    Since you asked nicely. This is regarding somebody posting a gif of John Wall messing up at the end.

    So yes, this is overreacting. A lot. Most of the replies were asking "Why so serious?" And you basically replied with "I serious cause I don't think it's funny and you guys are all jerks for thinking it's funny".

    And this is regarding the Paul George dunk.

    So yes, I'd say it's fair that you overreacted quite a lot.

    Unbiasly I thought Chase should've won. Jeremy Evans 2 balls at once dunk was pretty good but the blindfolded 360 was niiiice.

    well, he could see through the blindfold, and it wasn't a 360.

    flaming, you still don't have one point that says why I was overreacting. I stated points that are addressing the sad reality regarding some of the posts and the questionable mentality some people here have. And I asked legit questions about it and barely anyone replied without saying "Washington ain't ****", "lmao are you a Wiz fan", "they do stupid things", "he didn't live up to his hype"....Maybe two guys gave an answer that made sense. Is "are you a wiz fan" or "Washington ain't ****" a logical answer to "Why are making fun about a random missed dunk?", no it's not. And you obviously don't get my points. When I'm questioning the dunking knowledge that's no insult or overreacting, it's the plain truth. Same with me not getting why people laugh about a missed dunk, it just isn't funny.

    It was a 180, and I bet Chase could see the floor which is enough to easily do a dunk like that.

    PS flaming, none of my posts about Wall took a shot at anyone, maybe the 1st one was semi-offensive. But you saying I called people "jerks" is a lie when you see how I said things like "He already lost and wanted to entertain the crowd but missed it. What is so funny about it?" That's an honest question and 100% without any emotions or mean spirit. And if you see the replies I got there is no way I can understand how you take shots at me now.

    Let me put it in perspective one last time because I really couldn't be bothered with this anymore.

    If you don't think it's overreacting, then I don't know what is.

    People were making fun of it because it was funny. It was a "fail". Did you miss the millions of post poking fun of Budinger's dunk?

    I for sure hope you don't insult people the way you do when they laugh at things you don't find funny.

    I'm done, this is a waste of time.

    @ Yung-T, it's the All Star event, it has no meaning... This isn't regular season games where it actually matters....

    So by that logic, a dunk over 5ft something Diddy has to be considered better than a dunk over 7'2ft Hibbert, because George used his arm a bit?
    And a dunk where a guy taps a sticker on the backboard, goes under the rim and finishes with a 180 windmill is worse than a basic windmill, just because it took him more tries? He also did a 360 windmill when Bud only did a reverse while faking to be blindfolded.
    How does that add up to Bud being better?
