The Imperfect Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I had the pleasure of watching the dunk contest without sound, so I wasn't swayed by any commentating bias or fan cheering bias.The best dunk to me was the NR dunk over Howard, but the 12 foot dunk was fantastic, and should have been done at 14 feet, because that is insane. He had a couple feet to spare on that dunk.And I was wondering why he was in all green, and I just found out that he was supposed to be kryptonite.

DEAD! Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Does the NBA know that they don't have to rig the dunk contest in Dwight Howard's favor for him to win?First, he gets a 50 on the first dunk -- the worst dunk of the first round. Then they give him ten minutes to roll out a 12 foot hoop and change in a telephone booth for him on the second.Yeah, I'm done watching this .Dude...it's a dunk contest. Relax. And once again, Kryptonite defeats Superman. Nate being Kryptonite was quite hilarious. At least that green Knicks jersey was put to good use... and he even used a green basketball! If LeBron is in next year, I wonder what character he has in mind? I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowBoutThemFins Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 the dunk contest was terrible. nate didnt do anything he hadnt done before and neither did dwight. the event is so tired and unoriginal at this point that they have to use props in order to garner any interest. i wouldn't shed a tear if it were ever done away with. good to see cook win the 3 pt shoot out though.And the Jermaine O'Neal era is officially over.. Raps send O'Neal and Jamario Moon to Miami for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.Love love love this trade for Toronto. Not only do I love watching Marion play, but his contract is up after this year, freeing up $17 mil of cap space for this summer.according to the roster section of miami's website, moon will wear 33. let's hope this is an oversight because i'll be damn angry if they let some scrub wear mourning's number.

The Nation Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The contest was alright. But Kenny Smith is annoying as hell, and quite ignorant with the Ricky Martin comments. Martin is a legend in Spain, and dumba$$ Kenny Smith made fun of the jersey Rudy wore. But anyways...I'm getting tired of the slamdunk contest and the gimmick that its becoming. No more props or toys. Just dunk the damn ball. And Rudy got shafted...he performed the hardest dunk in the whole competition. Dwight's first dunk was not 50. Put it this way, if Jamario Moon did that same dunk would it have been 50? Probably not. Which brings me to my next point, the judges blow. Who you are gives you swing in the score you receive...its like oh Dwight Howard is a good player...so I'm automatically going to give him at least 9.

But that cost him, and justifiably so. I think, keeping that in mind, though, Nate Robinson was lucky to make it out of the first round.And if not knowing who's jersey Fernandez was wearing makes you an idiot, I'd think about 99% of people in the arena and watching at home were idiots. The guy played 24 games in the NBA 20+ years ago... nobody's ever heard of the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree, Rudy had the toughest dunk in the whole first round. That would of been something if he nailed it... Too bad Pau doesn't do those kind of passes, you know.And as much as Nate got sort of lucky, the whole KrytoNate bit was classic! Green jersey, green shoes... green ball! Hell, screw the whole KryptoNate name, I say we call Nate Robinson the 'Green Lantern' cause he lit up Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
