lmao @ Josh Smith...he's crosseyed I would of turned off my TV if he made the dunk from the tape...but he didn't even attempt it. Iguodala did get robbed...Nate was sick but there shouldn't have been a dunk off to begin with. Kenny was waiting for the other judges decision so he could put up the number to force a dunk off...I was pulling for a dunk-off though. Iguodala's last dunk was definitely above a 47, and for sure better than Nate's (considering that he took 14? attempts to complete it). Nate's last dunk was sick still.
At the end, people were just cheering for him to get that stuff done. But he ruined the excitement around it, but going up like 20 times. Royal Ivey had to duck for Josh Smith to dunk over him?

In a way, though, I feel bad for Nate. He's going to take a lot of heat for this in the future, and Iggy will always be revered as the true winner of the '06 dunk contest.
Iguodala tried the same dunk like 4 times just spinning diffrent ways, although the AI off the backboard thing was sick. Nate is amazing he jumps mad high for 5' 7". Nate > Iguodala
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BigMo763:</div><div class="quote_post">They had a limit before... two "attempts" (ball hits rim), and you lose your turn. They took that out this year... I wonder why.</div> LMAO, I don't know why I haven't realized that til now. Makes perfect sense to me. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chutney:</div><div class="quote_post">They checked their cards twice mann. Kenny was waiting for everyone else to make sure it went to a tiebreaker. Then Tomjanovich pulled some stupid shitt at the end. He waited so long to change it., it was too obvious.</div> Yea I noticed the Kenny thing, but forgot all about it after I saw Tomjanovich rob Iggy. I wasn't pissed off at Kenny though, (even though that dunk by IGGY was more than an 8) I was excited that he sent the whole thing into overtime! Was it 10-8 or 10-9? Anyone here have TiVo? I had it, but we switched to regular cable I miss NBATV.
And he should win just because he's 5'7? This was over before it started, they all wanted Nate to win it and try to hype it up as another coming of Spud Webb. If Iguodala would have put on a Dr J Jersey and just did a windmill or something he would have won.

Doesn't it piss you guys off how players never seem to have backups any more? if you watch old tapes of contests from the 80's if a guy missed he'd try a different dunk. guys now just keep repeating them. Still nate over spudd was sick, should have ended there. iggy's was the best dunk fot eh night though.
Not take into account all the missed dunks, I thought Nate's final round dunks were far more impressive than Iguodala's. I mean, Andre basically rehashed dunks that J.R. Smith and Jason Richardson did in the past. Impressive, sure, but low on creativity. The one off the back of the backboard was insane, though. I do think they should tweak the rules so that after maybe the first three tries, you get penalized for missing them. The reason they took away that restriction was so that players would try crazier dunks, which has happened. But giving players 10 attempts to complete a dunk is ridiculous.
And the worst part was when they showed Iggy and AI celebrating afterwords and then looking up to see that Nate won, and everyone like Kobe and them are looking puzzled, and AI starts saying he got robbed.
Yeah i deffinatley have to say that they should have kept the 2 attempt rule. Cause after like 20 tries it doesnt seem as good of a dunk
Yeah so it would have been OK if Iggy just sat there for an hour to come up with another dunk, and we would have waited until he made it for it to count? Sooooooo stupid.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting inswinger:</div><div class="quote_post">I thought it was ova wen nate got 44.</div> It should have been... but then Kenny had to do his thing. And Nate's last dunk wasn't anything special. He threw it off the backboard, and did a half windmill (not even half)... after 14 tries.
wow, a guy won a dunk contest?chill out, , huskie pride. lol, i bet you guys are going to be mad when Washington wins the NCAA title too .
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting j0se:</div><div class="quote_post">Kadour Ziani is the best dunker in the world http://thatvideosite.com/view/950.html</div> OMFG That guy is the best dunker in the world. 2 questions: 1) Are the rims 10 feet over there? Wherever it is. 2) Is the Free throw line 15 feet away from the rim? If so then DAMN that guy looks like a more athletic version of Ginobli (which says a lot). ------------------------------ On Josh Smith, when I saw that tape I was shocked...WTF IS THE EXPLANATION THERE? Is he cross-eyed, was it their to measure something, or is he just a "cock-tease". ------------------------------- Warrik was underrated. He deserved more than an 80 something for his final score. He came out as the first guy and got the whole thing started perfectly. All he needed was one attempt and he did a bad ass dunk. it was at least a 44-45 imo. 1 extra point for going first and getting it done well on the first try.
