i was hoping that globetrotter guy was actually going to jump from beyond the free throw line

 

[Pacfanweb]

People still watch the NBA?

Those can be fun to watch if someone pulls out something no one else can do.

 

[YoungGun21]

The days of the dunk contests are over. Nobody does anything good anymore.

That Gerald Green cupcake dunk was pretty sick.

 

[trmiv]

That was the best dunk contest in awhile.

You obviously didn't watch it this year then.

Dwight Howard is a pretty incredible dunker, even for how tall he is. The bounce from behind the backboard dunk was awesome. I also like Green's cupcake dunk!

Ya that "birthday cake" dunk was awesome. Talk about original! Howard's dunk with that mini basketball hoop, I thought he was going to dunk 2 balls at once.

yeah, i thought was gonna at least try. he went way over his sticker. like kenny or charles or reggie said... he was better off not putting that sticker down at all.

my favorite was when he threw it off the backboard in mid-air and dunked it. DAMN.

QFT, awesome

can't wait till next year.....after this one, they will definitely let D up the rim a couple feet.

Sportscenter didn't have many highlights, so I can't really judge it over all. Probably was better than Nate Robinson getting 100 attempts though

I did the cupcake dunk, that was pretty cool.

He's your son?

The Superman "dunk" was funny, but he didn't even dunk it. He just threw it in. The other two were really good though... particularly the one where he tapped it off the backboard.

 

[Descartes]

Damn.

 

[ballmode]

SUPERMAN!

 

[vi edit]

The kid is a true freak of nature. The athleticism he has for his height and size is just incredible.

On the first camera angle of his "off the glass tap back" I didn't think that it was that big of a deal. It wasn't until I saw it from the other angle that he had bounced it off the backboard to himself.

Incredible concentration.

This year had a pretty good dunk contest.

dwights dunks were petty damn good.

Is there a place one could go to watch this dunk contest?
Edit : found it on youtube

BTW I still think Dominique Wilkins should of won over Jordan that one year.
