I like to root for the little guy to win it every time. Just to give some support to the underdog.

are the rules still the same, if so & the fans vote in the Finals & Nate finds himself in the Finals; he'll win if he misses both dunks lol.

And Derozan isn't a guard? LOL.

Derozan >>> Gordon

Derozan was holding back. He knew it'd be easy to get past Gordon. LMAO at u thinking if it was up to the judges, he would have gotten in  ::)  Dude took so long to complete both dunks when Derozan completed both on 1st attempt. Derozan is a dirty dunker. You'll see tonight.

If youre doubting DeMars dunking ability, then watch the videos I posted in this thread.  Eric Gordon cant do half the dunks DeMar can throw down.

I'm going for Brown, looking forward to seeing Wallace and Derozan was well, just wish Nate wasn't in it  :-\

lol, whats up your ass man?  i have feeling because hes a raptor?



i didnt know he wasnt a off guard because he sucks (dont tell me this n that, if he were good id know his name and he would of played in the rookie game), if he were any half as good as gordon than i would of known. his dunks were simple and boring, gordon even though he messed up were more fun to watch.


derozan is probaly a better dunker, but gordon is far more a better player.



gordon> derozan any day.


3rd rookie over a no name rookie any day.

the NBA made a joke of itself for quite some time now with that contest ... Nate with like 8 attempts to finally make a dunk or all these wack ass Dwight gimmicks ...  the Desmond/J-Rich era was actually good but people were compaining about the lack of stars ..

the safest thing is to clone Vince muthafucking Carter aka the GOAT dunker...

anyways the whole week end is WACK for some years ... I don't get why people are so hyped for it

lmao.

I know everybody is sick to death of Nate Robinson, but in his defense, his last dunk really did win the competition. So congrats to Nate, he is the legit winner of the worst dunk contest in NBA history. Now, if only he'd give his other two trophies back to Dwight and Iguodala.

Demar fucked up with that final dunk, I think he just turned pussy. Shannon Brown was a pussy too for that matter, I dont know why the hell he didnt even try to fix his 360 attempt. Gerald Wallace didn't even try, and I dont really know why he was there to begin with, considering he was lackluster in the dunk contest 8 years ago, and nothing really changed today.

Anyone can do it but the bigger stars don't like doing it later in their career so they end up giving it to the younger players.

i was away, so i know i'm late lol.

but honestly, the NBA All-Star Weekend is the worst thing in all of sports lol.

starting off with the H.O.R.S.E. contest that started RETARDEDLY with that "you have to do this trick shot (that took 100,000 tries before posted on Youtube) & WHEN you miss, you get an H"; that was a terrible start & sadly enough the best part was Durant & Rondo having their shootoff lol.

but then, that wasn't even HORSE then lol.

the team shooting thing is a cool concept, the retired player, the WNBA player & the NBA player, but then they can fly through the first couple shots, but it all comes down to who gets a lucky half court shot in...lol.

the PG Skills Contest is cool, no hate for that; same for the 3 point contest; although Paul Pierce winning it shows how anybody with an average shot from outside can win it.

THEN FINALLY...THE MOTHER FUCKING DUNK CONTEST.

what bullshit, how awful was that? Nate's dunks were the shittest dunks i think i've ever saw; i think any average dunker pulls some of those off mid-game lol.

it was easily the worst performance all time; the best dunk was an average dunk in past years.

but i think the thing that put me over the edge when i officially stated, "i will never watch another one until LeBron or Kobe is in it", was when they announced Nate had won with 51% of the vote; do you know how fixed that sounds?

fans should never be allowed to vote, let the judges do their thing.

awful weekend, NBA. :rant: :grumpy:

Dwight's yellow sweater vest was more interesting that this dunk contest.

but there have been horrible responses throughout the country about it; when they were about to announce the winner Charles Barkley said out loud to the arena, "can nobody win?" (something along those lines).

David Stern has to try to get some big names involved next year.

although, it doesn't even have to be big names; it's just Dwight, LeBron & Kobe are great dunkers.

give me any great dunkers, i just want to see amazing, new, creative dunks; i don't care who does them.
