I can understand a bit about being critical of the dunk contest but just think its kind of a bad look for memo to be SO negative about it after a jazz sensation wins it. Did he tweet anything positive about it at all. Like did he say "that was the worst dunk contest ever.... But im really happy to see donovan win it and rep the jazz well" or something?

Seems that some people are butthurt that some people arent thrilled about memo's comment about the dunk contest. I find that lol worthy as well.
Most everything on jazzfanz is lol worth when you look closely. We are grown men and women that are obsessed with something that really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things after all.

I'd rather a person be 100% transparent and tell things how they see them and feel than be fake and try and please others.

You have a damn good point here.
That's okay. Nothing matters in the grand scheme of things.

Suddenly I feel so small... what does it all mean?
He doesnt work for the Jazz. He is entitled to his opinion. He doesnt have to rid the Jazz's dick for the rest of his life.

Slam Dunk contest is like sex for some people. You hit that sweet spot numerous times and keep searching for that quality from each event. This one was nice, but the important part for me is that I know that Mitchell played it safe and has a lot more in his bag of tricks and potential is higher than what he showed. Him winning it is another thing of beauty because Association and press acknowledging a Jazz product is rare and good news.

Have you ever heard about the Eye of Horus and the Pineal gland (the part of the brain that many believe controls the human consciousness?)

Unleash your third eye, dude.

And it's not like his comment was classless and offensive anyway. We have such a cultural mindset now that is something is said online that isn't positive then it's automatically wrong, offensive, and triggers the SJWs.
My brother just came over to my house so we could put in for some hunts here in Utah (dare I even say that?) and I asked him about the dunk contest and if he watched it. He said it was boring and turned it off before he went to bed. Mind you, he's been a Jazz fan his whole life and a season ticket holder. I understand that Mitchell is the Jazz's future and I've personally have never been this excited about a Jazz rookie/player or seen our fan base so excited about a player in my life but saying the dunk contest wasn't that great or boring, to me, isn't ******** on Mitchell or being a Debbie Downer. It just means we've seen better ones. Like someone said on here and I think nailed it, the great dunk contests are the exception to the rule. They don't happen every year and when they do, we tend to remember them years/decades later.
Another reason why I think the dunk contests are less exciting is because there are literally professional dunkers and tons of videos online that show guys doing dunks that very, very few NBA players could do unless they devoted their full time and attention to jumping and dunking. It's tainted it the dunk contest, but they are still fun to watch.
My favorite part about the dunk contest last night was Mitchell putting down his first dunk with ease and he did it earlier than I thought he would. I wasn't ready at the time and when it went in I got to my feet and cheered. It was the perfect dunk that was both safe and exciting to do in the first round. My second favorite part to the contest was Mitchell rocking the retro uniform. Damn those are sexy. Lastly, my least favorite part was when Mitchell took his jersey off to reveal Carter's. To me, it should be taboo to wear Carter's jersey in the dunk contest and to replicate one of the dunks from arguably the best dunk contest ever. You're never going to win in those circumstances. I also should note I enjoyed when Mitchell jumped over the three children. There's a pic online of that dunk that's down right special and bad ***.
Ben Simmons fans must be going insane right now....
You gotta give it to Donovan, he’s been repping the Jazz hard. Stockton shorts, Griffith tribute, city jersey, city hoodie on ESPN, tried the mailman’s dunk... not to mention every chance he gets he’s mentioning several of his teammates in every interview.

I stand corrected. This analogy nails it.
I agree it’s not always a good idea to pull out a VC jersey in a dunk contests.....but a no win situation? Donovan won on that dunk....and I agree Memo didn’t say anything too bad, but Donovan has the love of this fan base locked up like I haven’t ever really seen, and anything close to being a criticism of him is gonna draw some fire.And it's not like his comment was classless and offensive anyway.

The boy's face of wonder in that pic is priceless. He really was the only one who seemed to have enjoyed that. Kevin Hart's face on the other side was pure terror and Donovan's sister didn't even want to look. But the boy - oh he was having FUN.

Bro my pineal gland and third eye are unleashed one a week and on my birthday and Christmas... that ain’t the problem.
Yeah I'm just glad he didn't get injured doing something silly. I mean when he was gonna jump over 3 people my heart sorta sank a bit, like something bad was gonna happen. Then he made them all crouch down which made me feel better.
Three children... hahaha sick burn on Kevin HartAnd it's not like his comment was classless and offensive anyway. We have such a cultural mindset now that is something is said online that isn't positive then it's automatically wrong, offensive, and triggers the SJWs.
