That was hilariousApparently Steph isn’t black - thanks for that awkward moment Shaq.

Yeah, the first dunk that Bridges couldn't quite finish was a really impressive variation of between-the-legs.This has been one of the better dunk contests of last 10-12 years. Low bar. But entertaining nonetheless...
No, no you are not.Am I the only one that has literally no idea who Jay Cole is, or why his high school jersey is important?
Did he use Shaq to launch a little?That dunk by Diallo is an all-timer.
Yeah--I sort of like that, actually, adds some dynamism.Did he use Shaq to launch a little?
Regardless, I can't believe how high he can jumpYeah--I sort of like that, actually, adds some dynamism.
He’s legitimately terrified.I hope DWade gets kicked in the face.
Thanks, really enjoyed that. Insane to look at what Gordon did and realize he lost. Nothing tonight would have belonged in the same gym with those two...The Aaron Gordon/Zach Lavine dunk off was the best in recent memory. Not even close.
Edit: For those that missed it, or don't remember, watch this:
I seem to remember a dunk competition of some sort in the 70s involving one Dale Schleuter that fits the bill.Has any dunk contest judge ever given a score lower than a 7? If so, how bad must that dunk have been?
The guy that "ate a shooter" was the best of the 4. Good month for Wolverines.old guys went 6/25 I think, that went about as well as planned as when they staged that half court shootout a couple years ago for Steph and then he bricked every shot
I hope DWade gets kicked in the face.
I like the dunk contest but I am all in if they turn this into a Wade kicking contest going forward. Rondo would be my first contestant.Please kick Wade in the head
AhemHas any dunk contest judge ever given a score lower than a 7? If so, how bad must that dunk have been?
Were you the guy that posted in the Patriots/Falcons Super Bowl thread that they only had that awesome comeback because they were down 28-3?To be fair, Tatum had to take the high-difficulty half-court shot because he was way behind in the earlier part.
Lol. My point was that the earlier parts of the contest DID matter, since they forced Tatum into a higher risk shot than he'd otherwise have taken.Were you the guy that posted in the Patriots/Falcons Super Bowl thread that they only had that awesome comeback because they were down 28-3?
Gordon and LaVine will never be in a dunk contest again. That's kinda why the dunk contest sucks.zion, lavine, gordon, diallo next year please, and give them 3 dunks each round with only the top 2 counting so they can go all out and not have to play it safe
I think that the jersey was just a nod of respect. Since Cole tried to dunk in street clothes without warming up and almost did, it's fair to assume that he played at some point in his life.No, no you are not.
It's basically good guys v. bad guys, right? The five A-list superstar dicks/mercenaries (LeBron, KD, Harden, Kawhi, Kyrie) v. four guys still on the teams that drafted them (Giannis, Steph, Kemba, Embiid) plus PG13, who's uber-beloved for sticking with his small market team when everyone thought he was 100% gone to La-La Land.Let's go TeamNOTLEBRONGiannis
Embiid is a bad guy but yeah, your point is well-made.It's basically good guys v. bad guys, right? The five A-list superstar dicks/mercenaries (LeBron, KD, Harden, Kawhi, Kyrie) v. four guys still on the teams that drafted them (Giannis, Steph, Kemba, Embiid) plus PG13, who's uber-beloved for sticking with his small market team when everyone thought he was 100% gone to La-La Land.
Even the two throwback players (Dirk v. Wade) are kinda good guy v. villain. All they needed to do to complete the theme was get Klay and Lillard on the good team in exchange for Blake Griffin.
