no, they stopped doing the dunk contest and introduced 2-ball to promote the WNBA.

Possibly the gayest moment in the history of humans.

Almost all listed heights are fake, regardless of extremity. Arturs Irbe is listed as 5' 8". He's 5' 6" on a very good day.

^ regardless, those heights are correct. No one cares about hockey heights, they arent talked about 24/7 like basketball heights.

" You know how you're guaranteed an Oscar if you lose or gain a ton of weight or play a special needs character? Well, if you're short or female, your odds of winning a dunk contest increase exponentially. For instance, Nate Robinson won Saturday's contest even though it took him roughly 75 times to complete two of his dunks. This went well beyond "It's time for the Birdman to fly" territory, or even feel-good "Costner in 'Tin Cup'" territory; Nate's complete disregard for the fans was almost overwhelming. I mean, we were sitting there for like 10 minutes watching him try dunks with a 2.5-percent probability of succeeding. I don't know how it played on TV, but in person? Excruciating. Of course, when Nate ended up winning over the far superior Andre Iguodala, that's when it surpassed the Wilkins-Jordan contest in '87 as the all-time Dunk Contest Travesty That Will Never Be Topped. Nobody even had the energy to boo because Nate had already ruined our collective will to live; we ended up hightailing like people fleeing a murder scene. "

they've had some pretty dope things at all star weekend in the past...like the 1970s past...was watching NBATV one time and they had a 1-on-1 contest where the final was at halftime of an allstar game...I think it was Nate Archibald (small PG) and Elvin Hayes (large PF)...Hayes just backed him down on the post and won like 11-3...but still an interesting idea

another time they had a H-O-R-S-E tournament...saw the finals...George Gervin vs. Pete Maravich...fuckin incredible

Iguodala even went through his legs in the rookie/soph game

Everyone says that UNC puts out the best NBA talent

If it's true, #2 is 'Zona.
