Actually truth be told, I'd rather them let some And1 guys like The Air Up There or 50 or Main come do a dunk showcase...

Next year they really need more...something. Personality, effort, crowd involvement.

Shaq offered all three a million out of his pocket to the charity of their choice if all three would go at it, Lebron was the only one who was down and wouldn't do it on the basis the other two didn't. Least that was the rumor I was hearing ages ago. |

I hate Skip to My Lou in the NBA, but they need to get him out there or something.

They told them no props this year? I mean, I agree but that still messes with the creativity.

I believe the dunk contest started to lose its specialness once they started to hype storylines and not on the dunks themselves. Last year was horrible just from the commentators alone who either made fun of a few dunkers or kept talking about Nate-Dwight/Lebron. |

Someone should have dunked over one of the cheerleaders.

At least guys like Air Up There can do something like a 720. They don't belong in the league, but if we're going to have a dunk contest at least give us something to talk about. Even if it's not NBA players. |

dunking over people is so passe. Someone needs to bring back the failed Michael Finley cartwheel from 1997.

And yes, I know the reaction of the players is very annoying.

Truth be told, Nash should have won that dunk contest without even having dunked.

I like how the announcers are saying the "Dunk Contest is back" when a few years later they go back to saying it needs help and how before 2005 they said it was getting stale/boring.

Kind of disappointed with Shannon Brown's effort in the dunk contest.

Nate
But yeah overall the dunks were pretty weak. Contest isn't going away though. Nate should be back again next year to try and make it 3 in a row and 4 overall...but besides him I think they should try and get more "sexy" names in there. I dunno, I don't follow NBA much so I had no idea about any of the other guys in there except Nate. |

Shannon could have done much more. Dude has ups and can palm the ball easily...i was looking for a 'rock the cradle' or something similar to show the control of the ball. I dunno what he was thinking. Weak contest.

The Mavericks have reached a tentative agreement to send Howard, Drew Gooden and two other players to Washington for swingman Caron Butler, center Brendan Haywood and guard DeShawn Stevenson, numerous NBA sources said Friday.

the best part of the dunk contest was definitely the announcers mocking everyone's dunks
