    First dunk contest I’ll watch since Gordon vs Lavine.

    That was probably the best contest ever except maybe the Jordan Vs Nique contest way back when.

    this is collectively the worst list of dunk contest participants in history. Would be damn sad if Green didn't win

    damn shame KJ Martin didn't get invited

    Threads like this are great for weeding out the BS.

    I always get to add a few more people to my ignore list.

    Don't sleep on Vince Carter, that's got to be on the list for one of the all time best performances.

    Super happy Jalen made it, one of my wishlists for this season. Not at all surprised at all the "fans" actually complaining/b****ing (I really hope CF isn't an accurate portrayal of the team fandom at large, if so we may have the worst fanbase in the league.) Little disappointed KJ didn't get the nod, that's actually criminal with his hops. Hopefully KJ gets a shot in a different year, I think he could pull out some really jaw dropping stuff.

    This might be the only thing a Rocket does at the all-star game from 2021-2024, I'm down.

    That's not good at all. Almost as bad as how many CF members are Cavs fans tbh.

    Jalen should be the favorite

    Tuscano and Toppin are stiffs

    Cole Anthony? Stop it

    Whoever planned this contest really missed a trick choosing some of those guys over KJ. None of them really make my jaw drop the way it does when KJ jumps off the floor and looks like a slamball player haha.

    True. Green has yet to talk to anyone of any skill level past or present. Also I heard that if you talk to really good players over a week you level up just like in a video game.

    If Jalen doesn’t win rookie of the year, the slam dunk contest is a nice consolation award.

    How could I forget Air Canada? Would have been cool for KJ to get a shot. Maybe he can be Jalens prop master and they do a dunk that highlights KJs vert too? Jalen gets up there!



    CFans has assumed the typical personal relations and opinions of social media sadly. It was a good run. Reddit has a knowledgeable Rocket fan base if you need a change of pace.
