    JR Smith did that dunk before in the dunk contest. And I think Stackhouse too. Nonetheless, it's still a nice dunk.

    if guys like lebron, rose, griffin, westbrook, dwight etc arent gonna be competing in the dunk contest then they need to outsource it and bring in guys like Mr. 720 , james white, and any other crazy dunkers out there...

    That was easily the worst dunk contest of all-time. Zero excitement.

    Bud did pretty good. Not GREAT but pretty good. It's definitely time to get big stars to get in the contest now. Lebron needs to stop being a punk and do it next year.

    you do understand that he could see threw the blindfold and the intentional miss was staged, yes?

    Either:

    1) You are joking
    2) You lost a ton of money

    Watch them and say that again. Saying George was weak is the wrong thing here, his dunks were huge. And the John Wall thing was me sayin that it's silly to post a gif of Wall missing a dunk and making fun of it when he already lost and wanted to entertain the crowd. And then dozens of guys sh!tting on me for saying it was not justified, thereby proving my point. If you read the replies I got I don't know how you can criticize me.

    I'm pretty sure the first one was Chase winging it to see if he could get a lucky shot in.

    The second one he flipped the blindfold up a bit so he can see. So obvious that he could see on the second attempt lmao.

    That was so damn underwhelming...and those who say it was a popularity contest..didn't Jeremy Evans win, the guy anyone barely knows?

    This whole weekend is boring...the all star game will be exciting in the starting lineups, big stars ,and then they are going to play a laid back practice game that gets dull to. Its just a wast,e they need to change the incentive as this is becoming unwatchable.

    no, the whole thing was staged. do you think him and kenny made it up on the spot for kenny to come help and and get the crowd to count down and say "jump"? and he decided to do a reverse instead of regular dunk on second try?

    I do assume that to be the case, but I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Keep in mind that when the dunk contest was supposedly good, Ceballos won doing a regular dunk wearing a blindfold that many said he could see through, and Dee Brown won by covering his eyes at the end.

    Yeah but if you look at JR's version he is turning to the side to help himself out to get the ball around. Wall's dunk he goes straight up and nothing is moving but the ball and his hand. Maybe not original but Wall's version is superior by far!

    You were going crazy over the John Wall gif, it's no big deal it was just kind of funny. It's a "fail" that people could get a chuckle out of. It's not like people were criticizing him. In fact people criticized almost every person in the skills challenge for not giving a crap.

    And you don't get my point, I don't care whether it was a good or bad dunk. You have some elitist attitude going on and you're seriously overreacting every little thing that you don't disagree with. People don't like the dunk, what's the big deal? You don't have to blow up about how people don't know **** about dunking.

    Calm down.
