to the slam dunk contest..... or not

The other thread was lame, and it didnt have this article

Quote :

"Two nights before the actual dunk contest -- and assuming you can still have an actual controversy in what sadly ranks as the faded jewel of All-Star Weekend -- I'm told that Dwight Howard is rather steamed. Reason being: Howard's request to have the basket raised on a couple dunks he had planned for Saturday evening has been denied by the league. Orlando sources report that Howard has been practicing a couple wicked maneuvers that might inject this dying competition with the ingenuity/originality it desperately needs. One is a 360 throwdown with the rim hiked to 12 feet, two feet higher than regulation. The other sets the rim at 11 ½ feet and has Howard purportedly going between his legs with the ball in mid-air before flushing. "

what is the problem with this? its a great idea i think

i mean this Dunk contest has been dead, it was ok last year but Nate Robinson won because he is short, Andrea Igoudala should have won it hands down...

i mean look at the dunkers (Nate Robinson, Gerald Green, Dwight Howard and Tyrus Thomas)

im excited about Howard and i know Thomas can fly, but what else can Nate do? Plus 12ft 360 dunk? thats fucking nuts

ATTN: LeBron, grow a fucking set of nuts and enter a god damn dunk contest, this is for the fans

^AHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Raise one of the goals. Have one at 10' and another adjustable goal. Great idea Dwight.

Dwight Howard is awesome. The NBA sucks for not letting him try this.

2/16/2007 3:57:07 PM

howard is a beast

they should let him try it, why the hell not

the contest has become a joke anyways

2/16/2007 3:58:47 PM

I think Gerald Green will win pretty easily.


Thomas has no chance after his remarks.

Little man isnt gonna have the crowd feeling him since he's proven to be a freak and he pissed everyone off last year.


Dwight Howards too big... big dunkers just dont have the finesse they need.


Green is just too nasty. That dunk he threw down in the summer league two years ago was amazing

If the NBA let him do it then ppl would stop voting for the people who dunk on 10' goals and the dunks would all be about height and power and less about making them flashy. Basically you'd have to be 6'6 to join the dunk contest. The greatest dunker of all time was 5'11 but he didnt play in the NBA, still there are some little guys worth watching dunking

Trust me he was never going to do a 360 on a 12 ft goal probably just some kind of power dunk.

I'm sure he can think of something creative to do on a 10 ft goal I mean kiss the rim or something.

you must have never seen dwight howard before

2/16/2007 4:05:39 PM

im sorry but the best dunker ever DID play in the NBA and still does



Dwight Howard has the finesse, he will win this and the NBA should let him raise the rim

if i was him, after this whole shit, id try to break the backboard

2/16/2007 4:08:50 PM

Hunter, I'm for it. Yet, I think Gerald Green is going to win.

who are you talking about, Earl Manigut? or that dud from Oakland who jumps over cars?

2/16/2007 4:24:42 PM

doesnt matter, its Vince Carter

soon to be Charlotte Bobcat Vince Carter

2/16/2007 4:26:06 PM

Kadour Ziani = the best dunker of all time. He didn't play basketball. Followed by Air Up There from And 1. Vince is the greatest NBA dunker in history

I'd say James White

and dudes only like 20



if you just want to see his best shit go to the part of the video where the time remaining is about 00:47

[Edited on February 16, 2007 at 4:35 PM. Reason : .]

No but I know he can't do a 360 on 12' goal. Only two ppl have ever even dunked on a 12 ft. goal period I really doubt he is that much better than the second highest.

I'm a huge UNC fan but I'm not for Vince on the Bobcats. He's good but he will be very overpaid by whoever signs him. He doesn't play hard most of the time and a lot of the time he doesn't play at all. Bernie needs to find a coach. The Bobcats need to be patient, keep large cap space to keep their core together maybe find some cheap decent SG like Rasual Butler. Bobcats are going to be a terror in 3 years.

no one will ever break a backboard again.

2/16/2007 4:51:33 PM

the thing is, the Bobcats have to do something BIG this year after the season

they have got to get some asses in seats

and Vince is going to be out there, and he is a damn baller, and we have lots of money to spend along with getting 2 more draft picks

also, i wouldnt start my posting career by saying you are a huge unc fan

^ and yes i know, but wouldnt it be more impressive if they did it now?

[Edited on February 16, 2007 at 4:53 PM. Reason : huh?]

2/16/2007 4:52:15 PM

^^somebody wont break the glass again but somebody could still probably pull the goal down

maybe if shaq tried really really hard

or that fat fuck Michael Sweetney lol
