Faried is a good in-game dunker but doubt he's going to go nuts in the contest. Bledsoe will be intriguing. Not exactly Nate but he's good
That dunk comp could be great. White, Green and Ross are all freak athletes. Bledsoe is pretty amazing to and being so short, always helps. Faried might be ok and Evans is the test dunk comp winner ever and I wish he was never in a dunk comp again.
lmao Bonner. King of Chokers. I'll be rooting that he at least gets to the 3rd rack before time runs out.
Too be fair to Evans the NBA rejected 2 of his dunks he wanted to perform last year late Friday night so him and Hayward had to come up with a couple new dunks in less than 24 hours.
Yeah, he's the only old player on the slate but he's the defending champion.
gonna be fun to watch jeremy rin displaying his TO-generating talents there, the yellow ain't even the best dribbler on his own team tbh. steve novak will win the 3pt contest while matt bonner wins the most lolz
Manimal probably won't have the flair needed tbh
What's this eastern conference / western conference thing in the dunk contest? Does the league have some kind of lame angle added to this compe ion instead of jump simple 2 dunks, 2 scores per round?
TP participating in the tiest contest as usual
Based on hops alone Gerald Green is the favorite imo but hops isn't enough without some creative dunks.
In the end the dunker that brings the stupidest gimmick wins. Probably Bledsoe jumping over a mini cooper to continue the flop city tradition of lame dunks.
Why there are West and East ? Going to be team contests ?
Have you never seen the stuff James White does? The guy has done between his legs from the FT line many times. Two hand from the FT line many times. Two hand windmill from the FT line. He does the straight FT line dunk WAY better than even Jordan ever could. If he's even 75% of what he was a couple of years ago no one else has any shot whatsoever. James White is unquestionably the greatest dunker to ever play in the NBA. Unless he's gone full TOSB by now I expect the guy to destroy Carter's 2000 performance and Jordan's 1987 dunk contest.
tbh the only reason I'll watch the festivities on Saturday night is to see how badly Boner chokes during the shootout. the soulless freak can't handle pressure and one can only hope this ruins his confidence for the rest of his career.
