    I was referring to his very first dunk. A fairly basic between the legs.

    The underneath the seat dunk is creative and extremely well executed, but the windmill was better IMO. That was just a beautiful dunk with all extra style points included.

    I think that, if you poll everyone who watched the contest just now, Gordon would win in a landslide.

    The public can be biased, definitely, but in my opinion, Gordon was robbed.

    Also understand that Gordon did NOT push off the mascot in EITHER of his dunks over it, unlike almost everybody does when dunking over people in the contest.

    How tall was the mascot? Looks 6'5 + to me. AND when it was on the hover board that means it was standing like around 7ft

    Nuts, Gordon was my winner.

    The fact that the mascot didn't even slightly bend over to help Gordon was amazing.

    Biased for Lavine and Gordon? Outside of their Mothers who is going to lean to either side?

    Furthermore, So what.

    Yeah, but 11 isn't that far off from a 10. Maybe the range should be from 6-15.

    6 is apparently the lowest score one can get from an individual judge, because Barton's incomplete dunk got a 6 across the board from the 5 judges.

    EXACTLY my thoughts. Gordon was NUTS. He got robbed.. and I don't even know why. Gordon should have freaking won, I'm actually upset he lost.

    Sick weekend so far, folks

    The Allstar game will be more interesting because Kobe is probably going for 60-80 again

    IMO, they should just let the judges deliberate at the end and name a winner, not based on score but based on the entire night. Gordon's dunks were more impressive and more memorable.

    Gordon had the better dunks, but holy **** these guys have some serious bounce.

    That was basically the NBA equivalent of Josh Hamilton jacking everything out of the park and then losing the Home Run Derby.

    stand corrected

    Kobe goes either for 60 pts or 30 assits and 20 rbs
