    The behind the back dunk is infinitely harder than the between the legs dunk. Even Drummond almost nailed that one.

    Gordon should've won. Those mascot dunks were awesome. He said, nah don't just hold the ball, spin with it.

    if they had higher than 10's or decimals, gordon would have won, but by any standard of dunk contest history it was hard to not give lavine a 50 on any of his last 4 dunks.

    Its a very good dunk, and very well executed, but there is a bit of sleight of hand. He's pushing off the ball a bit to create more elevation.

    all in all the best saturday night I have ever watched. All competitions turned out to be great.
    If only they played some semblance of defence tomorrow.

    They should change the rules. After 2 perfect 50s by each, they get 1 more dunk. If they are still tied, the panelist have to vote for the player they thought did better.

    Gordon lost because of the scoring is jacked up.

    So you're telling me the worst thing from All-star Saturday night was the Musical guest? We did it! It's all down from here.

    It is pretty easy - just add audience vote to the 50 pts by the jury

    I really think these Gordon and Lavine could definitely do it.. and do it well...
    Still think Gordon's creativity for the first two dunk in the final round was something NONE of us have ever seen...

    Talking about the seat dunk? It wasn't between the legs, the ball was passed underneath both legs. And, it was something never seen before (I think), so that makes it even more special.

    The fact that 50 is the max score one can receive actually hurt Gordon.

    Just poll the audience. Who cares about the judges. It's for the fans the fans should decide.

    I'm so glad Silver went back to the purity of the contest. It wasn't broken before yet NBA tried to make it better, different, exciting. Who knew better dunkers made for a better contest?

    Fans are biased that's why. Never trust fans or the media. Always go with the hall of famers.
