The crowd is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO spoiled man. Imagine in MJ did any of the dunks they are trying to do.

MJs most famous dunk is from a foot infront of the FT line. These dudes are killing that and the crowd is bored.

That was a letdown compared to his first dunk.

For all the crap Blake takes for his Kia dunk, at least he saved it for the end. His first three dunks that year were throwbacks - no frills, no props, no gimmicks. He even took Vince's old elbow dunk and improved on it. He and JaVale were both better than any dunker in any contest since then.

Watch out the old timers will come kill you for saying this.i don't think people realize that to impress people now they have to try so much more difficult things which leads to more misses

That was 7 points better than Gordon missing his 2nd dunk 3 times.

Still don't understand why nobody has attempted this in the dunk contest before.

Apart of Gordon fiasco it is actually quite good. The crowd is amazingly bad though.

Jones was the best by far, so far. That was a solid dunk. GR3 had a nice concept there but kind of rolled it over the rim instead of throwing it down.
