yea.... pretty horrible.

i have been saying they need to get some big time sponsors and put up like 1 or 2 million dollar prize for the winner and get like lebron, kobe, carter types out there.

Nate is just on another planet.

This is so much better than the crap we had to suffer through in the 80's

Horrible. The last couple years have been pretty bad. Nothing against Nate Robinson but it's a shame he will be a 3 time winner. His competition has been truly terrible. In many other slam dunk fields Nate wouldn't be a factor. They need to get Lebron in this thing. Some of these guys have abosolutely nothing.

I don't think we will see someone like james, bryant and wade because they don't want to mess their image up if they lose.

i find it funny that the worst dunk contest ever landed on mark cuban's weekend to shine.

Shannon Brown either has stage fright or is just that dumb with his lack of creativity. His teammates put in more effort to hype him up than the actual dunks.

Gerald Wallace looked like he didn't even want to be there. I'm surprised he didn't injure himself.

The rookie did ok, but that last dunk was lame and he deserved the loss.

All of them sucked, but Nate had some nice vertical on 2 of his dunks. I still remember the days where they penalized you for even missing one attempt, this two-minute rule is pretty shitty.

Agreed with everyone else. Gerald Wallace was a flatout disgrace, Shannon Brown a huge disappointment. Nate only one with consistent decent dunks, and he wasn't even that great.
