you know what? that garbage crowd deserves this unenthusiastic dunk contest

Jones Jr's dunk was an amazing dunk, people shouldn't be so committed to the idea that the dunk contest sucks and that every single dunks sucks. Tbh, that was one of the best dunks in the history of the contest, but because there's no hype, nobody's gonna give it that kind of credit.

But last year

Last year's was the closest, but I still put 2011 ahead of it.

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

Because nobody cares about these guys!

I don't know if you've seen crowd shots but it's suits everywhere. There's no fans there

missing 7 of 9 attempts is "killing it" dunks not even going in clean (DJ/GIII seocnd attempst) is "killing it"

look if you wanna say that there have been a half dozen better dunk contest winners then jordan im on board for that argument. but this is garbage outside of 2 dunks so far.

Also, if MJ was in the dunk contest, there would be energy in the crowd. need to expand the field and get a star or two to draw interest.

but dont tell me this is "killing it"

you want killing it and getting the crowd in it?

I don't know how excited even a crowd of fans would be for a guy who has 20 total NBA minutes.

Probably should have stuck with Charlotte...it's not like the NBA cut their ties with China if they were so concerned socially..the city of Charlotte was against the law to begin with..

if creativity is jumping over someone and dunking thats been done like a jillion times.

last year we saw creativity. this year... not so much

I've been more impressed with Jones' dunks so far than Robinson's.

I think PG just got teabagged.

Watch on YouTube

Although some of the dunks in the video are just variations, there's plenty new stuff to show in the NBA dunk contest...
