O. That would have been much better. I didn't pay attention to the format or anything. That would have made it much better. In that case, the west should have fielded a much better team.

Actually I think there would have been 5 knock outs. See if Ben would have won his then he would have faced PG and they would have faced. So not a whole lot better. I think they all should have Horton to show like 3 different dunks and then the top 2 go at it.

Wall's dunk was the only one to get a reaction from me. I thought it was transcendent. The judge interviews were dumb. Just let them throw up a number and be done with it.

And there def needs to be a final instead of that bs they had

What the hell made it so special? Sure, we've never seen that before but it was neither gracefull or powerful to me it was boring.

He jumped over a dude, grabbed the ball out of the extra's hands, and took it from his waist to the hoop for a reverse dunk. And he didn't miss any attempts either.
To each their own I guess. I thought it was crazy.

The thing that made it awesome is that he managed to pump the ball down too. He didn't just grab it and go straight up.
 
The dunk contest is lame every year. I fell asleep during it this year. Wall's dunk was cool doe.

I actual like the team thing in the skills challenge, but holy **** why would they ruin the 3 point shoot out like that?? the 3 point shootout id one of those classic sports things that they should never ever change. Hope they get rid of the dumb all money ball rack next year.

The thing that made the 3 pt shootout cool always is that it was easy to know how many of the remaining shots a guy was going to have to make to win, now you've gotta factor in bonus money ball dumb **** and its just harder to quantify what a good score actually is.

lillard's max vert is 39 1/2 inch. so burke has 3 inches to go. hit the gym trey!! military squat, lunges and calf raises!!

This makes no sense to me.

According to DX, Lillard has a 7'11.5 standing reach with a 40'' vertical.

Burke has a 8'1.5 standing reach with a 37'' vertical.

Theoretically, at the height of both their maximum verticals, Lillard only has an extra inch on Burke. Why then can Lillard throw down extremely sick dunks, but Burke can barely even dunk it?


Just goes to show you how worthless the NBA Combine really is.

Agreed.
Lillard can get up way higher, faster, and easier than trey.

The numbers dont make any sense

lillard - 34.5 inch no step, 39.5 inch max vert, 6ft 1 3/4, and 7ft 11 1/2 standing reach

trey - 29.5 no step, 36.5 inch max vert, 5ft 11 3/4, and 8ft 1 1/2 standing reach
https://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Trey-Burke-36200/

but lillard has bigger wingspan - meaning lillard has much wider shoulders and trey's arm is long as hell.

and look at the no step vert. trey is only 29 1/2 inch. basically trey never worked out in his life. just look at the bench number. 185lb 3 times? that's weak sauce. seriously.

and no step vert is all about doing squat. there is no ifs and buts about it. NFLers have much better no step vert than NBA players because they squat to death weekly basis.
