The thought of what Lebron would do is more valuable than what he actually would do. He will never do it, too smart.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

How many teams have a dunk contest, 3-pt. contest, skills challenge, and a 2-Ball challenge winner?

I know Utah does.

Take that cities with rings.

 

[Brinbe]

Yeah, the amateur contest was easily better... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQFiuBGdttc

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

i will hug you when we meet up in april

then proceed to kick you in your nuts for being an asshole

hmm only 20 minutes away not bad

Meetup? Don't think I'll be in attendance.


James might sext me.

 

[Vic]

Need to purify myself after watching this joke event.

 

[Hieberrr]

Performances from Nicki Minaj and Pitbull? These guys are taking this crappy music/Orlando thing pretty seriously I see...

 

[Blackface]

They should scrap all-star saturday night. It's complete garbage.

Move the rookie/sophmore game to saturday night.

 

[Panda In Space]

I would replace the Slam Dunk Contest with NBA Superstars (Lebron vs Kobe, etc) playing 1 on 1 in NBA 2K13 video game.

 

[Nori Chan]

Pau Gasol ‏ @paugasol
Evans is the winner! Not the best contest I've ever seen though! Evans ha ganado! No ha sido el mejor concurso de mates que he visto!

get em pau

To cleanse the palate of miserable dunks tonight.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

We talking knockout with 2 balls and the FT line til you make it version?

because that would be amazing. And it HAS to be Wade, bron, melo, kobe, etc.

Yeah, that would be great.

Have East and West all-stars play to narrow the field down to like 4 each conference, and then throw those guys into one final game.

Jack in the Box presents All-Star Knockout or something. Definitely more entertaining than the dunk contest.

it still draws ratings most likely. Lets be real we're all gonna watch again next year even if they troll out another 4 guys nobody's ever heard of. Every once in a while we'll get a great contest followed by 3 or 4 forgettable ones. The days where the dunk contest was prestigious are over and never coming back.

 

[Vyer]

2 stars

1 rookie

1 amateur that wins a yearlong nationwide contest

Bring back judges (ex champions)

No props

 

[K.Jack]

Kenny Dobbs would have won the dunk contest tonight, with ease too:

wtf dunk @ 1:48 is unreal

someone gif that for me

Casual viewers are not going to want to see two guys playing videogames.........

never gonna happen, Stern won't allow some dude to embarrass them like that.

Bring back WINCE!

As I was saying earlier, coming up with new dunks that look difficult is really damn hard. Paul George's dunk was Vince's in the dark and it just got a meh. Diminishing returns at this point.

 

[Black Mamba]

Yeah, that would be great.

It would be hilarious to see Kobe knock Bron's ball into the stands while Bron looks around like that shit ain't legal.

And you know it would happen. Fuck, I am so hyped to see an all-star knockout, now.


Whatever happened to horse? Was it just scrapped?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the one tweak I would like to see (and can actually see happening) is having one competitor that is an NBDL or amateur guy to keep the pros on their toes.

 

[dvdjamm]

Cheryl Miller's cackling helped not at all...

Kenny Dobbs would have boat raced to a easy victory

 

[SamuraiX-]

The TNT Crew and GAF commentary was so worth sitting through that.

I'm still wiping away the tears.

 

[thekad]

Wow, that was excellent. The dunk contest is back, baby! It's back!

 

[Rodeo Clown]

Moon Bloodgood is on whatever is on TNT right now. I'm assuming this show was cancelled already.

 

[Rezbit]

Why do these dudes like LeBron and Dwight go to these events and just watch? I mean if you're going you may as well get involved somehow.

 

[darkside31337]

You mean like Kenny Dobbs? He would have destroyed all these clowns.

Dwight was involved before. He had some pretty sweet dunks that got overlooked and forgotten about for the Superman shit (which was still better than any dunk tonight anyway). Why would he do it again?

 

[alr1ght]

Pros v Amateurs next year. It's all nobodies anyways so they won't have to worry about losing.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You mean like Kenny Dobbs? He would have destroyed all these clowns.

yeah. Or maybe if you are going to go the American Idol angle, just go all out and have 4 amateurs/street ballers dunking for an NBDL roster spot. This year's contest was as rehearsed as a reality show anyway.

 

[abuC]

The amateurs would win, no way Stern would allow it.

 

[Judderman]

 

[RedAssedApe]

At this point they should make it one dunk only. Save the embarrassment of a Jeremy Evans winning again. Had the WORST dunk of the night and one of the WORST dunks in dunk contest history.

EYE JAM LOL

 

[SunhiLegend]

wtf dunk @ 1:48 is unreal

someone gif that for me

 

[Jay Shadow]

Me after every dunk: "I wonder what score that's gonna get...oh..."

 

[diehard]

At this point they should make it one dunk only. Save the embarrassment of a Jeremy Evans winning again. Had the WORST dunk of the night and one of the WORST dunks in dunk contest history.

EYE JAM LOL

if it was one dunk he still would have won, and if you think that was the worst you clearly have a terrible memory.

 

[Byakuya769]

Evans's first was better than two minutes of D-Will failing.

 

[Red Blaster]

EYE JAM LOL

He also did the double dunk which was better than anything else of the night

 

[Blackface]

WTF Kenny Dobbs completely stole that dunk.

[Grimm Fandango]

Bring back WINCE!

Yeah right, you'll see him doing this every time he misses:

[exarkun]

Smallest market won. At least our votes weren't just homers that dare to claim that Buddinger was robbed...

Im obviously being sarcastic. There is no way any of them deserved to win. Chase thought dressing like zoro would win his white ass the contest. He was wrong!

 

[diehard]

Evans still has the dunk of the year.

in pre-season.

 

[Black Mamba]

lol

 

[PhoenixDawn]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFq_5291U4A

That dunk is 3 of the 'dunks' in this exhibition match tonight put together into one, haha.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

It's really not fair to compare an amateur that spends 5 hours a day practicing dunks over and over to pros in a season where if they're not playing they're traveling. This was bound to be the worst year since players have very little downtime to practice these things.

 

[The M.O.B]

Jarret Jack.......................Commentating from the sidelines par usual.

For somebody who is easy to clown, he sure is throwing some stones.

 

[Shurs]

lol

Hilarious.

 

[alejob]

I fucking hate Utah and everyone in it.

What are you? 10?


Can I watch a reply online somewhere?

 

[Piecake]

As for making the players try harder in the allstar game, I think shaming them into trying harder would do the trick. I dont want to see home court advantage or anything stupid like that, but having the winning team win 1 million dollars for some inner school city would work I think. that city could rotate every year, one city for the western conference and one city for the eastern conference. different city for both east and west next year

Well, they'll try in the fourth quarter at least

 

[Tom Penny]

This years dunk contest has set the bar too high for the next generation.
