[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Okay, Michael's the greatest ever, but his judging sucks ass.

[Horry For 3!]

These judges blow :lol

[T Park]

are they hatin on D Ho.

[jackiel1219]

the old guys have gone senile

[Horry For 3!]

How the fuck did Nate get 9s and Howard got 8s?

[Pistons < Spurs]

BS......that was not a 9

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That Nate dunk was weak. If any of those fuckers give better scores than they gave Howard, they suck ass.

[Tek_XX]

this ain't a "how high can you touch" contest.

[Spurologist]

So according to the scoring, Howard's first dunk was better than his second?

Fuck that

[Dex]

Dwight Howard getting jobbed.

[T Park]

:lol
I can see it now, "Dunk judge controversy"

[dallaskd]

nate is a beast.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That is a fucking lame dunk to get a 9 from 'Nique. That's bullshit.

[Budkin]

Howard got robbed big time.

[Horry For 3!]

If Dwight Howard doesn't make the finals, that will be fucked up.

[ShoogarBear]

OMG that sticker is CLASSIC!

[dallaskd]

How the fuck did Nate get 9s and Howard got 8s?

cuz nate is short.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lol Gerald Green is going to dunk on Nate Robinson.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

dwight had the best dunk of the night so far

[dallaskd]

new shoes anyone?

[dallaskd]

the hell is pierce doing?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm still pissed about Howard's dunk though.

[lefty]

oooooooooooooh
Green is wicked

[hitmanyr2k]

People are forgetting Howard is 7+ feet tall. He should be touching the top of the backboard with that height and wingspan. That isn't impressive.

[Horry For 3!]

Gerald Green :tu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Game. Set. Match. Fucking call it now.

[Horry For 3!]

It should be Gerald Green & Dwight Howard. Fuck Nate Robinson.

[jackiel1219]

Howard got robbed

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

:lmao Okay, fuck MJ. He gave Gerald a 9 for that after he gave Nate a 9 for the David Lee dunk. Gimme a break.

[dallaskd]

i wish he did all that and then missed it.

[Spurologist]

:lol

What kind of dunk does Jordan want for a 10??

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dwight Howard eliminated :pctoss Screw the old timers.

[itzsoweezee]

that was hot. gerald green is winning it so far for me

[Pistons < Spurs]

BIg deal, Green jumped over a midget....that shit's not better than Howards sticker dunk.

[Horry For 3!]

Fuck MJ. Fuck Dr J. Fuck Nique.

[ShoogarBear]

People are forgetting Howard is 7+ feet tall. He should be touching the top of the backboard with that height and wingspan. That isn't impressive.Yeah, right. Give us the list of 7-footers who can do that.

[dallaskd]

dont you love midgets?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

the only dunk that deserved a 10 so far tonight was Dwight's


the rest were 9's

[aaronstampler]

Maybe next time we play them Howard will do the sticker dunk on us during an alley oop from half court. That boy's a freak.

[ShoogarBear]

The dunks in the contest are great, but the judging is screwed up.

[hitmanyr2k]

WTF was so impressive about Howard's dunk? lol. A 7 foot guy put a sticker on a backboard and did a regular one hand dunk. He's supposed to get a 50 for that? Get the fuck outta here :lol :lol

[freedom&justice]

Alright, I know I said I wouldn't watch the dunk contest but...Gerald Green is awesome. That bit with Paul Pierce was pretty funny too, they pretty much teased Nate into standing there for Gerald's dunk.

And MJ's being cheeeaap. Gerald's first dunk should've been a 50.

[Horry For 3!]

Yeah, right. Give us the list of 7-footers who can do that.
True, most 7 footers can't even jump 3 inches off the ground.

[aaronstampler]

I bet MJ would be giving these guys 10s if they wore his shoes.

[schadenfreude52]

damn. should really be howard and green in the finals...

anybody see what that sticker said?

[Dex]

BIg deal, Green jumped over a midget....that shit's not better than Howards sticker dunk.

Agreed. How Green jumping over someone a foot shorter than him is supposed to be more impressive than Nate clearing HIS OWN height is beyond me.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is such a crock that Nate's in the final. All he has to do is make his dunk and the senior citizen judges fall over themselves to give him a 10.

That sticker dunk was the dunk of the contest.

[ace3g]

sad thing is they let the celtics use props but they wouldnt let Howard bring out the 12 foot rim for one of his dunks, which is why he had to settle for the sticker that reached 12 foot 6 inches

[ATX Spur]

Was that a Christian message on Howard's sticker?

[aaronstampler]

:lol

What kind of dunk does Jordan want for a 10??

a 1080 taking off from the 3 point line.

[Dex]

Does anyone else feel brainwashed by Playstation?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF was so impressive about Howard's dunk? lol. A 7 foot guy put a sticker on a backboard and did a regular one hand dunk. He's supposed to get a 50 for that? Get the fuck outta here :lol :lol

Name the seven footers in the league who can put a sticker 12 feet up on the scoreboard.

Thanks.

[ShoogarBear]

Does anyone else feel brainwashed by Playstation?:rollin

[freedom&justice]

WTF was so impressive about Howard's dunk? lol. A 7 foot guy put a sticker on a backboard and did a regular one hand dunk. He's supposed to get a 50 for that? Get the fuck outta here :lol :lol

It's his flexibility and the hops. Oh man the hops. Heck, Nazr can barely even get off the floor.

[Budkin]

I hope Robinson gets his ass crushed here.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

damn. should really be howard and green in the finals...

anybody see what that sticker said?

It has his face on it with the Las Vegas sign background on it.

It looked like all four of the guys in the Dunk Contest had signed it too.

[ATX Spur]

damn. should really be howard and green in the finals...

anybody see what that sticker said?

It looked like it was Philippians 4:13 with "CHRIST" in caps.

[itzsoweezee]

i still haven't seen anything really creative yet. last year, that one dunk by iggy and robinson's last dunk (even though it took 13 tries) were better than anything i've seen so far yet

[aaronstampler]

Kadour Ziani would win a dunk constest over any of these cats...

[ShoogarBear]

Oh, crap. Here we go again.

[Horry For 3!]

He grabbed the rim and dunked it. Wow.

[dallaskd]

nate sucks.

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, I wish we could have seen what Howard would have come up with for the second round.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Can't believe the league wouldn't let Howard raise the goal to 12 feet. Lame.

[Spurologist]

480 coming up

[T Park]

Wasn't Duncan supposed to help him?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

agreed. Nate sucks. Just because he's short he gets extra leeway.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Stuck with a 5'6" version of Nate Robinson. *yawn*

[lefty]

:depressed :depressed :depressed LAAAAAAAAAAAME

[dallaskd]

greens duck= lame

[aaronstampler]

that was the worst dunk of the night...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fairly lame from Gerald. He should have brought a 360 or a between the legs or something like that with a lot of power.

[ShoogarBear]

Can't believe the league wouldn't let Howard raise the goal to 12 feet. Lame.Yeah, but it was sweet how he made his point.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Of course, this whole thing is a sham because of them screwing HOward on the sticker dunk.

[hitmanyr2k]

Name the seven footers in the league who can put a sticker 12 feet up on the scoreboard.

Thanks.

Without the sticker that dunk is pure shit lol. So he should get a 10 for a damn sticker? The gimmick was funny but I'm looking at the overall dunk here. This isn't a high jumping contest.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, but it was sweet how he made his point.

Agreed. And then he still got fucked by the judges :lol

[dallaskd]

nates gonna take 20 minutes agian....

[hitmanyr2k]

And this is why Jordan gave Nate an 8 in the beginning. Spud Webb could do a damn 360 off the dribble. Nate can only catch and dunk. It's old.

[Spurologist]

conceit

[Budkin]

Haha... fuck Nate Robinson.

[Horry For 3!]

The judges ruined the slam dunk competition. We get stuck with gay ass Nate Robinson.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Without the sticker that dunk is pure shit lol. So he should get a 10 for a damn sticker? The gimmick was funny but I'm looking at the overall dunk here. This isn't a high jumping contest.

Did you hear about WHY he did the sticker dunk?

He wanted to raise the rim to 12 feet and dunk on a 12' goal, but the league said no.

This was basically a middle finger to the league dunk.

[Tek_XX]

Is this last years contest?

[jackiel1219]

WTF is the coyote doing there?

[ShoogarBear]

Where Chris Anderson when you need him?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This is great watching Nate suck ass thanks to shitty judging in round 1. Thanks, MJ. Thanks 'Nique. Thanks Dr. J.

[aaronstampler]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

[Budkin]

Let Howard back in there.

[Dex]

The Coyote with some face time!

[T Park]

WTF is the coyote doing there

snorting coke off hooker's asses.

[Tek_XX]

What is the two minutes for???

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

This dunk contest needed James White

[aaronstampler]

we need professional judges. Not a bunch of "in my day..." has beens.

[Horry For 3!]

Dr J gave him an 9?????? That should of been a 7.

[lefty]

finally

[ShoogarBear]

That was like the final scene in Tin Cup.

[freedom&justice]

Was that a Christian message on Howard's sticker?

It was an all-star sticker with his smiling face on it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dr. J. with a 9, but only gave the sticker dunk an eight. Gimme a break.

[Spurologist]

Nate needs to work on landing the dunk on the first try

[ShoogarBear]

snorting coke off hooker's asses.:lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It was an all-star sticker with his smiling face on it.

It had his face on it and was signed by all the players in the dunk contest.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

at least Nate saved face and stuck the final dunk

[T Park]

That was like the final scene in Tin Cup.



"I can hit this shot"

"Well fuckin do it, youve got one ball left, if you put this in the water your disqualified" :lmao

[Spurologist]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo

[lefty]

50????????????? :wtf :wtf

[Horry For 3!]

Texas representttttt

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nice dunk over the table to end it. Still not as good as the sticker dunk, but pretty good.

[freedom&justice]

Judges finally gives Gerald all tens. Congrats Gerald!

[itzsoweezee]

not worth a 10

[lefty]

50 nononononono

[T Park]

Will Boston have like "Dunk contest champion Gerald Greene Bobble head doll night" now?

[Pistons < Spurs]

That was ok...but nothing special.

[itzsoweezee]

this dunk contest sucked

[jackiel1219]

the sticker dunk was awesome, it was Howard sticking it to the man

[Budkin]

snorting coke off hooker's asses.

Man I love how cracked out the Coyote always looks. :lmao

[dallaskd]

green wins. boring contest.

[lefty]

Stars of ze night : Kapo, Bark+Bav; that was it

[Horry For 3!]

The contest was pretty good until the judges ruined it.

[ShoogarBear]

this dunk contest suckedThe contest was okay, the judging sucked.

[T Park]

Man I love how cracked out the Coyote always looks

You think he looks cracked out now.

Wait till tuesday and he comes off the damn bender in Vegas.

[Shaolin-Style]

howard dunking over tim would have made that contest worth it.

dunking over a small table to cap it off made it boring.

[Spurologist]

Will Boston have like "Dunk contest champion Gerald Greene Bobble head doll night" now?

Anything to boost morale.

[T Park]

Thats what I meant Spurologist :lol

[lefty]

How to make the dunk contest interesting again? Oh I Know : invite Vince and Fred Weiss ; put Weiss in front of the net ; u know the drill

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The contest was okay, the judging sucked.

Yep. Sticker dunk was an easy 50, but if they would have given him that, he would have gone to the finals instead of Nate. *The horror*

[Horry For 3!]

Damn old timers ruined it for everyone :pctoss

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

How to make the dunk contest interesting again? Oh I Know : invite Vince and Fred Weiss ; put Weiss in front of the net ; u know the drill

Put 5 million dollars on the line instead of $35K.

[sabar]

Howard got ripped off :(

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

mannnn...I wish Dwight was the winner. The Dunk Contests have been the WORST of the Saturday events.

[Solid D]

howard dunking over tim would have made that contest worth it.

True, but that trick was already done in a real NBA game.
:smokin

[baseline bum]

Nate Robinson's Tony Allen dunk was ok. Howard's was easily the highlight of the night.

[lefty]

Put 5 million dollars on the line instead of $35K.

Maybe that will really motivate Tyrus THomas

[aaronstampler]

oh well, time to spank it. Night everybody.

[Tek_XX]

Aren't lame dunk contests the reason that got rid of the dunk contest several years ago?

[Slinkyman]

first Iguodala last year and now Howard gets fucked this year

[Solid D]

The "Sticker Dunk" was the best, most entertaining dunk in years. Rip-off Deluxe!

[itzsoweezee]

How to make the dunk contest interesting again? Oh I Know : invite Vince and Fred Weiss ; put Weiss in front of the net ; u know the drill

nothing will ever beat that dunk

[Horry For 3!]

SI Swimsuit :tu

[lefty]

Yep ; original and funny ; LOL at Howard smiling on that stick ; Howard is really a goofy guy ; I like that

[lefty]

nothing will ever beat that dunk

Yes ; Green over a tiny table
:lol :lol :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Yep ; original and funny ; LOL at Howard smiling on that stick ; Howard is really a goofy guy ; I like thatReally, the face on the sticker was what made it perfect. Hilarious.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Really, the face on the sticker was what made it perfect. Hilarious.

Yeah that's what made it. (well, that and the fact it was 12.5 ft. up on the backboard and he made the dunk).

[ATX Spur]

It was an all-star sticker with his smiling face on it.
Plus a Christian message.


It had his face on it and was signed by all the players in the dunk contest.

Nope. I went back with TIVO.

[ShoogarBear]

They should leave the sticker up there for the game tomorrow.

[Horry For 3!]

You all should read the skills vbookie thread for some good laughs.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Plus a Christian message.



Nope. I went back with TIVO.

:wtf

I know I saw his name and Tyrus Thomas on there.... and there were two other lines. Looked like all the dunk contest participants on it.

[E20]

Can anybody fill me in on who won what, we had this f'ing guest dinner party and I'm locked up in my room and have no TV.

Thanks.

[lefty]

Thanks.
Shooting Stars Competition: Detroit won by default because Chicago's Ben Gordon shot before the WNBA player shot.

Skills Competition: D-Wade beat Kobe

Barkey vs. Bavetta Race: Barkley killed Bavetta in that race, literally.

3 pt Competition: Kapono scored 24 pts in the Finals, Dirk had 9 pts :lol, Arenas ended with 17 pts (he shot his last rack with 1 hand)

Slam Dunk Competition: Gerald Green won easily over Nate Robison. Judges robbed Dwight Howard of the Finals.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Barkley and Bavetta kept this from being the worst All-Star saturday ever

[lefty]

Barkley and Bavetta kept this from being the worst All-Star saturday ever

Yep ; and Kapo too

[T Park]

Barkley and Bavetta kept this from being the worst All-Star saturday ever

"whistles"

Thats a strong statement there bro.

[Marcus Bryant]

As always, a lukewarm night before the ASG.

Amused at MJ being the hardass judging the dunk contest.

Someone take the basketball away from Nate Robinson. Please.

Jason Kapono wins the 3 point shootout. I can't stop touching myself.

There's no better way to improve ratings than to feature Iceman (sorry) and Lambeer in unis decades after they retired.

[dave]

i found a clearer picture

it said

"ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST !
PHIL: 4:13"

[Pistons < Spurs]

^^exactly



A photographer with a telephoto lens helped me get a good look at that sticker, and in addition to a pre-printed image of Howard's face, his initials, and his number, there was handwritten marker. Not too big. In fact, even with the lens it was very tough to read.

In this life, you always have to read the fine print. And the fine print on that sticker made clear that Howard, at least, doesn't believe he did it alone.

"All things through Christ" Howard had written in marker. Then "Phil 4:13." That's Philippians 4:13.

Asked about it, Howard recited in a heartbeat: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Our Brent? CAndunk? Maybe im retarded but i never recalled seeing him dunk in a game before.....

If I remember right he dunked from the FT line to win it.

[lefty]

If I remember right he dunked from the FT line to win it.

Exactly ; he dunked fro mthe FT line to win the 1996 dunk contest in...San Antonio...

Pugglekicker_21 , WTF have you been? Are u sure you are from SA???

[Bruno]

I've liked :
- The Bavatta/Barkley race, it was hilarious.
- The 3 point contest. Not a lot of suspense but it's always nice to see a conteast with some best shooters in the league.
- Terry and Dirk choking. Arenas owning Dirk with only one hand. (It's just to tease some Mavs fans)
- Dwight Howard :an all star and a big man (big men aren't favorised in the dunk contest) who hasn't acted like a pussy.
- Green's first dunk and Howard sticker dunk : both were great dunks.

I haven't liked :
- The shooting stars event : It's more a lottery thing that a real contest with the midcourt shot and even if it's nice to see some legends, it's painfull to see them missing 10 3 pointers in a row.
- The skills contest who looks like an agilty dog event with unmotivated dogs.
- Mary J Blige for destroying a nice song.
- No Barry.
- Nate Robinson : pathetic.
- Slam dunk judges : pathetic too.

[ginobili fan]

James in skills contest WTF????? He's like a rino
Happy that I wouldn't see Nate anymore in SDC.
SDC is worse and worse each year...
I loved MJ falling out with the other old judges.(He was gry-an we could see it in his eyes and his discussions with J....Just pathetic.That's why he gave a 10 for Green's last).
The best of the night was the Bavatta/Barkley race,with Bavatta sliding until blood and he's 67...oh man Give him credit for that ad Charles is...:lmao
