Oladipo & LaVine restored my faith in the Dunk Contest

People need to move on from LeBron in the dunk contest. It's not happening.

He is an in game dunker. His dunks aren't special and never been. He just dunks hard..nothing really fancy

Some people will never be happy. There's only so many dunks you can do. Levine was creative enough and he made the first 2 dunks on one try which is damn impressive.

If you're watching this contest expecting something you never seen before I would suggest you stop watching. It is very likely that you seen something identical or similar considering how long the contest been around.

I'm not expecting something different all the time. I just feel like he made an average dunk look easy. I think there's something to be said for making it look smooth, but when your doing a dunk that we've seen people add a 360 to it's going to take something away from it.

Agreed lol

Minny has two freakishly athletic rookies to pair with Rubio.

They will be fun to watch on the break for many years to come.

Lavine did pretty much the same dunk every time didn't he?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Similar dunks...not the same...exactly.

Kenny Smith can't fucking count. Calling Oladipo's dunk a 540. Even after Oladipo pulls out a 360 sign. also....his top 10 dunks of all time were crap.

Crowd is trash

I thought the same thing watching the show. That crowd sucked ass the entire night. They barely made noise for anything.

This is true, but there is youtube videos that show dunks that never been done in a dunk contest. They can get ideas from there.

I think it was tv that made it seem that way. A few of my friends went there and posted videos. Fans were literally jumping out of their seats after the dunks

The best event was the 3pt contest by far

I agree but as I said on the other thread, if they're going to 8 players now it should be 3 rounds instead of 2.

But man they put on a show.

Matthews even did amazing. And the splash bros are something special that's for sure

It was actually a complete letdown.

Finals wasn't close.

And half the field didn't advance in 1st round and there were only 2 rounds.

The idiotic format ruined an amazing field.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah the finals was a letdown.

Klay & Kyrie were bad

The NBA dropped the ball as they did not changed the format as they increased from 6 to 8 plyers

Kyrie and Klay both looked like they felt the pressure in that Final round. Curry was amazing. That was fun to watch. If i am correct a max score is 36, and he got a 27....thats pretty crazy...

yah usually a first round performance like Mathews had is good enough to get you to the final round....with Kyrie, Klay and Curry though you cant take anything away from the guy.

I hate the all money ball rack.

The scores would not have been nearly impressive without that rack

I agree- but only because i wish it was consistent for a long time- ifthey always did a rack of all money balls thats fine-

I think its great if they could have the same exact thing for years and years and years so you can effectively compare.

now we cant compare which sucks

At least the dunk contest went away from the dumb gimmicks and props.
