There were some cool dunks, check it out.
The sticker one was fun, and the Nate Robinson facial expressions were
great.

For a minute, I thought Nate was gonna rob everyone again this year. Gerald deserved the in, but Dwight got robbed on his sticker dunk

BstonBruin

Gerald Green is unbelievable...many people are starting to say that he could be Tmac or a Bryant in a few years, he pretty much has the same exact frame as Tmac.

The Dee Brown dunk was unbelievable and same with the windmill from the side he did in the first round

Black CL-S 4-Life

Green's dunk was sick. Gotta love the local guy from Houston.

I feel like this competition gets worse every year There's only so much you can do...

Gotta give it to Dwight Howard though that sticker was impressive and original.

BstonBruin

I actually thought otherwise...pretty entertaining this year I'd say. However, I just don't think guys that are 6 10+ should be in the dunk competition...there really is only so much they can do

CUNextTuesday

Yeah, unless they let them put that basket at 12 feet....

That's why I like watching Nate Robinson - looks so much better when a short guy gets up there. That first dunk was sickkk too.

Did Tyrus Thomas get a check like he thought he was going to? He's my boy from LSU but that was a boneheaded statement about only doing it for the money, we all know that you're there for the money

BstonBruin

Nope, he wasn't anything special. I thought if Gerald Green doesn't win it, that he'll take it home but I guess not.

i think all the dunk participants got 15k just for being in the competition. agree that the dunk contest gets worse every year but at least green's windmill alley oop off the side of the backboard was really good.

BstonBruin

yeah Pierce set that up nicely, I doubt its easy to perfectly lob it off the side

sonnyg80

dwight definitely got cheated out of the finals...

here's what he wrote on his sticker for those of you who don't know:

the whole contest was "meh"

Sticker dunk was my fav.

BustedJack

There is so much talent in these guys..... and they are getting younger!

S14 n Tsx

I even thought that windmill was boring.

S14 n Tsx

but, still think those young talent players needs to go to college to get educated before nba.

ChodTheWacko

I think people who show something creative and new should be given props, even if it's not so spectacular. Jumping over people is now a 'been there, done that' although jumping
over a cardboard cutout of the previous winner was a hilarious idea.

I think the really spectacular dunks are kind of used up. It's time just for having fun.
I thought Last year's stoudamire dunk off the head-butt lob was brilliant last year.

S14 n Tsx

dang, what a guy!! I really like this guy. He is going to be one hell of a player.

S14 n Tsx

thanks for the link.

S14 n Tsx

I know..Damn Jordan! I still love him though

sonnyg80

yea he's gonna be great...and damn, at age 20 - he is so f'ing huge!

S14 n Tsx

He is a big mofo...

Dwight is a beast and should have been in the finals with Green. Thomas was pathetic, even worse was Nate.

S14 n Tsx

yeah, I thought this year was the worst year ever. 4 players?? wtf...

synth19

^ I wanted to shoot myself after the 10 consequtive missed dunks. Gotta love MJ with the 90s-circa leather blazer... lol

S14 n Tsx

I just cant watch nate anymore. He did this last year and it was so sad to watching go through all that work to get it. Jordan, Vince, Dr. J and etc did it in on their first try. That how it should....Jordan is a GQ straight up.. He got the style and knows how to dress up well.

synth19

^ yeah, styling back in '97.

S14 n Tsx

wait...let me go see the video again! I didn't really pay attention to what he was wearing.

S14 n Tsx

man! I think it looks good.

Mokos23

Tyrus was weak, but I wish one of them tried some old school dunks like the rock the cradle or jump from the free throw line.

MJ really graded hard this year. I'm thinking Jordan is still pissed off probably with his divorce.

yuhoo22

howard got robbed....that is one of the best dunks i've seen in a LONG time.

S14 n Tsx

I won't say best?!

sonnyg80

just something new i just saw - dwight howard prior to the dunk contest

wow, he does a 'kiss the rim' dunk

S14 n Tsx

all I can say is... he is a one big mother fucker. look his shoulder and his arms.
