2012 All-Star Weekend

[Bahku]

So Kevin Love beats Durant, et al, for the three-point shootout victory ... nicely done!

[RJ87]

Officially going on the record and choosing Paul George as my choice in the slam dunk contest. That boy has serious hops.

[kg is king]

What was that Jeremy Evans?

[Atzar]

Round one:

Budinger's dunk was nice.  Jeremy Evans had a cool idea, but I didn't think he pulled it off well at all.  Paul George's dunk was meh after two misses, same with Derrick Williams.

Chase has been my favorite so far.

[ManUp]

Paul George is proving to be more Athletic than I first thought.

A man crush is slowly forming. 

[Atzar]

Alright, Jeremy Evans just got it all back.  That second dunk was cool.

[GreenFaith1819]

OH MY...did you all see Jeremy Evans....

[ManUp]

Nice dunk by Evans.

Not bad for a gimmick dunk.

[ManUp]

would've been even cooler if you could see the ball and the basket.

 

[Atzar]

Paul George should have gotten a glow in the dark ball, too.  Still, I liked the idea - it was creative.

[ManUp]

Nice dunk by Williams.

A 360 will make any dunk better. 

[Atzar]

Nice dunk by Williams.

A 360 will make any dunk better. 

Haha, no doubt.  I would have liked to see Evans do a 360 with his camera in the first round - would have made that gimmick a lot more entertaining IMO.

And Kevin Durant CANNOT be only 6'9"...he was looking Kevin Love directly in the eyes during the 3-pt shootout, I thought.

[ManUp]

Budinger is gonna miss the entire rim I'm calling it.

[Roy H.]

And Kevin Durant CANNOT be only 6'9"...he was looking Kevin Love directly in the eyes during the 3-pt shootout, I thought.

Kevin Love is actually only 6'9.5" in shoes (6'7.75" without shoes).

EDIT:  Durant measured at 6'10.25" in shoes, and 6'9" without shoes.  He's actually a bit taller than Love, then.
