to be honest there's only so many dunks that can be done before it becomes repetitive. oh he does a 360 windmill through the legs, yeaaaah but we aw that last year with.. people wanna see something fresh, new .. and the dunk comp just isn't it. the dunk comp is still my favourite part of the all-star weekend, but they need to find a way to get the real stars/dunkers from the league involved (blake without rigging it, lebron, westbrook etc..) otherwise it'll have to end

exactly....
+ durant, westbrook, a rose were never great dunkers to begin with....however, lebron did say he would be in the contest and then pulled out. biggest bitch move in dunk contest history.

westbrook isn't a great dunker? :o
Sccit:
Westbrook is a good dunker, but not a GREAT dunker...
great dunkers=Vince Carter, Dominique Wilkins, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Darryl Dawkins, etc. if u put him in the same class as these guys, ur insane.

i'm sorry but when i see Kobe named over Shawn Kemp i can't help but laugh.

LOL...Shawn Kemp is more of a power dunker, but Kobe, in his prime, had WAY more flair. both great dunkers in different respects...back on the topic, though, Westbrook aint close to either.

i miss vince straight up, you dont know what u have till its gone, how spoiled we were to watch the greatest dunker ever, i never appreciated it as much as i do now.
i dont see anyone dunking like vince any more, contested windmills, windmills over 1 or even 2 defenders. its ridiculous what he did, especially IN GAME. i dont see anyone doing that any more.
shit all you see these days is dudes missing open windmills (josh smith).
