Look who is judging the NBA Dunk Contest!!!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4kicTFWMAA6pXN.jpg:large
Glad to see Shaq's not in it. I'm ready for this weekend. Think the 2 unknown dunkers will surprise
Save for Chris Webber, these old and bitter men would probably give a 360 Between the legs dunk an 8.
Guess those one handed 180 dunks was more impressive.
After seeing the dunk elite guys, it's hard to be impressed by some of the dunksQuote:

DRob is ready to give some numbers tbh

I wanted to see Simmons. The dunk contest has lately been a good show... I couldn't care less about the rookie sophomore game... I don't even like the actual ASG though I did watch Nowitzkis and Duncan's last two seasons ago and it was really worth it for the humors they both added.Quote:

I always laugh when some kid tries to show off with a fancy dunk and misses. :lol
When's the last time the NBA had consecutive entertaining dunk contests, tbh?
In the 80's, probablyQuote:

Too bad Levine is out this year. :ihit
Where's all the whites? Not a diverse group of judges tbh.
Those old dunk contests are hilarious. We see dunks in-game now that are much more amazing than most of those. The first one in '76 was at halftime, and some 80 year-old woman was one of the judges.Quote:

The Knicks' Carmelo Anthony will replace injured Kevin Love as an Eastern Conference All-Star, according to league sources.

Jon Simmons, giving one reason he'll likely never be in a dunk contest: "I’m just a straight game dunker. I just want to dunk on people.”
It's funny he would say that bc that is what some spursfan were saying about him in the dunk contest.Quote:

Good. Sick of these participation ribbons in the dunk contest every year. A two handed set-it-in dunk from the charging cylinder gets you a 9.5 most seasonsQuote:

That quote is straight from the horse's mouth. :lol

LOL... I like that attitude. Not interested in jumping over a Kia. "I need to see the biatch's face."
nice smile ^^^^
:toast
Westbrook talking about fashion every time some asks about Durant. :lol

If you average it out Kawhi's in second.Quote:

I know Curry is the two-time MVP...but he hasn't even been the best player on his team this season.
Robinson led the entire league in dunks per season on more than one occasion before he injured his back... He knows dunks... Even if he was a center...Quote:

He dunked but that's not what he was about and he wasn't about the dunk culture in that he didn't stare someone down after dunking on them, showboat in any kind of way, or dunk gratuitously. The dunk contest is about the dunk culture. Admiral was the anti-thesis of that culture.Quote:

Wow
Kawhi has arrived. Id put him above Hardon, eliancito,
I think he is tied in 2nd with chimpmunk and ethiopian if you include both iffense and defense
Id put Kylie squarely as #6 in the league btw.
Cavs have #1 and #6 best players in the league
Worriers have #2 and #5 imo
He deserves these moments.Quote:

bertans shoulda made it instead of abrines.
Yup...Quote:

His journey is remarkable it can't be denied... and probably deserving more than we know.
They should put an age limit in rising stars.
Simmons is like 27 years old...hes not going to raise anynore :lol
Dr. J retire from judging? He has the most appearances by far.
He's like the 45 year old, doing the basics, at the Community College.Quote:

Already shaping up to be a lame game.
No one ever tries.
It's still such a great story... TBH. Almost from like a movie.Quote:

A definite late bloomer. I have my own doubts he remains a Spur bc he's due to get paid and his agent needs to get him as much as he possibly can. I don't know if he's the answer post Ginobili myself but who knows? Pop will know. Just in case, just got to enjoy him right now for the Simmons fan.
Simmons looking like the second-best player on the USA team after KAT tbh.
Holy shit Simmons setting twitter on fire :lol

This no-defense kind of game is perfect for him.
Yes...Quote:

Did you see that courtside interview? Westbrook been smoking sherm.
Ingram is a scrub tBH... I don't wnat to say it bc I haven't watched much of him but jeeeezzzz.
Dudes a freakQuote:

I missed it.. just saw him but wasn't paying attention to the interview.Quote:

LMAO... Simmons begging for a couple of 'oop passes, and they ain't giving it to him. So he gets the ball in his hands and he doesn't want to give it up.
Again Ingram scrubbing USA...
President Kaminsky not SimmonsQuote:

Some have said that.. in fact want Manu to handle the ball less... some Simmons fans like sasaint.Quote:

Kaminsky going Mossad on niggas
Kylie just came out saying the earth was flat tbh...sounds like a dumb mother fucker to meQuote:
