Am I the only one who wasn't that impressed with the Superman Dunk? I mean, it was a cool idea and all but Kenny Smith says it's a Top 5 of all time, which is ridiculous. For one, Dwight Howard didn't even dunk the ball. And two, take the cape away and it's a 30-35 score dunk.

Howard still deserved to win but I'm just saying.

That was a seriously awesome contest! Yes!
Dwight is SICK
Best thing I could have done on a Saturday night.

Basketball has been getting a lot of bad press the last few years but the all star weekend event is so good for the game...Happy to see it...

Watching these kinds of events just makes me sad. Yeah I know Nate was in it not long ago but honestly, when the hell are we going to see a Knick in the All-Star game again? It's pretty pathetic.

He didn't actually dunk it though he threw it in.

Yeah but it's tougher to throw it in like that...You have to be higher in the air...I think that was his intentions...I think....

no way was he meaning to do that... he came up short on that dunk & threw the ball in... that shouldn't have even counted if u ask me.

OK calm down Kenny Smith, this was not better than Vince Carter in 2000.

seriously, Kenny Smith is so annoying... hell, i thought Nate's dunk when he jumped over Spudd had more flair than what Dwight was throwing down tonight (except for the behind the backboard one, that was sick)

I disagree. I think Dwight's dunk was just as good as Vince's and Nate's. Maybe not better but right up there. Particularly the superman dunk.

Kenny absolutely did take it over the top though. Geeze louis you'd think Dwight bought King Tut back to life or something.

I thought Gerald's birthday cake dunk was f'ing cool too.

Anybody that knows about Darryl Dawkins knows that he makes up rhymes and WORDS to go with the rhymes. Magic + Illustration = Magistration. He's said that before.

They need instant replay. I'm convinced the judges didn't know that he actually blew out the candle because they would have given him a 50 for creativity if they had known that. Or maybe Gerald should have at least told the judges to pay attention to exactly how the candle goes out.

they had instant replay... u can hear the crowd reacting after they saw he really blew the candle out... i thought that dunk was more imaginative than just getting dressed up in a Superman cape & coming up short on a dunk that wasn't even from the freethrow line to start with... the most overrated "dunk" of alltime right there.

I would agree with TMS - the Gerald Green dunk was atleast the secon best dunk of the night. Also didn't he also do the behind the backboard-bounce off the backboard dunk?!

I think Green finally understood that nite- that the whole thing wa rigged for Dwight. He is the future face of the NBA superstars- that make this league marketable.

didn't Andre Iguodala do the same dunk Dwight did, only he banked the ball off the back of the rim, came around to the front & then dunked it? or am i off on that one? i thought his was much more of a difficult dunk than what Dwight threw down cuz he had to have sick hang time & agility to pull that one off... Dwight has long arms & height working in his favor... i agree w/Bip on big guys competing in the dunk contest... just doesn't have the same "wow" factor as watching the medium to smaller guys do it.

Greene didn't really impress me all that much except for the cupcake dunk, & Moon was a washout... Rudy Gay was gay too... that contest wasn't even close to being as good as the past classic battles in past years.
