I'm surprised that J.R. Smith hasn't done one of these..

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:

That Lister Blister was just filthy....Griff is almost there, but not quite, young fella.



wow, I don't think anyone will ever beat that highlight reel

Kemp sure was a freak of nature.  I remember as a teen just being astounded by his powerful dunks.  For a while, Kemp was actually one of my fav players.

Here's the thing that stands out to me most about that highlight reel though.  Every single one of those dunks would have resulted in a technical foul in today's wussified game.  Can't "showboat" like that these days.  It's a crime a gainst humanity, and all. ::)

b o r i n g...let's now go back to the regular season, shall we?

Yeah, I semi-watched tonight.  Saw the skills challenge, three-point shootout, and turned it off after the Chase Budinger/"P.Diddly-doo whatever his name is now" theatrics.

Skills challenge was ok, three point shoout stunk (everybody seemed to shoot horribly tonight), and the dunk contest hasn't been good in years.

This was the most boring Saturdy night I saw. And I can't believe I stayed to be late for work for it.

Skills was alright. I don't know but I've always liked the shootout, but it didn't excite me. The Slam Dunk, other than the Evans' two ball dunk and George's Tron dunk was reall boring.

Chuck is right. Them superstars better be in dunk contest next year.

Keep in the force meter and the league makes Lebron, J smooth, DJ, Blake and John Wall dunk. No props allowed. pure athletism and timing.

maybe unless Lebron dunks over a lion or something

That Derrick Williams off the side of the backboard 360 dunk was excellent. My favourite dunk.

The Paul George over Roy Hibbert and Hayward to Evans double ball dunk were very impressive too.

Too right man.

Also about the dunk contest- props and gimmicks are lame and Kenny Smith trying to whoop it up is extremely uncomfortable.

I like Durant to win MVP. I think he'll win a couple of them before he is done.

His explosive scoring and jump-shooting ability should be a great strength in putting together All-Star game MVP worthy performances.
