Let's stay humble

I wish i could post a clip from the wire by the Bunk about humility...

Very humble. But there is something to be said about showcasing talent on the biggest stage. All NBA fans know we got something special in Mitchell now.

Larry Nance Jr just looks bad when he’s dunking. He looks like Mark Eaton dunking or something. It’s neither graceful, nor explosive. You gotta have one or the other in a contest. His dunks look stiff and he doesn’t look like he gets up that high. It’s nothing like when a big guy like Dwight Howard looked like a rocket shooting off every time when he won the dunk contest.

I should clarify the explosive comment. It’s not that he doesn’t dunk hard, it’s that he doesn’t look like he explodes off the floor.

Mitchell deserved, he was the most solid out there

Now the world sees what the Jazz have. ROY suddenly looking like a lock.

Winning the dunk contest doesn't really guarantee anything...Remember Jeremy Evans ?

Mitchell's got the smile and personality of a star. He knows this is entertainment and he's laying into it. The other guys were kinda stone-faced. I'm sure that didn't hurt.

Kinda wish the dunk Mitchell copied was Frederic Weiss getting dunked over one.

Larry Nance is too cocky I'm glad Mitchell beat him

 

[Archie Moses]

Fun to see Mitchell win, but what a weak dunk contest.

Not even close to the same argument or the one that I'm even making. However, nice try.

Good job by DM. Other guys were pretty terrible... that crowd seems like they on ambien. Is anyone a non-celebrity or interested in basketball at all?
