    That's pretty impressive, jumping over Hibbert.

    Sterns attempt to right a wrong?

    ...pretty weak.

    But happy for Bud! Maybe "Hey Bud, let's party!" will make its first national appearance.

    Another event that's declined tremendously over the years. Players thinking they're too good for the event, while they disappoint their fans in the process.

    Damn, George's through the legs 360 and the dunk over Hibbert have me hyped. This contest will be better than most people expect (if these guys show creativity). Think they'll be fired up to show off as they are usually not in the spotlight.

    Lol @ those that think Budinger has a chance. I'm not saying that Bud is going to embarrass himself, but he isn't going to win either. He doesn't dunk gracefully enough to get style points. Paul George has a unique combination of power and finesses with his dunks, which makes him the easy favorite in my view. I'm gonna go to the casino and bet my money on George. He should win this easily.

    Edit: I just heard about the rules and format. Shumpert will win.

    Someone on the Internet suggested this for Shumpert:

    Landry Fields comes out and pushes his sofa to the basket. Jeremy Lin comes out wearing a pajama and lies down on the couch. The rest will be the same as Griffin's dunk from last year.

    :grin:

    I'd love to see a dunk contest with no props. Just sick dunks like a couple that George displayed in that last video. The one handed reverse 360 was crazy. I'm sick of seeing props.

    If they are using props, I'm hoping to see someone with a trampoline from half court. Injuries be damned!

    Although I really was excited for Shumpert, Evans is a great choice.
    Is Shumpert injured?
