    Yes it is degrading, but you know whats more degrading to see females in his vidoes dancing and they know what hes saying about females. If a female doesn't have respect for herself then no one else will respect her.

    Do you know how much those dancers make? Do you know how much they have to train and practice to get into those videos?

    These are professional dancers, not strippers. You've hated on Dwight already, but why them? Why?

    Females that be dancing in them videos do not get payed. They do it just to be in a video with a rapper. And they are not professional dancers all they are doing is shaking they ass. And do you even watch rap videos these days those femlaes be half naked thats closer to a stripper than a professional dancer.

    Just becasue I have a different opinion than you on something that means I'm hating.

    Very good dunk contest IMO. Dwight won because he really sold his dunks. Being entertaining is a part of winning. The Superman dunk was a great idea....

    I swear that dude is on HGH. It isn't fair to be that big and athletic. Now if only he could stop Yao from busting his ass everytime they play. ;)

    I was surprised to find out from a friend who was a dancer for the Hornets that they only made $50 a game. Apparently, they make most of their money from selling the calendars and doing appearances. I know she's not in rap videos, but she's a professional dancer on a pretty big stage nonetheless.

    I don't think people remember where the ball in the superman dunk came from

    It came from Jameer Nelson throwing it from behind the backboard. Regardless if it was truly a dunk or not, it was something completely new and he did it with a style that gave him the edge.

    Green's dunks were underrated as well. I don't think anyone in the crowd realized how hard it is to dunk without shoes. Going between the legs makes it even more difficult. But he could've done a different dunk to get more points from the judges. And Daryl Dawkins knocking his shoes to the ground is classless. No other way to describe it. It is an entertainment show, and that's all Green was doing. He showed no disrespect to any of the judges.

    It was closer than people voted, but if you aren't satisfied with Dwight winning, then I don't think you understand what the dunk contest is about. It is not only about the technical side of it.

    Yea I thought the same thing about video chicks that they get payed. But my cousin friends told me that they don't get payed. She did a video and didn't get anything for it.

    I liked the Happy Birthday dunk the best, but Howard was the best overall.

    Good contest, but the superman dunk shouldn't have counted since he didn't even dunk..he just threw it into the hoop.

    actually this year it's different, it's the fans who voted howard to win it, some people are counting it while some are not, but the end result is that howard got the title

    You can argue about the Howard thing all you want (I don't think it should have counted though it was extremely bad-ass)... but when you resort to saying you and your high school buds know more about basketball it makes you look, well, high schoolish.

    That Superman dunk shouldn't have counted, but who cares. That was one of the most entertaining spectacle I have seen from the dunk contest in years.

    Maybe Dwight Howard thought he was that dude from the Fantastic Four who can stretch his arms.
