    We have the G-E-I-C-O horse challenge, the shooting stars, the skills challenge, 3 point shootout, and of course the dunk contest... Looking forward to the Dunk contest being exciting...

    Not too excited for the dunk contest, other than to see Nate.

    I'm interested in the Three-Point shoot out. THat's always fun to see which players shoot at a high efficiency without a defender.

    I think Channing Frye make stun everyone.

    I wonder how much more tricks he has left in the bag?
    My pick is G-Wallace to win the dunk contest. Frye for the 3 point shoot out.

    Why do people like seeing him in the dunk contest? I don't think I'll ever get why people go crazy while it takes him eight tries to finish a REGULAR dunk. It's nothing like Spud Webb.

    You're right. He is nothing like Spud Webb.

    For me, it's his personality, and obviously, the fact that he's a "little guy" flying high. I did not mean for that to rhyme...it's the teacher coming out of me.


    Nate is just fun to watch. That's all.


    Remember when the "Birdman" couldn't even make a dunk. I hate that dude.

    The only Birdman I know runs Cash Money Records. Chris Anderson GTFO.

    nates dunks aren't sick or exciting.It's awesome that he's tiny and can raise up and be able to do these dunks but that gets old...it got old about 2 years ago :rolleyes:

    YOu've gotta enjoy the show for what it's worth. It's not like Vince Carter is going to enter the competition anymore.

    Nate's dunks might not be "sick" as you write, but they are entertaining. It's not always about the dunk but the delivery.

    I think that Birdman is a better shooter as well.

    Man, who thought the Sprite Slamdunk Showdown featuring streetballers was more exciting? They need to have the winner of that (Air Up There) school the NBA players.

    They should have an open tryout for a 5th dunker. There are plenty of guys out there not in the NBA who are incredible dunkers.
