    Definitely. That's why Jordan's passing out 8's lol. Seen it all before & done it all before. There's only so much a man can do between the time he leaves his feat and lands back down.

    *edit*
    I'm talking about how dunks can't be too new. Not questioning them still having a competition and it only being worth 2 points. High School contests and college dunks contests are entertaining and its the same dunks. NBA contest is slightly more lackluster for whatever reason

    Miami can still win the title, they're a scary team come playoff time.

    I think some so-called 'experts' who're already writing them off will be in for a rude awakening in June. You can't count this team out, especially not when they have hands down the best swingman in the league in Dwayne Wade.

    I like Detroit a lot, but I think it will be tough for them to get past Miami. Chicago would have to make a major trade for a dominant inside presence if they want to have any chance; they need a Gasol type player and they need to keep Gordon and Big Ben.

    Dwight Howard got screwed big. His and Nate's score should be flip-flopped.

    I gotta give it up to Dwight man. That was creative, but I love the sticker with his face laughing. That's awesome. Green is gonna win, he just has that flair. This contest is definitely better than last years.

    the sticker dunk was greatness. the only problem was you couldn't tell he did it until they looked up at it and so it took some of the excitement out of it initially. but in retrospect, being that high, and putting a sticker on the backboard at the peak of your jump and still paying attention with your other hand and dunking was pretty nice. gerald green is the star though so far. so much of the contest is selling the dunks and being innovative, not just acrobatics.

    DHoward made a huge mistake... he should've showed the camera that he actually has a sticker in his hand... the judges didnt know the idea of his dunk until later

    The worst dunk contest ever!

    They need to just cancel it for a few years, and then may be bring it back when we have some deserving dunkers that people actually want to see.

    Dwight's wasn't that great, it would have been a plain 40 without the sticker.

    If Howard shows the judges/crowd the sticker before the dunk, he gets a 50 on that one. That was really nasty.

    This was a solid dunk contest. 2 of Green's were sweet (side of backboard and Dee--and his last one was ok), Nate had a sweet one (and even has last one was pretty badass..except that it took him 10 tries)

    Much better than the Andersen year.. or last year even.. or the BS wheel crap.
