because he is a three time winner & people like Jordan & Nique are only two time champs...even if we put our tremendous hatred for all things Chicago (or all things not Orange & Blue) to the side, we have to realize that, that aint right

Dee Brown, or Kenny Sky Walker's scrub asses didnt kill it by winning back-to-back. At least Nate's a good player.

Duke jumped over Dwight Howard. C'mon now. Besides, since the 80s the dunks have been more about showmanship than artistry and athleticism. But everything has been seen before. Nothing more can be done except going back to the basics and repeating dunks.

I say let the street ballers do the dunk contest and have an NBA player "sponsor" them. With the winner maybe getting a tryout. Or a nice cash prize and the NBAer getting bragging rights. The dude in this video is the one who presented Nate with the trophy on Saturday.

Yeah, N8 basically brought the fire. Its unfortunate that the other contestants refused to (as Kenny the Jet said) take the bunji off. They were doing like 6th grader dunks. Wallace and the others should be embarrassed. Derozan only had 1good dunk (1).

N8 is the only one who showed up and should not be criticized because he was forced to compete with those weak azz dunkers.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

well, Jordan should only be a 1time winner considering the one year Dominique got robbed. And Nique should be a 3timer since he was robbed in the spud webb contest.

Dwight and LeBron both threw down multiple "50" dunks during the A-S game.

They should cancel the Dunk contest and just award the a slam dunk title to the player that makes the sickest in-game All-Star dunk.

This would ensure that all the greats... LeBron, Wade, Kobe, etc... would dunk. As long as they make the game.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

A bunch of wusses if you ask me. They want to be mentioned in the same breath as the past greats (MJ, Bird, Mag) but, don't want to pay their dues. MJ and Co understood that AL Weekend was NOT about them but about THE FANS. They great dunk artists would enter the dunk contest while the great shooters entered the 3pt. These guys act like the league should be paying them to enter.

Hey, blame the guys who begged to enter like Wallace who didn't belong, Derozan who we all saw the non-competitor in. Hell if that how he intended to compete he should have given his spot to Gordon

I think this can be fixed. Have Jordan, Nique, Dr J, Vincanity all speak out and callout these supposed superstars. Let's see how fast they beg to be included.

That cat who did the 720 dunk is the same guy who presented Nate with the Slam Dunk trophy this past weekend.


That cartwheel dunk was amazing...they both were.

Shaq called out Kobe, D Wade & Vince a few weeks ago to go up against Lebron to no avail.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Not Shaq. We need the legends of the game that participated in the dunk contest to call them out. This truly is sad that these fools think they are better than legends of the past.

i think that was pretty much Lebron calling these cats out to be honest... i know Shaq can get away w/these things cuz he's the big fella, but really if those guys took up that challenge u know Lebron would have also.

Nate was not the problem. However, Gerald Wallace doing a regular reverse layup and S. Brown doing an alley opp that he does in regular games is a different story. Nate should have had better competition.

I did not think Nate was as bad as people think.

i think guys just expect something brand new that's never been seen before to happen every dunk contest & no one gave us anything we haven't seen before in this dunk contest... none of Nate's dunks were bad at all, but people expect gimmicks & new twists now.

Nate wasnt bad at all!!! I just think the whole form is kinda wack & it needs a whole new spin & like Kam and many others, I feel that the dunks that happen during the game are far more spectacular & difficult than the pseudo drama of pumping up ones Reeboks or bringing out the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders (unless he was gonna dunk remove his shorts mid-air & get some oral satisfaction as he landed...now that wouldve been a dunk worth seeing :-)

Did Nate "the Gr8" kill the Slam Dunk contest???
