is this going to be the lamest slam dunk contest in all star history?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

seriously is anyone really remotely interested in the contest this year?


lebron is a giant steaming vag for backing out

[Nash2TimeMVp]

slam dunk contest has been lame since 2003

[Goran Dragic]

Maybe you and your krew should cry to Kori and ask her to make it better.

[Fpoonsie]

Yes.

[Quit Hatin']

i think the lamest one was the year when brent barry won it.

Er, wait...

[j.dizzle]

I just wanna see what kind of circus Jerry throws in his stadium..The last few all-star weekends have been garbage so maybe this one will be a lil more entertaining..Too bad half the great players are not even playing in the all-star game hahaha

I saidddd

[Muser]

Vince raised the bar too high, it's a disgrace people still get 50's after what he did.

[Thunder Dan]

it has been lame ever since they brought it back after they got rid of it. The use of props killed it

[Technique]

Honestly looking forward to the 3 point shooting and skills challenge more than the dunk contest.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Seriously. Shannon fucking Brown? Gerald Wallace?
Unless you ride the jocks of these players this will easily be the most unmemorable slam dunk contest of the 2000's.
shannon brown
:pctoss

might as well throw andrei kirelinko and chauncy billups out there while you're at it

i don't ever remember having less desire to watch this thing

[Cant_Be_Faded]

oh yeah
lebron = steaming vag

[Trainwreck2100]

I thought kryptonnate was pretty cool.

[ace3g]

if James White was in it, he would win every year, I mean who else can do a in between the legs dunk from the FT line

[Allanon]

Should have had some bigger names. Derrick Rose totally should have been in this.

It might make some minor NBA history though.

LA D-Fenders Dar Tucker won the D-League slam dunk contest.

If Shannon Brown wins it as well; that's two Laker owned teams winning the dunk contest in the same All Star weekend.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

shannon brown winning this will be the death knell for the dunk contest. the final death blow.

crofl at the nba pimping shannon brown's weak ass high school dunks
wow we've never seen those dunks before :wakeup

:48 is such a fail :lol

[Behrooz24]

No. The field is pretty good.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Sprite Amateur Contest was very sexy..Air Up There did some crazy shit, check it out on NBA.com..

[xtremesteven33]

The dunk contest will be lame of course but Kenny Smith will still find a way to sound like an ass...

[ClippersDynasty]

This faggy OP has never seen SB dunk I guess. Maybe he'll come up with gay shit but the dudes one of the best athletes in the league, he deserves a shot.

[Cane]

I've got no idea what to expect; just hopefully its entertaining.

[lil_penny]

As long as dwight isn't in it with his stupid props it will be fine.

[gaKNOW!blee]

honestly, id rather see every dunk attempt missed as long as its original...than see something thats been done before.

try some new shit!

[Donkeybong]

i actually think this is going to be one of the better ones in a while. Pretty good names in Nate, Gerald, Shannon. Wish that 4rth was Lebron or something though. I have a feeling this will be less prop based and more power dunk based, which is what I want to see.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Called it.

LeBron = pile of douche

[IronMexican]

good call. That almost put me to sleep.

[monosylab1k]

Called it.

LeBron = pile of douche

:tu this was beyond lame.

LeBron could have done the Shawn Bradley dunk from Space Jam and won.

[tlongII]

The entire show tonight stunk.

[Come_On_Now]

I imagine Cubes put as little effort as possible into All-Star Saturday night. 100,000 fans in the biggest Stadium in the history of the planet >>>>>> dunk contest. Plus he had to rob the entire Wizard's franchise tonight as well. Very, very busy man.

[ShoogarBear]

Nate Robinson = worst slam dunk champion in history.

x 3.

[Allanon]

The announcers are paid to be enthusiastic. But even they couldn't get up any fake enthusiasm.

That's how bad it wuz.

Dunk Contest Sets New Record for Boredom (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=tsn-dunkcontestsetsnewre&prov=tsn&type=lgns)
SportingNews

Do you like excitement? Do you like flair? Do you like charisma? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then you hated this year’s dunk contest.

Nate Robinson was the winner, although it’s arguable if that term is at all applicable to what transpired tonight. There wasn’t a single memorable dunk—finalist DeMar DeRozan got the only 50 for a windmill on a Sonny Weems pass off the side of the backboard. In a good year, that’s a 45 or 46.

The crowd was dead the entire contest, getting on its feet maybe once or twice. If you’re charitable, this was the dunk contest of a Vermont bed and breakfast: pleasant in its quaintness. If you’re mean, it was like a historical reenactment of a dunk contest from 1989.

Nate is now the first player to capture three dunk contest crowns, an accomplishment that should fit in well next to his retired summer league jersey. His best dunk was a toss off the backboard that turned into a two-hander … or at least I think that’s what happened (again, not very memorable).

The "Let Shannon Dunk" movement that helped get Shannon Brown into this year’s contest should also feel some shame, if only because Brown didn’t contribute anything to justify the groundswell of public support. Gerald Wallace was also quite poor, although his performance can’t be considered a letdown since he’s shown so little interest in the contest since being named as a participant.

This dunk contest was so bad that it makes you wonder where they go from here. We all want to see LeBron, but is there anything anyone could do at this point that would excite us? After all these years, it’s possible we’ve exhausted the number of dunks that are physically possible to do. There’s still hope, but the dunk contest now looks much less relevant than it ever has.

[timvp]

CBF with a home run of a thread. Almost a spur worthy prediction.

Prhahhps.

[baseline bum]

The fucking WNBA event with the halfcourt shot was 10x more entertaining than this garbage.

[duhoh]

this was the worst i've ever watched. :td

no doubt

iguodala got robbed two years ago, last year howard got robbed

this year it just flat out sucked

[Spur|n|Austin]

I tell you something guys, the efforts emitted by all those involved in the all-star game coupled with the lack of funds nba front offices face, pretty much guarantees the lock out is coming sooner than everybody expects. And this lock out will have some historic events attached to it....mark those words....
