Yea if hes grabbing it from the drone or if the drone is higher and hes catching it in air makes that dunk a lot more enjoyable.

The fact it had a huge ass intel logo on it just made it that much more embarrassing.

I was worried the moment AG was announced back in the dunk contest. I was worried he wouldn't live up to last years' contest... well...

I know it's all in good fun, but I wish someone would have the fortitude to actually give a dunk what it's worth. That was a five, tops, and minus one for the multiple attempts, it's a four.

Those not seeing the arena are missing the Golden Girls having a dance off with mascots.

They continue to neuter the dunk contest with all these stupid prop dunks.

90% of the best dunks/dunkers in the contests history have been prop free. we dont need this stupid disney product placement crap like blake jumping over a kia.

the production value is also weak as hell. can we dim the lights and give it that MSG feel?

no one is in to this and them add in the lame prop dunks and this is awful.

only thing wors eis the judged being so generous for the first 3 dunkers. although glad they didnt just hand gordon a 45 after like 5 misses.

to me that dunk is a 0. if you have ot do it 4 times it does nothing for me

That was pathetic from the NBA

That dunk was literally just a paid advertisement for Intel

They even gave him another chance after he should have been done
