    This was brutal, sadly, emblematic of what we've come to expect....a fitting capper to a night at the circus.

    It is fair. Evans double dunk was the best of the night I think.

    Nice memory for the kid. Maybe get him some notoriety needed to find his next job.

    Anyone else think the Bud could see through the blindfold and missed the first one on purpose?

    After all, he did say he was recreating Ceballos's dunk

    I blame myself. After Bud's last dunk I sneered that he really didn't deserve it, stopped voting, and didn't start again until I realized two minutes later that NO ONE deserved it.

    That was one of the worst contests I have ever seen. They just need to get rid of it all together. Dunks are no longer a highlight, everything has been done. It's just boring now.

    There's no question he could see through it.

    Budinger has nooooooo PERSONALITY, goodness. A definite backseat "along for the ride" type of guy.

    If he said more than 5 words and did better on his 2nd dunk, he'da won.

    But Evans had the BEST dunk of the night so he's deserving.

    Wouldn't it be ironic that if he had won the Dunk contest, and then he got traded thereafter?

    Morey's probably pissed because the win would boost his trade value.

    the slam dunk contest used to be really good.. if no star wants to participate, then dont have one. i want to see griffin/wade/lebron/rose or the likes, how would the homerun derby be if a bunch of no name guys who hit for average were the contestants..

    enjoy the greatness of the 2000 contest..

    chase should have won just because he had the whole white man can't jump skit going with diddy. Lol at people thinking Maury was serious with his tweet. Those that hear him in interviews are aware of his sense of humor, sometimes dry but still. Also, knowing Stern...well..he is not laughing. =)
