rally, you at least got to admit that that last dunk contest was completely ruined by that redo the all time great dunks wheel they had, I mean they had players that couldn't palm the ball trying to dunk fromt he freethrow line

robinson has 3 inches on spud...spud is still the king of hops

2/18/2006 3:16:08 PM

i would have to argue that Nate Robinson has a higher vertical leap than Spud.

close, but Nate's is ungodly....its one of the highest i have ever seen.

2/18/2006 3:19:26 PM

i keep hearing on espn that this nate robinson cat has a 50 inch vertical...ill watch simply to see how high 50 inches gets you

2/18/2006 3:23:56 PM

well jprince, i didnt actually get to see the dunk contest live last year so i didnt see any of the blown dunks so i cant really comment.

I did however see about 8 amazing dunks on the highlights and thats what i was basing it on...


Id rather see one amazing dunk and 10 shitty ones than 11 average ones though... thats kinda the point of the dunk contest to me... to see something amazing.

im waiting for a flip

Spud was listed at 5'7 and Nate ive always seen as 5'9....

listed heights are often fake, but with extreme cases like those guys i imagine they are accurate.


Spud is definitely amazing... but so is Nate Robinson.

I dont get why Spuds contest win was so historic, but Nate's is barely worth tuning in for?

2/18/2006 4:29:57 PM

I still have that putback dunk he unleashed on us on my hard drive.

When it happened during the game, everyone was completely stunned -- even more-so, since no one knew who washington was.

2/18/2006 4:37:25 PM

that dunk was nasty.

2/18/2006 4:49:32 PM

2/18/2006 5:04:30 PM

2/18/2006 5:13:44 PM

2/18/2006 6:03:20 PM

2/18/2006 10:05:21 PM

nothin gets me more pumped up for the dunk contest than some opera crap.

way to kill the mood


on a side note, david stern was pretty funny earlier in the night talking with chuck, kenny, and magic.

2/18/2006 10:06:25 PM

i'd bet heavy on Warrick not to win, I just dont think he has an creativity

2/18/2006 10:07:04 PM

HOLY SHIT

2/18/2006 10:21:57 PM

there should have been another dunk off.

2/18/2006 10:53:35 PM

what a load of shit that was. gg fans in houston for booing, no way should nate have won that shit. terrible.

still a GREAT show as expected. its a shame 'dre got hosed like that tho.

2/18/2006 10:53:59 PM

the positive thing about Charles Barkley is that he isn't afraid to say what's bs

2/18/2006 10:55:13 PM

^^you and the guys on tv cant do simple math

if the guy had left a 10 up they would have tied again

fucking awesome contest

2/18/2006 10:58:53 PM

that dunk from behind the backboard that iguodala did was all-time! that shit was hotttt

2/18/2006 11:07:59 PM

it was dope, but he barely got it in the basket.

2/18/2006 11:11:33 PM

^ GD he jumped from behind the basket! what does he have to do dunk with his cock?

2/18/2006 11:19:26 PM

seriously, there is no way you can try and downplay that dunk

2/18/2006 11:26:01 PM

not downplayin it or anything, but you gotta outdo your past when you advance
i felt that his dunkoff dunk was a let down from all of his previous dunks


ray allen stomped ass in the 3pt contest in the first round, then he dropped bricked the ball in the final

2/18/2006 11:34:30 PM

anybody have any, or know where i can get, some vids of the dunk competition. i'm trying to explain them to people and it's impossible. thanks.

2/19/2006 12:07:58 AM

has allstar things all over their site

im sure there's something up by now

if not somebody SHOULD reshow it tomorrow...

2/19/2006 12:12:24 AM

That contest was a freakin joke. Warrick got screwed to start with, and Iggy was easily the best dunker on the court. Robinson winning was nothing but a joke! The dude can get up, but was he really a better dunker than A.I.? Hell no.

Iggy's behind the backboard dunk should have won the contest, hands down.

Just one more reason for me to believe that the NBA is nothing special.

BTW, Bethel is one hell of a three point shooter.

Seriously that was the best in-game dunk Ive ever witnessed. I like the little guy.

2/19/2006 1:45:03 AM

Nate deserved it. Why? Because A.I.'s final dunks were all "plain" ones.

He should've saved the behind-the-backboard dunk to compete with the "leaping over Spud" dunk if wanted the win

that stupid fag that was next to last on the right side INTENTIONALLY gave Nate an "8" on a great jam and then A.I. a "10" when it wasn't even QUESTIONABLE that it was a 9 or below.

2/19/2006 1:51:13 AM

booz, I do too... but no way he "out-dunk" Iggy tonight.

2/19/2006 1:52:03 AM

Nate got 12 attempts, give him a break. If he could have done something in the first or second attempt, then yeah, he desrved it. Iggy was the best dunker tonight.

[Edited on February 19, 2006 at 1:53 AM. Reason : e]

2/19/2006 1:52:16 AM

yea so he got 12 attempts....blame that on the rules saying they each had an unlimited number of dunks.

Nate Robs dunks were sicker than iggys in the final round and in the playoff, simple as that.

If the first round was the final round then yea iggy would have won hands down.


Nate Rob is the winner simply cause he dunked over spud webb....

2/19/2006 3:13:53 AM

2/19/2006 10:15:37 AM

This dunk contest was definately one of the best in recent memory
ive been dissapointed in the last few dunks contests cuz of the lack of originality
but this contest had a lot of new dunks plus some of the classics

i liked that between the legs left handed dunk by iguadala
a classic dunk with a little twist

2/19/2006 10:49:20 AM

Robinson took advantage of the rules.

And Andre fucked up by not saving his first round dunk for the finals. His behind the back and between the legs stuff would have gotten him through the first round.

And I'm tired of seeing the between the legs shit anyways. It was played out like 5 years ago. You've got to come up with something different if you're dunking in the final round. It was only special when Nate Robinson did it because the dude is 5'7" (he is not fucking 5'9"...he was eye-to-eye with Spudd).

And as amazing as Andre's behind the backboard dunk was....I'm still debating on whether or not I like Nate's dunk over Spudd better. I think I'm weighing his height in it too much. Although Andre's dunk was just ridiculous because he had to hang and fucking duck his head just so he didn't get whacked by the backboard. Both are evenly ridiculous to me.

2/19/2006 11:24:00 AM

screw the whole, try until you get it part although there was some crazy dunks

2/19/2006 3:14:03 PM

i agree. assuming the person knows they can do a dunk before they try it, you can just assume they'll make the dunk eventually and judge it based on what it looks like they were going to do....save everybody some time.

2/19/2006 3:16:36 PM

the fact that Nate did that dunk in 15 tries is STILL an amazing feat

seriously, think about how many times the average b-ball player would've hadta try something like that

2/19/2006 3:52:11 PM

it was a nice dunk. but the whole event is supposed to have a buzz to it. it sorta kills it when the guy tries the dunk 15 times and by the time he gets it, you already knew what it was going to look like when it worked

2/19/2006 3:53:23 PM

if he had got the through the legs off the backboard dunk on the first try i would have peed all over myself


i think igudala was awesome...until he did the same thing two times in a row

2/19/2006 6:28:05 PM

Well I won $120 so I thought it was a good contest.
