Man I never knew what Walk the Moon looked like. This looks like a cheesy 80s band. Guess they kind of sound like one too, though,

There's only 4 dunkers this year?

Andre Drummond even shaved his shoulders for this.

Was LaVine's dunk not good enough for you?

That post was after will barton's entrance. I like that Lavine just came out and dunked with no BS entrance.

Fans are all de-sensitized to dunks now. Nobody is wow'd by degree of difficulty anymore, that's why they try to add all the fluff before and after.

Aaron Gordon did a first dunk that was a guaranteed 50 just a few short years ago, but nobody cared. At this point it's a lot about excitement going in. Lavine's first dunk was VERY similar to what he did last year, but because everyone knows he won last year so they were super excited about what he did.

If you remember LeBron James in his HS dunk contest..all he did was throw it off the backboard and throw down the one hand tomahawk he loves. Everybody over 6'5 can do that but everyone went crazy.

Obviously every once in a while somebody does something new, but that rare in 2016.

Shaq being a dick trying to make it all about him

That 2nd Gordon dunk was insane and easily a 50.

Um, that Gordon dunk just now was really difficult. Maybe one of the most difficult I've seen.

carey · Post #72 » by **carey** » Sun Feb 14, 2016 3:26 am

O.O Gordon!

THAT WAS **** AMAZING

People spoke too soon, that dunk contest was awesome

Devin Booker represented the Suns extremely well and in all honesty, might have saved McDonough his job. Booker was in the MVP conversation in the rising stars challenge and made it to the championship round of the 3-point contest. All of that for a 19 year old kid. Amazing. That is McDonough's golden goose right there.

Also, at this time in Curry and Thompson's careers, they were midway through their sophomore years in college, and then after that went on to their junior years in college, and have each been in the nba at least 4 years already.
