[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Come on judges, this is a weak finish by Iggy. Take care of the little man.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

AI just needs all 9s but he should go for a 50 dunk

he's out of ideas

[ace3g]

if he would have goten that off the backboard between the legs
that might be better than vince's in 2000

especially if he got it on his first attempt

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's a fucking tie

[ace3g]

dunk off

[Pistons < Spurs]

Overtime Baby!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Way to go Kenny! Dropping the 8 after Moses pulled the 10 to force the tie.

[ShoogarBear]

He should have saved the behind-the-backboard.

[zero signal]

This is sick!:cooldevil

[Spurologist]

he's out of ideas

they need infinite ideas b/c if they miss and repeat the dunk it doesn't have the same impact

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, that's some creative shit from Nate.

[Spurologist]

Nate has gotta be tired

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There you go Nate. Give him the 50.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Man, FUCK MOSES MALONE. Fucking 76er homer.

[Spurologist]

Damn I wished he pulled it off the first time

[Pistons < Spurs]

That was a great dunk.....what after watching him miss 13 times, it loses some of the luster!

[IceColdBrewski]

Man. That was just painfull to watch. I don't remember Spud Webb ever struggling like that.

[Spurologist]

Man, FUCK MOSES MALONE. Fucking 76er homer.

bitch gonna give him an 8. It's at least an 9. fuck that

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Moses gave him an 8 for the Spud Webb dunk too.

NATE WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cecil collins]

That was a great dunk.....what after watching him miss 13 times, it loses some of the luster!
Damn right, what's with the high scores after 10 minutes of trying?

[Pistons < Spurs]

There you go Nate. Give him the 50.


50? no way.....took him 14 tries. fuck that.

Even the birdman high on cocaine wouldn't take that many attempts.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

DAMN! AI was robbed

[ALVAREZ6]

I'm surprised that no one tries to straight up jump over somedoby.

Like Carter's Olympic dunk over the 7 footer, how come no one tries to hop over someone that doesn't duck down. They don't have to be 7 feet tall or anything, just jump over a dude who stands still. That is a nice dunk.
It looks like Nate heard me

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WHy is everyone booing? Moses Malone fucked over Nate on his dunk. Karma.

[Pistons < Spurs]

This was a much more ridiculious result than the 3 point contest.

[Brutalis]

Nate won?

[cecil collins]

DAMN! AI was robbed
I'd say. I know he's short, but don't hand him the trophy.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Man thats so typical
I knew i shoulda bet on the small guy


They should have given them a tie
Nate got 15 tries on that dunk off and AI had it in two

[spurschick]

No shit! I had AI to win!

So let me get this straight... Dirk won when he shouldn't have made it to the finals, and now Nate won because one of the judges changed his mind after he had shown his score. I know it's supposed to be for fun, but that's kinda bullshit.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Miller - how much do you see in spud
Spud - a lot

Spud couldn't do any of the shit Nate is pulling off

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This was a much more ridiculious result than the 3 point contest.

Yeah, it's ridiculous that a 5'6" guy who jumped completely over someone won it :rolleyes

[stretchman21]

he totally didnt deserve that. his size won the contest. A.I. was a hell of a lot better though. oh well. it was an awesome contest. im not gunna get my panties in a wad over a meaningless event like some guys...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

:lol

Miller - how much do you see in spud
Spud - a lot

Spud couldn't do any of the shit Nate is pulling off
exactly
nates more athletic

[Amuseddaysleeper]

yes yes these are "meaningless events" and as much as i was rooting for nate to win the dunk competition, what they did to iggy was just wrong

[Peter]

Is he still trying to dunk?

[stretchman21]

yes yes these are "meaningless events" and as much as i was rooting for nate to win the dunk competition, what they did to iggy was just wrong
oh no, that wasnt directed at you at all. i agree about the iggy thing too.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

i guess my vbookies are reaping the disaster of that bet

fuck

[Pistons < Spurs]

3point Champ=Dirk*
Dunk Champ=Nate*

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

They should have given them a tie
Nate got 15 tries on that dunk off and AI had it in two

AI also had another 14 inches of height to work with.


Nate won because one of the judges changed his mind after he had shown his score. I know it's supposed to be for fun, but that's kinda bullshit.

What's bullshit is Moses Malone giving him an 8 for the dunk over Spud Webb trying to protect his Philly boy.

If Moses would have given him the right score on that dunk (10), it would have never gone to a dunk off.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

No shit! I had AI to win!

So let me get this straight... Dirk won when he shouldn't have made it to the finals, and now Nate won because one of the judges changed his mind after he had shown his score. I know it's supposed to be for fun, but that's kinda bullshit.

EXACTLY

just because it's meaningless doesn't mean it doesn't have to be taken seriously or let stuff that shouldn't count, count. it defeats the purpose

[spurschick]

If it's meaningless, then they shouldn't make it a contest. Just showcase some great dunks and not score them.

[IceColdBrewski]

Lame. Iggy should've been the winner. If it takes you 10-20 tries to complete a dunk, you don't deserve to win. Period.

[cecil collins]

Yeah, it's ridiculous that I could have went and ran a mile while he was trying to attempt his first and third dunks in the finals

[Spurologist]

DAMN! AI was robbed

Wouldn't be another tie? I think there was only a 1 pt change. 10 changed to 9.

[cecil collins]

Lame. Iggy should've been the winner. If it takes you 10-20 tries to complete a dunk, you don't deserve to win. Period.
Agreed. Is there absolutely no penalty for that?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

3point Champ=Dirk*
Dunk Champ=Nate*

1999 NBA Champions= Spurs*


oh wait i am a spurs fan! :oops

[ALVAREZ6]

That is complete bullshit.

Andre Iguodala just got fucking robbed. Now yes, Nate Robinson is a freak of nature at his height, you can't imagine what he could do if he were 6'6", but that was bullshit. Iggy got discriminated on because he is a foot taller, but what the fuck, Nate had 14 attempts in his last dunk. Now no matter what you pull off, with that many attempts, I think your highest possible score should be a 45. If he had it on his first try, then you give him what he got.

Dunk contests are pretty damn tricky though, I mean Iggy could have saved his AI off the back of the backboard dunk for the end, but only 2 guys advance, so you have to do something to advance. But either way, that was complete bullcrap, Iggy tried something that has never even been tried before, it was just crazy.

Complete bullshit.

You simply can't win in a dunk contest after your 14th attempt, especially if you had to change it a little bit.

Once again, Iggy was robbed, and the judges are bitches.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Last year they counted a shitload against you if it took you more than 3 or so tries

[Pistons < Spurs]

AI also had another 14 inches of height to work with.



What's bullshit is Moses Malone giving him an 8 for the dunk over Spud Webb trying to protect his Philly boy.

If Moses would have given him the right score on that dunk (10), it would have never gone to a dunk off.


Your Nate Robinson love is making you extremely biased.

AI deserved that win. PERIOD.

[stretchman21]

Your Nate Robinson love is making you extremely biased.

AI deserved that win. PERIOD.
agreed.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

fuck this shit im gonna go play ncaa and get 200 yards rushing and passing with vince young

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Again, if Moses Malone wouldn't have fucked Nate over on his Spud Webb dunk, we would have never been subjected to the 13 try dunk attempt.

I thought AI deserved it when he did the behind the backboard dunk, but his last couple of dunks after that were average and recycled. Sorry. It looked like he was trying to win it living off the rep of the dunk he did in the first round.

[mavsfan1000]

I didn't here anyone freaking out about Iguodala getting cheated. Faggie Hoopsfan=idiot

[Horry For 3!]

Spud Webb 1986
Nate Robinson 2006

They are about the same height at like 5'7"

[Spurologist]

Your Nate Robinson love is making you extremely biased.

AI deserved that win. PERIOD.


It's all fucking subjective. Philly Moses gave an 8 and whoever his name is changed his vote from 10 to a 9.

[ALVAREZ6]

There's no doubt about it, that was Iggy's trophy.


Whatever, fuck it, they should bring both of these guys back for next year. They are incredible.





Ok, Iggy did get jobbed, but at the end of the night, this was the best dunk contest I have ever seen in my life. Period.

It doesn't get any better than what we saw tonight ladies n gentlemen.

yea, that was an awesome dunk contest.

[Marklar MM]

As usual, all my vbookie selections lost.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Iggy peaked with his behind the backboard dunk. Sue me.


I didn't here anyone freaking out about Iguodala getting cheated. Faggie Hoopsfan=idiot

Faggie hoopsfan? Cute. Spoken like a true vagina of a Mavs fan.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

right, cuz jumping over someone has never been done before

:tu :tu

[ALVAREZ6]

I don't think I can watch another dunk contest, that was just rediculous. You can't top tonight's dunks.

[ShoogarBear]

SI Swimsuit Models = Real Women

[ace3g]

like someone said earlier the difference between a judge giving AI a 9 and a 10 is one point which was the difference between Nate and AI's scores, so they would have gone to another dunk off.

[zero signal]

It doesn't get any better than what we saw tonight ladies n gentlemen.
Definitely. Great show! http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smiafro.gif

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The only other time it's been done in a dunk contest is last year and Josh Smith's "prop" was sitting down.

Great take by Alvarez though, this was the best dunk contest in a looooooong time.

[Spurologist]

There has been a surprise winner in every event. I am picking Nate Robinson now in the dunk contest.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

yeah tonight was definitely bad ass

i wish nate had hooked up on his first attempt at that crazy pass backboard thing

that would probably have made Best dunk of all time, hands DOWN

[ALVAREZ6]

I was really impressed by Nate Robinson though, on that one through the legs dunk he did, he did it on like his 7th try or something like that.

He has some monstrous ass calfs.
Imagine how tired he had to be and he still kept trying to finish the dunk, that takes incredible heart and determination, I would have given up after 3 tries.

[spurschick]

I didn't see who won the best dunk of all time - was it Jordan or VC?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I didn't see who won the best dunk of all time - was it Jordan or VC?

Jordan

[ace3g]

I have a question for everyone to answer ... if nate robinson would have gotten that dunk off the backboard between the legs,

would that be better than vince's in 2000


especially if he got it on his first attempt

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It was definitely creative as hell, but for the sheer moment, I still liked the Spud Webb dunk more.

[ALVAREZ6]

I didn't see who won the best dunk of all time - was it Jordan or VC?
Either way, those dunks are bullshit.


There have been better dunks than those too, many more.

VC's over the 7-footer, a handful of Jason Richardson's dunks, and now Nate and Iggy's crazy shit.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I have a question for everyone to answer ... if nate robinson would have gotten that dunk off the backboard between the legs,

would that be better than vince's in 2000


especially if he got it on his first attempt

would be number 1 dunk of all time

[ALVAREZ6]

Hell yeah, and not only his, but a bunch of other guys too.

[ALVAREZ6]

I bet you Nate Rob can do that Carter dunk on the best dunk of all time poll.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The whole best dunk of all time thing was a sham. VC's wasn't all that great at all. They just picked some other weak ones to compete.

[ALVAREZ6]

I was surprised by Hakim Warrick's first dunk, if he changed one thing about it, it would have been a lot nicer, but I can't really explain it. I didn't know he was that athletic, I thought he was a straight up I'm gonna dunk in your face type of guy. I never knew he could do that kind of shit.

[Despot]

Wouldn't be another tie? I think there was only a 1 pt change. 10 changed to 9.

I watched it on my Tivo, noone changed the score, the one judge that gave him a Iggy a 10 put the card down early, then put it right back up.

[ace3g]

Hell yeah, and not only his, but a bunch of other guys too. I agree alvarez but I was just comparing the 2 because they were basically the same dunk

[stretchman21]

I have a question for everyone to answer ... if nate robinson would have gotten that dunk off the backboard between the legs,

would that be better than vince's in 2000


especially if he got it on his first attempt
i think if Iggy got his backboard dunk on the first try, that would have been the greatest of all time.

[cecil collins]

Again, if Moses Malone wouldn't have fucked Nate over on his Spud Webb dunk, we would have never been subjected to the 13 try dunk attempt.

I thought AI deserved it when he did the behind the backboard dunk, but his last couple of dunks after that were average and recycled. Sorry. It looked like he was trying to win it living off the rep of the dunk he did in the first round.
He did it(took for-fucking-ever) before the Spud Webb dunk too.

[Despot]

And Moses Malone gave his buddy iggy a 10 on the dunk that others gave him 8's and 9's, and sent it to a "dunk-off". While the dunks were good, the contest doesn't compare with the old ones, the players are given free reign to mess up as much as they want. I believe the most chances you got in the glory days was 1 mulligan.

[Despot]

And Iggy was recycling the same dunk. Even with the nates misses, I think Iggy did not deserve it.

And I bet that next year they will have digital scores.

[ace3g]

I would complain if a 6 foot 6 guy took 15 chances to get a dunk off but nate is 5'9. I mean missing a dunk 2 times or so take alot of energy out of someone that size and to be able to still come back on the 14th try and still get the same height and complete the dunk is great. its not like those dunks were easy, then I would complain

Yeah that's rediculous, people who play basketball can compare to this, I know I can. When you try to do somethin crazy, you probably can only do it like 1 time per day because it takes all of your energy and power, and the jump needs to be perfect.


Nate is just in great shape if he can jump so many times and get the same height consistently after each time. He's a hardworker.
