's dunkers will put in more effort then Glen Rice Jr did!

People are going to be disappointed when they realize what the set-up for the dunk contest is. There is no possible way for even 2 of Green, White, or Ross to make the finals. Which is stupid, since they are clearly the top 3 dunkers in the contest. The East v. West thing is stupid.

And the rising stars game last night...

The NBA needs to fix this lame excuse of an all-star weekend. Its supposed to be one of the most entertaining 3 days of the season, yet a Monday night reg season game between CLE/CHA is more exciting to watch than this garbage they are feeding us.

Like others have said, bring back the 1 on 1 tournament. Thats what everyone wants to see.

Hero · Post #39 » by **Hero** » Sat Feb 16, 2013 11:05 pm

Agreed. Any 2 of the 3 east guys would be an awesome finals.

Does anyone manage to watch today's events with League Pass? Before I log in it tells me "Sign-Up for NBA LEAGUE PASS or TEAM PASS to watch all the action", but once I sign in the display is "No games on this date". If I click the All-Star tab there's no Watch option for today. Only for yesterday's game and the All-Star game tomorrow. My Package is League Pass Regular Season + Playoffs (Installments). Any suggestions?
