Well that was uneventful. Time to change up the dunk contest. Time to get in real judges in, scored on style, execution and difficulty. Dunks are announced to the judges so they know what they are looking for.

How do you give a 10 to a 17-year-old dunk?
I just tuned in for the last round, but I don't think I'll be watching this contest.

Too bad Gordon couldn't finish anything (is he hurt?) cause he is the only guy with an ounce of creativity among those guys

Cavs disappointed in Kyrie for losing 3pt contest.
Apparently Lebron likes DeAndres hips when he dunks.
Trade looming.

Well you should have watched Fultz get destroyed by Markaanen tonight? After all, your team will have a very high pick barring a 20 game Nets winning streak.
Probably should have, haven't paid very close attention to the NCAA. What do you think of Fultz?

You can tell his foot injury was still bothering him. He didnt have the same hops. If he hit that 360 under both legs on the first try. It would of been over.

Also became extremely cocky about his abilities while I was in school; then again the whole Michigan team from 12-16 has failed in the NBA

Sad part is that statement may actually be true. This dunk contest was very disappointing. I know Gordon had a foot injury, but Derrik Jones and Robinson don't really have any showmanship. Doesn't help that the crowd was dead as well.
Best part of the night is definitely the tribute to Craig. <3

I'm in favor of NBA legends sponsoring an amateur team of dunkers and deciding whose team is best after that last round.

If you've been following the Magic this season, you should have expected that pooper performance from AG. Everything we touch turns to poop this season.
