Moderators AHF Posted February 20, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 The drama and showmanship for the dunk was great. Good theater - especially for a guy everyone knew the NBA desperately wanted to win to continue to catapult his star. But for the actual dunk, I imagine that 80% of the guys in the dunk contest could nail that without any practice. Just not a high degree of difficulty.

EazyRoc Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Yea it was all about the dramatics, but overall a disappointing dunk. I was originally expecting him to jump over the cab of the car or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 No you're not the only one. Like some folks said, BG could've done a lay-up and still won. The NBA fails for promoting coaches on this. A lot of presenation and less on dunks. What I liked when Josh won he completed his dunks on the first try so the wow-ness factor is still high.

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted February 21, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I was thinking it would've been more impressive had BG dunked the ball over the Choir. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted February 22, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I found the whole thing too overblown with bs. Too many missed dunks. I miss the old days of Jordan and nique when it was just about dunks and creativity and people didn't miss their dunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Dunk was not impressive but I'm guessing the Clips don't want him to miss the dunk if he would've tried it on the highest point. That would suck. I agree with the miss dunks though... the glamour falls off if they missed it and tried the same dunk. What I don't really like is how they can get 50s even if they miss the first (or second, or third) time. It would be better if the judges deduct 1 point for every miss dunk attempt.
