NBA All-Star Dunk Comp (spoiler)

Thought this deserved its own topic but a few people have already commented in another thread. I've tacked "spoiler" on just in case people have taped it to review later.

IMO they need a field of eight dunkers, and then four finalists. Two to three attempts at each dunk, rather than having to watch Nate try the same thing 10 times. I'd rather see more variety and participants than what we saw this time.

Anyone hear that Howard requested that the ring be set to 12' and it was denied? I liked the sticker dunk - at least it was a bit inventive.

Yeo Dwight for mine was not rewarded by the judges.

All the other dunks you could put in the "seen it before" catergory. They are all variations of stuff that has been done.

Dwight with the sticker has not been done before and so deserved better scores than what it got. Even bouns points for having a sticker with him on it, the measuring tape it was all good.

Dwight wanted to put the ring to 12' for one dunk and 11'5, heard he was going to be doing a 360 on the 11'5 dunk.

Agreed Isaac, bigger field with more dunks could make it a lot more interesting.

As I said in the other thread, have been extremely disappointed with the Weekend so far.

No doubt the sticker dunk was the best most innovative and funniest and not rewarded. The dunk over NAte Robinson was pretty good also.

I will watch today's game, as I have done the previous days, but the thing is that every year, bar the Jordan comeback games, I find the All-Star game to be such an anti-climax. Players just dont care now like they did in the 90's and before.

Perhaps an end of season event with high stakes money on offer to the winning team ala what the NFL offers players in the Pro Bowl would entice some competitive spirit. Imagine if the East and West went at it like the old days of AFL State of Origin Footy.

I also heard that Dwight wanted to do a windmill where he kisses the ring.

Think they said that Stern said it was too dangerous.

I love Howard's sticker dunk. Deserved a 10 for sure.
