kids put on quite a show. IMO blake griffin deserved the win, but Mcgee was a close second
One of the best dunk contests i've seen

This is what I thought Griffin was going to do, I would've been impressed if he had. Not to say that his dunk wasn't innovative, but the skill level wasn't really that hard. McGee's double basket dunk or even his triple dunk were much harder that that one.
I thought it overall sucked. I miss the old dunk contests. Too much setup and preparation nowadays.
i felt ibaka's first dunk was awesome... call me old school, but it's the first time i've seen a "free throw dunk" BEHIND the free throw line. jordan's, dr. j's, and brent barry's were all at or a step in front of the line.
maybe there've been others who've done it behind the line, but last night's dunk contest was the first one i've caught in a couple of years.

I thought all the contestants had at least one dunk that was cool and innovative.
Not too bad top to bottom.
FT dunk and Griffins 'off backboard elbow' dunk were the 2 most impressive IMO.

This year was a lot better then previous years. Hopefully LeBron steps up next year
Jordan had one that he was about an inch behind the line but I can't find it. He's also the only one to jump from the line and actually double pump the ball in the air and not just fly through and dunk it. I'll give the guy 3-5" if he doesn't just fly and do a simple dunk.
There was a triple jumper that jumped from behind the line a long time ago and dunked it with 2 hands.
This^^^
DeRozan was robbed overall and Ibaka got screwed on the FT line dunk score.
The "over the car" dunk is ridiculously overrated, IMO. BG's first dunk was badass and the one he was going to do for the second would've been nuts if he hadn't run out of time. Overall, I thought it was a good competition. I think they need to change the format so everybody does 4 dunks and then they pick a winner.

Best dunk of the night, IMO,

Dunk contest wasnt all that great. Griffin stole the arm in basket dunk from Vince. Bottom line is using props is played out now. They need to go back to high flying backboard shattering dunks kinda like the first few of the night. None of this grabbing teddy bear stuff or jumping over the hood of a car when your almost 7ft tall to begin with. Kobe vs Lebron would be a pretty good match
LeBron will never participate, he may lose:lol1:
the dunks were cool...when they finally pulled em off. Watching someone try the same dunk 8 times is annoying as hell. I think if I had bought tickets to see that, I would have been disappointed.
i go back and forth on the props...some of them are cool and others (like the bear) are stupid

Jordan never dunked from behind the line, although his AND Dr. J's, AND Breant Barrys were all more impressive 'looking'.
Truth.
A. He double pumped, thats why his dunk looks like he's actually flying
B. He's 6'6 not 7'0 with a 90" reach like Ibaka.

Griffin had that won before he stepped on the court. It all boils down to a pop contest, and its in LA where everything was scripted. Hell look who won the celebrity MVP
This. ^^
Bieber, Kobe, Griffin.
Should have been : Pippen, LeBron/Durant, Take your pick.
