nba all star crap sucked when they started messing with the dunk contest. The game pretty well has sucked for years.

The last All-Star game I watched was when Jerry Stackhouse won the slam dunk contest. I believe it was 1996 or 97.

Last years allstar game was good and a lot of fun to watch. They actually try for the most part more so than in the past.

Remember when Spud Webb won, lol! Dude was like 5-6 or smaller?

Nate Robinson can throw down for being 5-9.

Howard will probably win it again.

I really wish LBJ would enter, but wouldn't be fair, lol! I have seen him in practice just him showing off and he does shit so effortlessly and is very creative. Oh well.

OK it appears after looking it up, I Lied. lol I remember him doing something like that though.

Yeah, I was wondering where you got that, but didn't feel like telling you, lol!

Stackhouse and Carter are confusable....I did watch Oklahoma play today though and Blake Griffin went for 40 points and 23 boards with 2 assists

OMG, did you just see that 12 foot dunk?

if Dwight Howard did a 12 foot dunk he needs to raise it to 12'6" to equal what Nate Robinson does on 10 foot...Nate is over 1 foot shorter and loses over another foot in arm length.

no, he could easily do 13 i think. They said lebron couldn't do it, what do you think?

edit: lebron just said he can do 13 and he is going to be in the dunk contest next year

for one i think that was lame as hell. and two, yes lebron could do that just as easy. Ive seen lebron almost chest high on a 10 foot rim.

the announcers were saying "the crowd is stunned" no the crowd was bored as hell haha

I want nate robinson to win just for the fact that i think its lame dwight howard got all 50's when the only quality dunk howard had was that last one off the side of the backboard.

 

[99traceralpine]

That other dunk howard just did was even better, holy shit!

Lebron James officially in the 2010 Slam Dunk contest!

 

[99traceralpine]

howard just made those last two dunks look too easy, he wasn't sure, he could have went further on both easily. And he is a *** for using both arms, lol j/k

David Thompson could touch the top of the backboard then dunk on his way down....he made MJ, Lebron, Dr J or just about anyone who ever dunked look lame
