Pretty disgraceful to the NBA that Lebron James hasn't been in the dunk competition but Plumlee has. WTF?


Actually, he has some good tricks but somehow he didn't bring out for this contest.

Lavine put on a show but I was rooting hard for Oladipo... so much more charismatic.

Zach has no "power" in his dunks although his dunks show very high athleticism..

I thought Oli's 540 was a better dunk to be honest.

Not a 540.

He even held up a sign that said Mr. 360 afterwards.

The other side of that side had Mr. 540 written in with pencil/pen. I'm guessing he wasn't sure if he was gonna be able to pull it off and had the sign ready for whatever outcome.

he's annoying. He did the same same thing during Vince's dunk back in 2000.


Not to mention, "Here's my top 10 dunks of all time. Here I am at number 10, just to show everyone I was actually in the dunk contest." That was pathetic.

or "I was in the 3 point contest..." We get it, Kenny.

His act is tired.

LeBron just said he never really pays attention to what he does statistically.

He once wore a shirt that said "Check my stats"

I am a fan of LeBron, but I cringe when he calls himself "King James."

Whether he does it intentionally or not, it's genius. The amount of attention he draws for doing the smallest thing is brilliant for his own marketing. I mean who gives a sheet what he says on twitter or what he said to Dwayne Wade?

I think Kenny is full of crap. He acts like Madison Square Garden is only place that you get energy for doing cool stuff like great screens and etc.

Boy, in Energy Solutions in SLC, people here know basketball. We only have celebrities at certain times of year, but people here are just as big of fans and knowledgeable as New Yorkers, probably more so. However, I will say we are probably way more biased, were like a Celtic game, you got bloody screaming, and ravage against other teams.

I like Kenny's enthusiasm commenting on dunks and 3s...

From now on, dunk contest should have new rules:
- no players taller than 6'8" is eligible to participate
- each participant is only allowed 1 between the legs dunk, just to force creativity


Dipo looks like a broken man after LaVine's first few dunks... he knew he's not gonna beat him. But his 540 dunk was innovative, that's what fans come to see, it's his best dunk, you aren't supposed to do your best dunk in first attempt... should do that in the finals round.
