That was easily the best dunk contest since Vince Carter went nuts in 2000.


If either of them were star players that would be an all time classic on the level of Jordan/Nique

 

[Officerrob]

Proof that all 50's are not equal

 

[El Topo]

Gordon should've won. Great contest though.

 

[Gully State]

This just means there'll be a good rematch hopefully next year.

 

[jmizzal]

lol thats when Iggy got robbed

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

That was fucking awesome. Gordon needed 12's his two dunks in the final round. Levine deserved 50's but Gordon had better dunks. Idk how that second one OT got a 47, did they see the replay?! Great contest.

 

[alr1ght]

Gordon robbed. Amazing showing from him and Lavine.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

highway fuggin robbery.

 

[friskykillface]

sit down dunk!!! grrr he should've won

 

[Faddy]

Gordon's last dunk was better. From behind his head all the way to his legs and back up was so impressive. Just unreal quickness.

For me Gordon had the best 3 dunks of the night. Robbed.

 

[Discotheque]

Gordon was robbed for sure. Damn good competition between em tho. I hope he comes back with a vengeance next year

 

[Dr.Acula]

I can't remember the last time someone jumped from the FT line without stepping over.

 

[Stat Flow]

Best Dunk Contest in a long time.

 

[Exokell]

Gordon... Just dethroned Vince in my book.

 

[reKon]

I missed the contest, but what the fuck at these dunks

 

[tmdorsey]

Checking in to say Gordon was robbed. Those Gordon dunks were ridiculous.

 

[The_Dama]

These kids need to stay off-camera and off-court

 

[Faddy]

The last Gordon dunks needs to be in slo-mo to appreciate how he moved the ball. ridiculous

 

[BadAss2961]

Crazy dunk contest. This one in particular was the best shit since the Vince Carter 360 windmill.

Zach got lucky it became a battle of 50s. Cause Gordon's first couple were better.

 

[rinse82]

Gordon... Just dethroned Vince in my book.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Should have been a tie. Both guys deserved to win. Gordon's seated dunk might be the most impressive of all time. The broadcast was terrible, there was no reason to have Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan there. DeMarre Carroll looked like he was in a Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five cover band.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Gordon... Just dethroned Vince in my book.

He didn't even dethrone LeVine apparently...

 

[BTM]

Both deserved to win. Damn

 

[theignoramus]

Three point contest was lit.
Dunk contest was a prize fight.
Welcome back All Star Saturday

 

[Afrikan]

Poor Will The Trill thought he had a chance tonight.

 

[Lunar FC]

Poor Will The Trill thought he had a chance tonight.

lmao

 

[Messi]

Why was Drummond in there?

 

[Matrix]

Why was Drummond in there?

comedy relief

 

[StudioTan]

Vince is still the best for his combination of grace and power that hasn't been topped but he was in a class by himself that year, this was the best competition ever. Both guys had amazing dunks, awesome stuff.

 

[K.Jack]

The fuck did I just watch?!

These niggas had Dunking Materia installed, ban both of'em.

 

[Tekniqs]

Eh I always thought JRich dethroned Vince with his dunks....

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Gordon... Just dethroned Vince in my book.

Its close but his first dunk is perfect from start to finish. Even the dribble was amazing.

Fuck I love that dunk.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Gordon didn't get robbed btw. He had the most creative dunks of the contest, but both guys were dropping 50s. It came down to whoever had the least best dunk, and Lavine's final through the legs was better. It was uncharted territory anyway.

I agree they should've been made co-champs.

 

[sf2fanatic]

They should of did a FT5 with Gordon and LaVine. Fuck the others

 

[Exokell]

Best Dunk Contest in a long time.

Lol you guys remember when Dwight was winning this shit? Dark times. Fucking props and garbage.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Why was Drummond in there?

Only offensive move he has. A dunk. Glad it wasn't a Free Throw contest.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Didn't see the contest but those are some creative dunks from Gordon.

 

[Afrikan]

Eh I always thought JRich dethroned Vince with his dunks....

same here but I guess some just forget him.

I mean the show tonight didn't even mention him or show his dunks. :/

 

[Tekniqs]

Lol you guys remember when Dwight was winning this shit? Dark times. Fucking props and garbage.

Except Dwight's behind the backboard, off the glass windmill and off the bounce, tap off the backboard switch hands dunks were impressive

 

[Tekniqs]

same here but I guess some just forget him.

Blasphemous lol. He's a two time winner and had, BY FAR, the best dunk in his third contest. Sucks that he missed his off the bounce 360 between the legs attempt that year

 

[Lion Heart]

Glad to see the Dunk contest back to being about amazing dunks, not props.

 

[jordan0386]

Except for that SpinTheWheel year, dunk contest have generally been pretty good.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Yeah I agree JRich was a better dunker than Vince.

His dunks were insane.

This is an All-Star event in Toronto so yeah Vince would get favored in the promos.

 

[neptunes]

Yup Toronto did it best

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Gordon... Just dethroned Vince in my book.

I'd give him 2nd along side LaVine

 

[Cybit]

LaVine just said when interviewed by TNT that it was a tie and that they should share the trophy.

That might have been the best dunk contest I've seen in my life (seen them from 1990 on). Holy crap. Two people going at it with everything.

Someone get LeBron to finally do this. I want LaVine, Gordon, LeBron, and Ben Simmons (who is also apparently LeBron level freak athlete). Lets do this.

If LeBron wouldn't enter when it was fucking Nate Robinson winning, there's no chance he would now.

 

[Fjordson]

Gordon was crazy man. Repped the Bay Area well!

 

[Trey]

Someone can't be robbed when the other guy eastbays from the free throw line. Gordon showed out for sure had some mind blowing dunks. Both deserve the recognition they're getting.

The last one, the double tap, is an all time dunk contest dunk. Dude is tripping.
