    Vince had the best dunks and most memorable dunks of the contest but I felt like Steve got shafted on the judges scores in the final stage. Vince dunks in the final was a 2 hander from inside the FT line and the arm in the rim dunk.
    His 3 best dunks actually took place in the initial stage and it seemed both the crowd and judges had already determined who the winner was going into the finals between Francis, Tmac & Vince.

    I thought Francis had a better combo of dunks in the final stage.

    I thought Terrence Stansbury should have finished higher in 1985 but Wilkens and Jordan got the publicity.

    Feel like Nate Robinson should've never won in Houston with his 27 attempts... Iggy got mugged by a muggsy bogues impersonator

    Green's no shoe dunk was probably just as underrated. I don't even think I can tough the backboard jumping with no shoes on and it's gonna hurt a ton when I land.

    - Nate robinson in my opinion should have never won any.
    - steve did do well but that was vince's nght (woulda been sick if he got his take off right and took off from closer to the freethrow line
    - blake griffin's over the car was a joke
    - derozen was right with props should be taken out

    AND my biggest critique: BRING THE JUDGES SCORING BACK. last year was such a bore without the judges. it makes it so much funner to watch when people yell 50! or you debate on ifthe score was right or not. they should do judging all throughout then throw in the public vote if they want to pick winner.
