Was Jeremy shaking after that first dunk when they flashed to him sitting down? I think he felt the awkwardness. I'm happy he won for the simple fact that I really like the guy and next year he pretty much has to be the contest now and I think he could a lot better given time to come up with better ideas.

But holy guacamole that whole format was awkward. I like Kenny Smith, but man, that just is not a good way to conduct a dunk contest. Just felt really forced.

The best part of the contest was Charles Barkley making fun of everybody.

The glow in the dark dunk was cool, but the dunk it self was lame as ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't tell, but I thought it was a 360 windmill. The dunk looked quite difficult. Also thought George's dunk over Hibbert was more impressive than Budinger's over P. Daddy. P. Daddy had a perfect pass.

That was a sweet pass by Hayward, but I thought Budinger had the best dunks in rounds one and three. Evans won round two. So based on that, Chase should have won.

Also, the Kenny Smith hosting this was pure crap. Just let the players do their thing without all the side show.

Budinger's dunks were lame. In the end, there was really one outstanding dunk(Evans 2nd one) and the majority of the rest were blah. I did like Williams' 2nd dunk and George's as well. But Evans had by far the best dunk.

It was a 360 windmill. Pretty good I thought, but turning out the lights wasn't a big deal.

His 2nd dunk took 2 times. The other ones were pretty basic though. I still really liked the 3rd one.

That's right, my bad.

I disagree about George's dunk over Hibbert. I thought it ended up being pretty weak after he finally made it on the third attempt while using Hibbert's shoulder for some extra leverage.

This was the worst thing that couod have happened. I wanted him to win, but not with weak dunks in a weak contest. Hopefully he can defend his title next year and do some better dunks and not look so socially awkward. With that said, I love the Jazz won something.

Better than losing in a weak dunk contest.

I thought there were some excellent dunks, Budingers first, Evans 2nd, and Williams turnaround, don't know what you all expect them to do.
I don't believe that George couldn't see through the blindfold, I guess no one else did either or he prob would have won.

He's definitely good at doing that, and yes I was laughing a lot at Chuck's comments.

Evans with the Mailman vanity dunk jumping over a mailman was at least creative.

Was there a reason the Mailman had a speech impediment? It just made an awkward skit even more awkward.

 

[Hayward Supremacist]

Also, **** P Diddy.

I hope his TV station fails miserably.

If somebody said, "White power," I mean, could you imagine the outrage that would ensue? But he says, "Black power," and it will surely get swept under the rug.

Only white people are racist!!!!!

Jeremy Evans 2nd dunk was what won it. Derrick Williams also had an awesome 2nd dunk, but his 3rd round bust killed him.

Evans first dunk was god awful.
2nd dunk was awesome.
3rd dunk was cool for the tribute, and he had great elevation. Wish he would have done the Malone from the FT line though.

Agree. The 1st was pedestrian. But dunking 2 balls...that was incredible. And, although the 3rd was not over someone as tall as Hibbert, like George did, Evans also took off from a lot further away and had impressive elevation. Malone being involved in some way would have been great.

Congrats to Jeremy!

Budinger had the blindfold. Overall, we were spoiled by Vince Carter in the past as well as others. I agree that there are only so many things a human can do when trying to perform in one of these contests. It's getting to the point where we have seen about everything people have to offer and that makes us much less impressed.

For me turning out the lights took away some of the wow factor, as I had to see the replay to see exactly what happened.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Williams took himself out by tanking the last dunk.
George took himself out by bricking the sticker dunk.

So it was really Buddinger and Evans.

Agreed, it would have been great if Karl was the was somehow involved. Like him jumping over Karl or something.

Dwight Howard ruined the contest with the inclusion of gimmicks. Now every dunk has to have a gimmick attached to it.
