    I bet the D-League dunk contest was better. It had James White and Sonny Weems.

    That shouldn't make a difference when they score his dunk that he ended up making. I agree it probably did affect the score but I thought he also got screwed on his first dunk. I'm not saying Rudy should have won but having the two lowest scores when both his dunks were better then most of all other dunks is a terrible thing for the NBA.

    Yes it should.


    The NBA's actually too lenient with this. Each guy should get 4 attempts, tops, on any given dunk. If they aren't skilled enough to pull it off in that time frame, well, too bad.

    lol

    I think there should be more then 4 guys. Especially next year since Nate and "apparently" LeBron will be in it.

    Actually Rudy made his first dunk on the first attempt, try again.

    I don't even remember his first dunk, so it must have been pretty fantastic.

    That was Howard... who was given a 50. Rudy made his first dunk on the first attempt.
