Most might not be in the same boat.... but... AG... thank you for representing Orlando once again and doing it in a Magical fashion. The guy is an impressive mix of size, power and athleticism. And he really is a stand up individual. In my book you are a 2 time slam dunk champion and many others will agree. The things you can do on the court are eye opening!

Watch on YouTube

Thank you once again!

p.s. let's not try and populate this thread with negativity.... or agendas. keep that jive in the designated thread.

Greatest NBA dunk contest participant ever. Better than Vince, better than Jordan, better than 'Nique, better than Lavine. Don't need trophies to tell us that.

DJJ just signed an endorsement deal with Puma. THIS is why winning this kind of stuff is important. Recognition. Branding. Its a huge deal to these guys.

I just had to come to this thread to state my disgust for Miami Heat fans generally. The SoFlo attitude is honestly so different from anywhere else. The arrogance and refusal to be decent is obscene.

Anyway. Proud of AG’s performances. Hoping you can continue adding to your game and refining your talents and become a true star.

Lived there for a few years. Miami and the majority of people that live there are trash. Not surprising that most of their hardcore fans are also trash.

Miami is a dump, a cesspool. They all know they had to cheat to get their fake champion so let em’ have it. The whole world knows AG really won.

He is definitely getting the love from everyone! Happy that he has so many people to come to his corner. It would be great if a group of them literally came through and gave him a trophy.... or a belt saying "The People's Champion"! :lol:

He's gonna strive to be part of All Star Weekend .... and it won't be part of the dunk contest. ;-)

So that makes Dwyane Wade "The People's Chump".

We should bombard Gatorade to drop Wade and offer Gordan an endorsement deal

Just went back and watched the 2017 dunk contest again with Derrick Jones Jr,

What do you know, 3 dunks were pretty much identical to what he did this year, he just botched them back then.

All 4 dunks were left hand throw downs, with 3 out of 4 under the leg.

Absolutely zero originality or creativity.

They probably colluded knowing that Wade was going to be a judge.

I would laugh so hard if he made the all star game some day and did everything BUT the dunk contest out of spite. That would be just too much power.
