Title: All-Star Dunk Contest Participants are announced (plus new rules to the contest)
Post by: Halu Sination on February 05, 2007, 02:37:55 PM
Contestants:
Gerald Green, Boston F 6-8 200
Dwight Howard, Orlando C 6-11 265
Nate Robinson, New York G 5-9 180
Tyrus Thomas, Chicago F 6-9 215

Judges:
Michael Jordan
Dominique Wilkins
Kobe Bryant
Vince Carter
Julius Erving

There are two rule changes for this year’s competition: Upon receiving the ball from the referee, players will have a two-minute time limit to complete their dunk. If a player hasn’t completed a dunk when the two-minute clock expires, he will have two more attempts to do so. Also new this year is the use of television instant replay, at the discretion of the referee, for clarification of rules compliance

Gerald Green but since my man Tyrus Thomas is in it I will be rooting for him. Gerald Green does difficult dunks in the games so I am sure he will have something sick up his sleeve.

yeah, Nate Robinson using 35 attemps to do one dunk was a disgrace, and then he won it.  What the hell :eh: :grumpy:

After the first round...

Vince: *yawn*
Kobe: *sigh* [stares at Vince]
Vince: Yeah...Let's go.

Both get on the court and show how a real dunk contest is done.

Athletically Green should win this easily, but I think he's not the brightest, so maybe his dunks might suck, but I still think he should win this.

Damn, the judges this year SHIIIIIIT on the participants!!!! Only one I'm really lookin foward to is Gerald Green...Tyrus has only shown me alleyoops, two handers in the post, and a few nice one handers that weren't anything special. Dwight is a strictly power dunker, and will not even be as good as Antonio Harvey was back in the 90's....and Nate will be decent, but we've seen him before and won't really be as impressed.

I watched Gerald Green at the McDonalds All Star game in high school do the dunk contest.  He's fucking unreal.  I hope he wins.

i agree, the shock value of watchin the little man dunk is gonna wear off, unless he has some creative dunk that can completely blow us away.
