Who ya got for 3 point and dunk contest?
I got my boy Gallinari winning the shootout, yea Im a little bias but he can really shoot the lights out, plus he won a shootout competition when he was in Italy.
And I think Shannon Brown is gonna come away with the slam dunk championship.
man, you have to put list of the 3pt shootout, but reverse it. I had frye winning with pierce finishing last. And brown, you let me down big time. I've seen him do better dunks in games. And barkley is crazy if he thinks pierce isn't even a top 10 celtic and behind Dennis Johnson.
this is quite possibly the worst dunk contest ever and tnt just cut to gerald wallace while derozan was dunking. horrible. i have been the biggest dunk contest fan for years but until we get some big names in here i dont know if i will come back to it. Nate robinson's last dunk was pretty sick but i think everyone will agree that it has been disappointing. i hope the game is good tomorrow.
man im pissed. nobody brought anything to this contest. CALLING ALL GREAT PLAYERS THIS DUNK CONTEST NEEDS YOU.
WAKE UP LEBRON, ANDRE IGUODALA, JOSH SMITH, DERRICK ROSE, RUSSELL WESTBROOK THIS CONTEST NEEDS ATHLETES AND STARS OR UP AND COMING STARS LIKE YOU.
Seriously, Derrick Rose's dunk on Gragic and alley oop vs the hawks were better than all the dunks I saw tonight. Hell I know Lebron isnt really a contest dunker but Id rather see him do his regular 1 handed dunk with his head above the rim. Im so pissed, this has been a terrible basketball weekend so far, IMO. Charles Barkley is hilarious though. He said Maybe nobody will win.
i thouhgt wallace was the worst. Brown was terrible, but still a little better then wallace. And yeah, Gordon did better then both of them. But overall, everyone sucked. I thought derozan's off the side of the backboard windmill was the best by far. The only memorable dunk. I would expect this if you just grabbed nba players out of the crowd and they had no time to plan anything. Does anyone know where we can see the dunk contest from the non nba players?
That could've very well been the most horrible dunk contest ever in the history of Earth..I agree with Tezo, I think Derozan is a very good dunker, but he is pretty overrated.
Shannon Brown was just horrible. He had no creativity. If I had that leaping ability, I would have dunks for days. Same with Gerald Wallace.
Oh my Goodness, I just thought about how horrible the contest was again
I'm still in shock at how horrible this was... Left a nasty taste in my mouth. DeRozan's dunk off the side of the backboard was coo, but I thought the off the side of the backboard Rudy Fernandez did last season was better...
Shannon Brown... He looked like a deer in the headlights out there... He just jumps high. No creativity. He ran full court and did a regular dunk. Wow... Gerald Wallace was horrible LOL.
The Shannon Brown dunk where he switched hands in the air and dunked it is much more difficult than it looked, especially given that he made the switch at the top of his jump. It wasn't great, but most guys in the league couldn't do it. Some dunks are just more difficult than they look. J.R. Smith bringing the ball around his back and dunking didn't get enough appreciation. Gerald Green going between his legs in his socks was still the craziest thing I have ever seen, and it got yawns.
Nate's big appeal in the contest is that he is so short and just gets up so high that it just looks really good. Dwight Howard dunks on a 12-foot rim doesn't get as much love despite the fact that he has to jump just as high as Nate. Go figure.
like i said in the other post its not there fault its ours. we have seen so many great dunks that barely anything excites us anymore...a couple of yerars ago some of those dunks would have had us in awe. and that switch in the air dunk brown did is very hard , but we have seen so many great dunks its nothing to us anymore. a dunk from the free throw line would have made us yawn these days and thats not a easy dunk. we are spoiled
shannon brown for dunk
the 3pt shootout, i would rank them:
1-channing fye
2-daquean cook
3-chauncey billups
4-steph curry
5-danillo gallinari
6-paul pierce
i actually have a 25$ bet down against my brother in law and i have frye, billups and pierce.
