Haha, I don't know if I buy that one or not, but it was a fun dunk anyway.

I knew Kevin Hart was short, but wow.

Sure that's a lot of attempts, but the difficulty on that Dunk is ridiculous.

Touch the left side of back board with the left hand then dunk on the right side.

10!

Ok, Paul George gets Tommy Points from me if he can nail this...the pic of Larry on the backboard is epic ;D

Props to Charles Barkley, too - he nailed it:

"The Best Frontline ever was 33-00-32"...he then follows it up with "They weren't the best looking group, though" lol..

That did seem to go by fast...props to Jeremy, though...that man's youtube portfolio is something else.

No one tops the Dr, Nique, Jordan, though...Nance, Terrance Stansbury...Chambers....those were the days.

Those guys did most of these same dunks in games ;D

Gimmicks and props killed the Slam dunk contest.

Paul George should've won.

Jeremy Evans only had one really good dunk, jumping over Kevin Hunt doesn't impress me.

I think Jeremy dunking with the two balls did it for him....but wait!

Didn't Javale McGee do something like that last year??

To be fair, his good dunk was the best of the night, and he jumped over Kevin Hart - no pushing off the shoulder or anything.

Overall, this was an underwhelming contest.  I don't think anybody in this contest would have even compared well to last year's show, much less some of the classics.

He has - twice, actually, if I'm not mistaken.  He would have actually fared a lot better about ten to fifteen years ago, when it was still about the dunks and not so much about the theatrics.  Now, he's just not enough of an entertainer to fare well.

Good point....and Lebron? I guess he's too good for these, too.

Well, I'll go ahead and live in the 90's:
