rudys 1st round dunks > nates 1st round dunks

did u see rudys first dunk he threw it off the backboard and jsut did a weak 2 hand slam, original maybe in 1960


yea but that cant be worse than jumpin  off chandlers back


You don't really get a lot of lift jumping off someones back...the dunk was still impressive, not as easy as you think. Rudy woulda advanced if he didn't try his dunk 6,000 times before he nailed it.

This is the worst argument against Rudy when you consider that Nate Robinson actually won the dunk contest after 8000 attempts in 06.


that was before they had a timer...and Iguodala was robbed that year, anyways. this year, Nate deserved it.

what difference does the timer make? The new rules allow for 2 attempts after the time expires so he was within the rules. I mean god damn if you're gonna give Dwight a 50 for that first dunk he did then Rudy's 2nd should have easily been a 50. And I agree with you on Igoudala being robbed, but I was citing an example of a precedent for not being penalized for a much bigger number of failed attempts than Rudy had. If Nate wasn't penalized then Rudy shouldn't have been either. Its whatever though, all star weekend has become a joke anyway.

Like I said, Iguodala was robbed that year, Nate shoulda been penalized in my opinion...no way anyone should get a 50 on a dunk that takes over 3 attempts.
