    Where is a link to the final results? Minnesota fans claim Derrick Williams came in second.

    Maybe he shouldn't powdered himself to provide further distinction.

    Not after all those misses.

    His dunk off the side of the backboard was great. It isn't the first time it has been pulled off, but it was still impressive.

    Tough call because Iman Shumpert would have been favorite with the Jeremy Couch prop

    I am glad he didn't win..This is the worst dunk contest ever and pretty much no one deserves to be the champ..He would be teased for a decade if he won..

    Maybe the web site looks at your IP address and changes the caption?

    I thought it was strange that the NBA didn't post the totals. If you don't show the score, it's possible to make up any story that you want.

    You could tell from the crowd, the commentators that it would be close one, going down between Evans and Budinger.

    Paul George and Williams tried too much.

    Paul George shouldve won.

    Chase shouldve been second.

    I shouldve voted.

    Does not matter. It's prestige anyways... If he can only try to do more of those powerplays during actual games... that would be huge....Now he is only a marginal rotation player.

    Good job by Paul George to turn out the lights so no one could actually see his dunk. It looked just as good as Vince Carter's.

    i still don't understand what is impressive about some other dude tossing the ball off the side of the backboard for you.
