rumour has it moon is going to dunk from 3 feet behind the ft in the dunk contest. if its true, greatest dunk of all time. i cant wait.

Who?

9hsrS0_iUok

Only 2-3 of those seemed all that special.

wfL9Ew3b0uE

if he really does the dunk hinted at ~40 seconds in, its gonna win for sure. and compared to him, michael jordan will look like a child pornographer.

It's stupid how we can't get a Kobe Bryant-VC-LeBron-Josh Smith Dunk Contest or something. There's a rule or some shit.

I think D Howard got robbed last year.

I don't remember much of last year's contest, or the year before that.

I think Gay takes this one, even if he did blow 4 straight dunks vs. the Pistons.

MJ was a total prick last year, if I remember correctly.

Anybody think Rip actually has a shot to win?

Hopefully, he at least fares better than Chauncey has.

I think Kapono wins again, unless that MLE went to his head.

I'd fair better than Chauncey.

My heart says Rip, but my head says Dirk or Nash.

ANYBODY but Gibson though, PLEASE!

THOSE "OTHER EVENTS" WOULD BE THE SKILLS CHALLENGE!!

...Who's even in that?

Re: Dunk contest & 3 point contest


Gil (Charlotte, N.C.): If a player jumped from behind the NBA 3-point line and dunked, would it be worth three points or two?

What an idiot.

It'd be worth 2 points, duh!

Watching TNT and the food they're making looks fucking delicious.

Crawfish. Yum.

Who blows the most dunks tonight? I'm going with Moon.

THOSE "OTHER EVENTS" WOULD BE THE SKILLS CHALLENGE!!

...Who's even in that?

And that thing with Laimbeer, Cash & Rip

All Star Saturday night > the actual All Star game

Depends on how good the Dunk Contest is.

The actual game itself is nothing but a glorified version of "And 1".

So when the fuck does this shit start? I'm tired of waiting.

8

My last name's Beauregard, I should've been invited to New Orleans!

This song is pretty good.

CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM!

STAND UP!

Told ya Billups was in the Shooting Stars Contest, Glenn. Would make no sense to put Rip in that AND the three point contest tonight.

So we need to beat Chicago's 39 seconds in the Shooting Stars.

SA in 2nd place.

COME ON DETROIT!!!

Damn. Eliminated. Fucking Swin.

I used to like Swin. NOT ANYMORE!

Hopefullly Rip can redeem the boys in blue and come home with a title.

Fucking bitch! Trade her ass!

Hopefully SA beats Chicago.

lol, SA won with friggin' David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

So disappointed with "us"!

OK, up next the Skills Challenge. I got Wade in this one.

gotta be cp3

Ahh, Ason showed up and not Jason.

bob ryan is furious at seeing jason kidd's son's mustache.

LOL @ Wade turning it over.

lol at wade's turnover. i think actually caugt him wincing during this. get a wheelchair?

WOW @ that embarassment, lol. I'm 0-2 tonight.

its ova! cp3, i dont think he can touch it.

Looks like Williams got it locked.

I think Deron Williams will win.

Ok, I think Dirk will win the 3 point contest. But my heart is with Rip.

I think I'll be happy if Rip can get to the Finals like Pudge did in the HR Derby in 05 vs. Abreu.

reggie's such a dork. i dont think kenny and S.C.B. like him.

Spud sighting...Spud used to be a player (other than BBall) when he was with the Kings.

I like Reggie.

TNT's crew are all solid.

no mask for rip? uh oh. thats no good. ill take nash, if nash is doing it. nash can shoot.

Kenny Smith has to say EVERY fuggin thing twice. Every fuggin thing twice. It drives me nuts, yo. It drives me nuts.

but I like Charles.

Kenny during the Dunk Contest is fucking terrible.

Isn't Peja in this?

Kapono might win this. I'll stick with Dirk though.

Fuck rip missed money 3 times.

money blls are killing rip, he could advance.

Not a bad round.

SHIT, they gave him 13.

Finally...1-5 on the money ball

14.

14 for rip. he got jobbed.

Fuck Gibson, I hope he airballs all of them.

Fuck a booby.

lol @ Nash. Sweet.

uhhh, nash disapoints big time.

Yay now we need 2 more people to suck so Rip can go on!

Alyssa Milano sightings are always good.

werd

lol, Cuban is such a tool.

Peja stinking it up in front of his home crowd.

Fuck, Rip's out. Stupid toe on line.

Money ball in and out for Peja.

Kapono is beastly.

Jason Kapwno.

lol, nice.

LOL @ Harlan asking Barkley and Kenny if they knew what Gibson did last night, when they called the game.

Someone eliminate Gibson.

Good God, fucking beast.

He can shoot the fuckin' rock.

Here we goooooooo.

All NO music is good.

I really hope someone does something spectacular this year.

LOL @ Malone judging.

LOL @ the birthday cake.

He dunked once

Ok, so I got Rudy in this one.

And like I said: Kenny during the dunk contest is fucking wack.

LOL @ Charles...never seen plain Cranberry juice without Vodka.

I turned away and missed it. Damnit.

Not bad at all.

Wasn't feeling that.

Fucking Rudy Gay. Me and you watched him one night and Kelser was laughing cuz he missed like 5 fucking dunks in a row.

That sucked.

whats dwight up to?

Wow, that would've been nasty if he hit it.

Damn, Dwight. Would have been excellent if he hit it the first time.

DAMN!

50!!! 50!!!

I told you guys

do you think he'll ever do that in a real game?

His head was STILL behind the backboard when he slammed that one home.

LOL @ the birthday cake. WTF?

i like this one all ready.

What in the fuck....

This should be fun.

this is mind blowing.

Hope he doesn't blow it

Wow, he actually did it.

wooooo!!! thats a 10, charles!

That was pretty creative.

sooooo much better in slow motion.

hahahahhahaha, 10's for creativity

Kenny Smith with the repeat ovah and ovah and ovah again.

Only a 46 for that one.

Creativitah for sure.

green got jobbed, that goes down as one of the best dunks ever. im thinking it replaces the air jordan silhouette for nike.

Ouch. Well, Dwight's was better.

Yeah, Dwight's was better. But Green's was crazy.

Werd. He at least should have more points than Moon.

Let em fight it out in the next round.

more prop than dunk. made good TV.

Damn, already saw it with Dwight but that was pretty ill.

green's was better than dwight's. the dunk we'll remember from this contest is "the birthday cake". its gonna change the game.


not bad by gay, not earthshattering though.

The crowd isn't even into it.

Eh it was OK. Green's was still better.

Oh shit...

yes. ive been waiting for this.

call guiness if he does it.

This would be nuts.

Meh. Good enough for the lead though.

Didn't actually take off from the tape.

disapointing.

its a good point about the tape.

more cake?!?!?!

Nice dunk.

lacked cake. should have gone cake second, that one first. he did get pretty high, though.

Solid, glad he's advancing.

Crowd just isn't into it at all.

Is that a fuckin cape?

LOL @ the cape.

uh oh!

hahahahaha

give the man the damn crown already. dwight is legendary.

oh my god

Shit

LOL he fuckin threw it in

Man, crowd barely even care.

i feel a little safer now that dwight just did that.

Could that even be considered a dunk? He threw it in, lol.

haha this dunk contest is actually pretty entertaining.

I take a drink every time Kenny repeats himself. Every time Kenny repeats himself.

Finals should be nice.

it should be green and dwight. is that who it is?

Yeah.

i love howard's idea and creativity. but that wasn't even CLOSE to being a dunk! what happened to the rules? that was not a dunk and he should have had to make another attempt.

i cna't believe everyone went nuts over something that wasn't a slam dunk. this is the dunk contest, not the 'throw it in' contest.

again i loved the idea and the lead up to it. but he was 2 feet from the rim when he threw it down. no way that should count. rip gets some of his 3's erased because he was on the line, so that attempted dunk shouldn't have counted either. you've got to contact the rim for it to be a dunk FCOL!

Then justice is served.

Yeah.

Kenny's touting Dwight's Superman dunk as one of the three best ever.

then kenny smith says something ridiculous like: that was one of the top 3 dunks of alltime. it wasn't even in the top 20 because it wasn't a dunk!!!!!!

God damn.

i agree.

mccants was a bad partner choice.

nice, nice dunk.

allysa was tough on it.

Ah, we see that too much.

Alyssa's just sore. From last night.

we've ever seen. we've ever seen. we've ever seen.

i agree: it was top 3. dwight was flying too high to dunk it. i think the point was to throw it in anway.

It was good, but not even close to being that high on my list.

the hell?

Holy fuckin' shit! Dwight's the fuckin man.

Dwight just wrapped it up anyway.

Holy SHIT.

put dwight howard at the top of my list of favorite players. its not that i didnt know how good he is, but damn! i wish all superstars were like him.

What the fuck was that?

That was dumb, Gerald. You just lost.

i think green is rattled.

Big fucking deal, he did it in his socks.

Why is he wearing green socks when he's a T-Wolve? Does he wish he was still a Celtic?

oh boy.

If he pulls this off...

A dunk is when someone's hand is above the rim and they throw it down.

Y'all think the hand has to touch the rim? WTF?

wtf?

super dwight saved the dunk contest.

i hope dwight comes back every year for this.

Game over.

Done.

lets go home.

Holy shit.

Ok, Dwight's performance was great and one of the most creative, if not the most creative, ever. BUT every year Magic and Kenny talk about the dunk contest being "back".

saved worst for last, but dwight was awesome tonight. nice that an nba superstar came to the contest, obviously put some thought into it, and made it awesome to watch. bust sdc since vince carter, easilly.

superman and birthday cake are historical. too bad moon didnt deliver.

I wonder who Malone (aka me) picks.

i agree with the doctor. who dunks barefoot?

Yeah, if Moon did that shit... too bad he didn't.

Jesus Christ, STFU Doc.

gerald's mistake was doing the exact same dunk twice.

dwight made it easy, though.

"I don't think you can compare the two, but they're both the same."

Genius.

I thought it was hilarious when Cheryl made snoring sounds while Erving was talking. Jesus fucking Christ.

Crowd was lame as hell. I wish they were into it more, but that's going to happen I guess when you only have 1 "big" name and three relatively unknown players.

Yep.

You need to chill on the crowd, they had a hurricane and shit.

Oiwwnb3_U0o&NR=1

glad he didnt do that one, what if he f'd up?

You need to chill on the crowd, they had a hurricane and shit.

lol. Not at the "they had a hurricane and shit" part.

yeah i do think your hand has to contact the rim. what exactly are you 'slamming' when you do a slam dunk? THE RIM!

when your hand is 2 feet from the rim when you 'throw it down' it's not a dunk. not even close.

i think people (see: TNT commentators especially!) are just caught up in the moment and don't want to objectively analyse the attempted dunk.

he ended up short of the rim so in my books that wasn't even a dunk. the 2nd one he did was all style and little substance. so he took the ball off the little basket and did a fairly normal dunk. big deal.

IMO he had a good night but by far his best dunks was his first one off the back of the backboard and then the one i liked most was the tip off the backboard and dunk. that was wicked.

Its also called Throwing it down. gotcha on the actual name of the contest but slaming or throwing it down the same thing.

No, you are slamming the ball through the net, r-tard.

Fuck the rules, that was too amazing to not be a dunk. Superman would never touch the rim. Great re-enactment imo.

BTW if howard's superman 'dunk' was really a dunk and you don't need to contact the rim, then perhaps someone should jump straight up from the 3 point line and throw it into the basket from out there. then can we say they dunked it from the 3 point line?

when's the dance off?

P9LmHXXWiJs

Good luck doing that.

Dwight will be back to defend, the champs usually always do come back. If they can just get another big star, I'd PAY to go to Phoenix to watch it.

No, you are slamming the ball through the net, r-tard.

Wow that sounds exciting...slam something through a fucking soft net.

BTW if howard's superman 'dunk' was really a dunk and you don't need to contact the rim, then perhaps someone should jump straight up from the 3 point line and throw it into the basket from out there. then can we say they dunked it from the 3 point line?
Wow you must really hate Dwight. lol...Maybe he should throw fire bolts from his arse and slaughter the english before you feel him? [smilie=heatsmiley2:

i thought the throw in made it better. dont see why your getting so down over it. if you think lobbing a 3 pointer or whatever would win it, that'd be fine. its all about just doing something cool.

superman was legendary.

All and all a good night. I'm not complaining.

[smilie=heatsmiley2:

You REALLY love that emoticon, lol.

no you dunk it through the net. you slam the rim while you're dunking it. slam indicates you are coming in contact with something, no? it is NOT a slam dunk if you don't contact the rim, i'm sorry. that's a fact.

but whatever- i don't want to spoil anyone's fun or enjoyment of it. it was really cool. but it was not a slam dunk. he should have taken off a little closer then it would have been amazing because he might have actually dunked it.

BTW- i'm not hating on howard. i love the kid and his creativity and lead up to that attempt was really exciting. it was an amazing idea and he almost pulled it off. and i already said i loved his first 2 dunks. but his last 2 were not what people are making them out to be.

guess i'm just not swayed by emotions or hype as others are. i'm more analytical.

all in all it was a fun night though. i wish there were 3 dunks in the first round though or one extra round because i wanted to see more of moon.

green's birthday cake dunk was a 50 IMO and one of the coolest of the night.

Arguing about a dunk is pretty pointless, so let's just let it be. It was damn good either way.

he could have dunked it if he wanted. he intentionally through it in. it would have been easier to dunk than to do what he did. it was obviously planned.

know you dunk it through the net. you slam the rim while you're dunking it. slam indicates you are coming in contact with something, no? it is NOT a slam dunk if you don't contact the rim, i'm sorry. that's a fact.
You care too much about the specifics, thats a fact. You're not spoiling anything, its just a ridiculous thing to bitch about. I tell you he did it from above the rim like superman would, then you come up with 3 point line horse shit...lol ...you're bent on bitching at that point. good luck with it.

I want to argue with e-ray...e-ray, you don't know wtf you are talking about.

it is NOT a slam dunk if you don't contact the rim, i'm sorry. that's a fact.


No, it's an opinion that is dictated by interpretation of meaning.

ps tahoe go fuck yourself

You REALLY love that emoticon, lol.
its the only one there worth a damn. they need better quick emoticon options.

No matter how he did it, it's a lot better for me to watch that than shoot up and shit/throw up all over myself.

Watching him throw it in instead of slamming it certainly is a lot better for me than shooting up and shitting/throwing up all over myself.

exactly. its about the kids.

Absolutely sick competition. Howard just solidified himself among the best dunkers of all time. Kid is insanely sick.

Seconded, i wish he didnt get hosed last year.

exactly. its about the kids.

That's the whole point of the dunk contest: to tell kids not to do drugs.

I'm cool with it.

No, it's an opinion that is dictated by interpretation of meaning.

ps tahoe go fuck yourself

WTF is that supposed to mean. Are you some fucking PHD or something? Jesus Christ speak English mother fucker. English...do you speak it? fuck you too

Anybody else still watching TNT? lol

Is this disagreement between e-ray and Tahoe serious? I can't tell because both guys are so intimidating.

you should just shoot up and not worry about it.

It can't be serious cuz me as a man can't be bitch slapping a lil boy.

I'd like my user title to say "Convicted Felon and Junkie".

It's about as serious as the damage your ass takes on a daily basis, Karl.
Tahoe please indulge in a Mailman-style shoot up asap

^ and mouf

That abscess is from a B-12 shot.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE ABOUT ME AND MY PERSONAL DEMONS?!

Proof that is was dunked like that on purpose.

Have you ever made one of your posts in cleveland? dont lie.

I'm carring a candle to your torch. Oh, that sounds kind of weird. didn't mean it like that

You're the only one who thought it sounded weird.

Dwight's dunk would've been the best ever if he was somehow able to bring the rim down/break it after he threw it in.

and oh shit...

OK, I have to go to a meeting so I haven't been able to read the whole thread, hope this isn't already answered.

Is there a place to watch a replay of all this stuff? Maybe highlights? SOMETHING?! I had to go check out a few bands my company is trying to book and had to miss it.

Youtube?

Yahoo had some highlights up earlier. I'm sure NBA.com has tons.
