LaVine is the easy pick here, but don't sleep on Barton

Good first dunk. Normally, that would have been a 10, but the bar has been raised.

I'm not sure how I feel about the 44. Part of think the dunk is not a 10, but surely it's better than a 44.

You know that's an average 8.8, right?  Can't get much higher without having some 10s in there.

I know, that's why I'm torn.

Like I said, part of me think it should be more than 8.8, and part of me thinks it's not a 9. I'm lost here...

So far this night has been a pleasant surprise. For a while now All-Star Saturday night event have lost a lot of excitement and luster.

The skills challenge and three point shoot out were fantastically entertaining. I don't have much hope for the dunk contest, however. Maybe I'll be surprised here too.

I'd have to 100% agree on this one.

They did just announce Will Barton as "Denver Nuggets Will Bynum" over the arena speaker right? and I'm not going crazy...
and TNT said Alex Gordon... :o

The young timber pup grow on me more every day. Wiggins, Town, Lavine in 2-3 years? Watch out.

IMO he's the only one in the contest who should be there.

Bleh!

Dunk contest has just become so boring and disappointing. Too gimmicky.

Part of the problem, though, is the Dunk in general is just not as novel as it once used to be. Very little 'wow' factor left to be exploited.
