    iirc, the last time the ASG was in Houston, the judges sucked shit too.

    btw, Blake Griffin really needs to learn how to whisper.

    Cause LeBron has done dunks better than any of these in layup lines before games.

    Not really. the dunks he's done are dunks that have been done.

    So are the ones in the contest.. Three of the dunks from this contest I had seen before from LeBron in warmups. LeBron would be much more likely to do something new or more impressive. Just like how Jordan and Wilkins were.

    I just got a call from my dad, who was bitching about the event. I kept having to remind him it's not geared towards 70 something year old men, who seem to think that the 1980's were the best era for NBA basketball and the Memorial Coliseum was the best arena.

    Barkley got cut off because David Stern didn't like what he was saying about the NBA and Dunk Contest.

    I was thinking the same thing. Remember when everyone was laughing at Chris Andersen a few years back for having all of those attempts?

    Decent night overall. Highlight of it was of course Lillard winning the skills competition. Hope to see him defend it next year and maybe even get invited to the 3 point contest too.

    I think people confuse powerful and jumping high with being creative.

    while it would be cool, I hope he makes the all star team next year.

    Yeah, but with guards like Paul, Westbrook, Parker, etc it seems not likely unless he elevates his game to a whole other level.
