That text message idea already sunds suspect. Looks like Dwight Howrd is gonna get screwed again. That Moose could be a Liability…

hopefully Michael Jordan, Julius Erving, dominque wilkins, and Vince carter (I can’t remember the other judge) will have their access to the net revoked.

Gay with a two hand-two feet-free throw line take-off, or Howard kissing the back board where he put the sticker last year…

Obviously the answer for the fans ruining the all-Star Game every year is to let them ruin it even more. God, David Stern is a genius.

Jan.22 at 11:21 am

Keith says:
I actually think it’s quite a good idea. There are no asians competing so China can’t ruin it.

Jan.22 at 11:24 am

Kyle Ian says:
So if you get a panel of some of the greatest dunkers ever it’s no good. If you let the fans vote it’s no good. If we let Kenny Smith give out a score it’s not good. Man, why not just scrap the dunk contest? Oh yea, because we’ll get more players running obstacle courses if we do.

Looks like i’ll be DVR’ing this.

Russ Bengtson says:
The dunk contest has been garbage since 2000 anyway, so I guess it doesn’t make a difference. Honestly, who cares who wins? No matter which of those guys ends up winning, will you think they’re the best dunker in the League? Amongst the best FIVE dunkers in the League? No.

Jan.22 at 11:34 am

Keith says:
The ASG has becoming a tired affair. The game itself is the only thing really worth watching. The 3 point shoot out used to be awesome as did the dunk contest, but now…now it’s just tired.

Jan.22 at 11:37 am

Russ Bengtson says:
I was going to suggest they do a throwback All-Star game where it’s JUST the game instead of this whole overblown weekend sh*t, but it’s more likely that the Knicks go on a 41-game winning streak and go undefeated through the playoffs on their way to the title.

Jan.22 at 11:39 am

Russ Bengtson says:
Gerald Green is averaging 4.6 points in 11.9 minutes a game. Even Harold Miner averaged more points and minutes than that.

Jan.22 at 11:42 am

TADOne says:
Ahhh, a Harld Miner reference. Gerald should have went to college.

namik says:
I would say Dwight is one of the 5 best dunkers in the L. But if we’re talking about dunkers who are also superstars then, LeBron seems to scared, Melo and Wade dont have that kind of bounce and Kobe, Vince, Mac and almost any other star are too old. Still don’t get why Gay made it and Nick Young didn’t. A 360 behind the back? A two step off the backboard through the legs in his backyard in a game of HORSE??? Cmon now…

Jan.22 at 11:47 am

Keith says:
Stern shoudl go all ’street’ on us and go get some ballers from the streets and set them amongst the pros in a dunk contest. Two teams. Street Vs Pros.

Jan.22 at 11:47 am

Russ Bengtson says:
Any dunk contest without James White (whether he’s in the L or not) is a traveshamockery.

Jan.22 at 11:49 am

Daniel says:
ahhhh the days when the dunk contest lasted more than 15 minutes. The days when the best of the best put it down for all to see, when there were more than 4 guys in the freaking thing! Damn you Sprite and your rising stars!!!!!! (nothing against any of the contestants) I used to tape every all-star weekend because you never knew when something cool was gonna happen, now i don’t even watch it.

Jan.22 at 11:56 am

Yoeri says:
that’s not a good idea
it’ll probably mean dwight will win because he is the most popular (I guess, checking the All-Star votes) but he’s not the best dunker..
I think Rudy Gay should win, hopefully he has got some electrifying slamdunks in his Saturday Night repetoire

Jan.22 at 11:56 am

WhaHuh says:
Gay put in some beastly dunks this year. Green should become a professional dunker because he isnt that good at basketball

Jan.22 at 12:02 pm

TADOne says:
That HORSE competition isn’t looking so bad now.

Jan.22 at 12:03 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
The skills contest is the best non-game part of All-Star weekend.

Jan.22 at 12:05 pm

Paps says:
Green has limp wristed dunks. His top 10 on NBA.com didn’t impress me. Moon should win it if the fans pick on dunks not popularity.

Jan.22 at 12:09 pm

Keith says:
Damon Jones’ suits are simultaeneously the best and worst parts of All star weekend.

Jan.22 at 12:09 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Are you implying the fans normally make decisions based on popularity, not merit? NO!

Jan.22 at 12:17 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
And f*ck the fans, the dunk contest judges should be Barkley, Shaq, Dikembe, Damon Jones and Brian McNamee.

Jan.22 at 12:18 pm

TADOne says:
Don’t forget Tim Donaghy.

Jan.22 at 12:21 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
He’ll be too busy reffing the main event along with Joey Crawford and the undercover guy.

Jan.22 at 12:22 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
I want Joey Crawford to throw someone out of the All-Star Game in the first quarter. Preferably Kobe or LeBron. Or both!

Jan.22 at 12:32 pm

Paps says:
And Lebron isn’t a top 5 dunker. He has 1 dunk and it’s not nearly as nice as Spree’s 1 dunk.

Jan.22 at 12:33 pm

TADOne says:
It would certainly make it memorable.

Jan.22 at 1:03 pm

Jared says:
Russ I agree strongly on your flight white comment, especially the traveshamockery part.

Mike C says:
Why isn’t Vince doing it???
That’s the only way he can salvage his career..

Jan.22 at 1:55 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
I’d be way more interested if Kevin Durant and the aformentioned Nick Young were in it. Also, does Mike Conley have anywhere near his dad’s hops?

Jan.22 at 2:13 pm

the worst part of thr ASG are the game intros

Jan.22 at 2:13 pm

RV says:
they should allow more participants and shorten their attempts

Jan.22 at 2:15 pm

so if the fans determine who wins, yao ming better not be in the contest

Jan.22 at 2:41 pm

Ill WIll says:
Jamario Moon for the win!

Jan.22 at 2:51 pm

Walter Olivera says:
first the people vote in t-mac to the all-star game , now you are letting them decide the dunk champion. come ON DO NOT BE STUPID, WHO EVER THOUGHT OF THIS IS AN IDIOT WHO GETS BY THE NBA, THEN THE NBA IS THE BIGGEST IDIOT.
NO MORE CHANGES.gerald wins again, fo sho

drogo says:
the best contest dunkers on the planet are not in the nba right now. problably they were in 86 and 2000. but chances are that a kid (there are thosusands od them) on the street could do fancier stuff that nba players (a few hundreds), who anyway are not focused on dunking tricks so much. but the nba dunk contest has something no other contest has. an amazing media exposure. so I don’t understand why david stern wouldn’t call guys like james white, guy dupuy, 720, tdub, elevator…….. who are well known for doing dunks that could esaily win the nba contest. I’m not so sure about the NBA vs STREET thing, as I don’t think stern would like to see his players lose this contest. But give this street kids 2000 dollars each, call them on Friday night before the rookie game and let them dunk in a jam session. No judges, no rules. Just the dunkers and the rim. I’m pretty sure the rookie game won’t take place anymore. I think David Stern needs someone to kidnap him and force him to listen to hip hop. Maybe he’ll forget about the globalisation, marketing schemes, nba china. And the amazing would really happen.

Jan.22 at 7:24 pm

Kadavour says:
Don’t be stupid. Vince, Kobe, and TMac no longer have the legs to compete with the new breed of dunkers. They need to scrap this fan thing, and expand the field of dunkers. Nick Young REALLY needs to get a chance to show his stuff.

Jan.22 at 7:47 pm

John E. Sanford says:
Don’t sleep on Rudy Gay.

Ben Payne says:
wut ever happened to dunk contests with more than four dunks to win? bring back the ones with like 8 dunkers and they actually need a lot of good dunks to even advance

Jan.22 at 10:33 pm

Michael says:
Rudy and Moon on mine for finals.
