Impressed by the little white dude

 

[DCAllAfrican]

75% of the nba can hit open 3's, but there's a reason deshawn stevenson has never gotten an invite to the 3pt contest...just sayin'

Horrible analogy. Anyone that still bust nuts over 360s must have just started watching basketball.

 

[don ramon]

Joe Johnson shouldn't even be allowed in Louisiana this weekend

3 on 3 would be a cool idea. 1 on 1 would never happened because of egos. I don't think 3 on 3 will ever happen either.

yeah he has no business being in that state this weekend

joe johnson, harrison barnes & reggie jackson should've been deported immediately after setting back all star weekend

 

[HIM]

IMO the best event, for the last couple years, has been the shooting stars challenge. They should move that last.


I wonder if Bron/KD will go at each tonight. Would be refreshing if they did

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea Joe Johnson was shooting slow as hell man. Yall talking about Regiie Jackson LOLOLOL

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Harrison barnes must have convince Adidas or some company like NBA 2K to cut him a check if enter the dunk contest

That's the only way to explain it

KD going to be pulling up from the 9th Ward

wade is gonna try to unnecessarily ball tonight just to hold on to his eroding relevance

Seriously.

He has thrown down some of the illest in-game dunks in the past 2 years though

 

[sea manup]

there is no way they bring in non nba dunkers to the dunk contest

the whole point of allstar weekend is to showcase nba talent, its like a huge three day long advertisement

they want the average fan to be sitting at home, watch john wall or t ross throw down a hyped up dunk and think "wow that was cool, i should watch a raptors/wizards game to check him out"

its not about providing the best possible experience for the fans, its about providing the best possible NBA experience for the fans

 

[DCAllAfrican]

And Kenny Smith kept saying stuff like, "Harrison Barnes would dunk ON somebody with that dunk." No the hell he wouldn't.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

You never had an Grapico charles

 

[sea manup]

they need to stop with the corny dunk intros though, every dunk with an elaborate intro is always a let down

 

[sohoguy]

Anyone wanna wash that horrible dunk contest from their mind. Watch greatness

Some people are just od negative. If a player did a 720 from the free throw line while taking it through the legs twice, certain cats would be in here like "that's nothing, on nba jam cats like Harold miner were doing front flips while dunking, and the ball was on fire. Miner is only 6'1" and that's what i call impressive. If guys in this day and age can't out do a video game from 1994,what's the point of me even watching it?"

That's exactly how some of you couch coaches sound. J Wall did a dunk that's never been done in the nba contest and he did it on the first try, and yall still got something bad to say. I swear, some of yall only act like there's only 2 dunks in life that are worthy of garnering any emotion other than hate. I REALLY want to see some of you on the court.

And please stop with the one on one talk. No way in life will it happen.

[parada45]

[awwsome]

Right on cue.

I just wish that logic would be applied to every walk of life. But folks somehow think it is cool to use when talking about basketball.

i hope Ben Mac gets to come back and compete in the Dunk Contest again when the format isn't a joke and everyone actually gets to attempt more than one real dunk....

His bounce is just insane. The first dunk in this video is
