    I had no idea there was so much hate towards European players until this weekend. It's really showing through.

    Hilarious. Nate jumped off a guy's back and got a better score.

    He's not as explosive as the other dunkers, not even close, but he hung in there. He should have finished 3rd over Smith. The insults by Kenny Smith was classless.

    both JR and Rudy might as well not have shown up.

    Pound-for-pound Nate Robinson might be the best athlete in basketball.

    I thought the judges were pretty generous with Rudy. You can make 20 attempts on the same dunk and expect to do very well.


    The fact that the fans vote on the winner now is retarded, though.

    Rudy sucked. Him and Smith were by far the worst. Taking so many attempts deserves a big deduction.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    And it's not so much coming from the media, as it's coming from the NBA players. I sense animosity towards guys coming in and taking jobs from American-born basketball players, maybe?

    He definitely got screwed, but he deserved it for involving a Laker.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    #1. Rudy's first dunk was much better than a 42.

    #2. Rudys 2nd dunk should have been higher than a 42 since it was arguably the best dunk in the contest and Dwight took a bunch of attempts on his first try (which wasn't cool at all btw) and got an easy 50

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    Yeah, because the bounce and windmill is original, and obviously difficult because so many people can do it, right? I bet Ben Gordon would have owned this competition though... :smiley-whatever:

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    His first dunk should have been at least a 45 imo. His 2nd dunk should have been higher than Nates. We all know the whole league wanted a Nate & Dwight final. Even Dan Majerle had to look at the other scores before he judged just to make sure Nate got in the finals.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    Wow. I think this was overall the worst Dunk Contest ever, at least as far back as I can remember. I'm not sure about previous years, but this one was CLEARLY rigged. You'd think they'd try to hide that just a little, but it's blatantly obvious.

    I also thought both of Rudy's dunks were very nice.
