Dunk Contest Judges

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I'm watching ESPN right now and some lady announced that Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Michael Jordan, Julius Erving and Dominique Wilkins will judge the contest. Is that true? I mean, I believe her, but I don't think anyone here would believe that until it's all said and done. I mean, those are the top 5 dunkers of all-time judging the 2007 dunk contest. Insane.</span>

 

That's weird they usually have analysts and former players judging contests not current players.

 

I think this is kind of a bad idea because they might judge with kind of a "I could of done that easily" attitude

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I'm praying that this dunk contest will not be garbage because with those guys judging, you'd expect the contest itself to be dope, too.</span>

I think that is sweet! They know this contest isnt about them and I think they will be great judges who know all the techniques of dunking

 

Wow that is pretty unusual that kobe and vince are judging since they are current players. I don't think a player has ever judged the dunk contest while still playing in the NBA at that time, but I am not sure.

 

they should get all bulls players to judge.. I wonder who will win then :nasty:

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I honestly hope this dunk contest will be good.</span>

 

Well, this dunk contest is going to suck more than last years considering the only guy in it I actually want to see is Gerald Green. Hopefully these judges don't F*ck it up like they did last year.

 

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I'm going with Gerald Green in this one. He's too impressive to ignore.</span>

Umm... 2002 or was it 2003? I don't remember correctly.</span>

 

This is awesome. I hope that it is more deserving to whoever wins this year unlike last year.

 

I think it will be1. Gerald Green2. Tyrus Thomas (sleeper!)3. Nate Robinson (last years josh smith)4. Dwight Howard (big like amare, dont think he cant dunk like him yet though)

 

How did they get MJ to do it?Wow!Green will win it now that I see the judges. Kenny the jet Smith was a joke (literally) last year as a judge

 

I think it will be1. Gerald Green2. Dwight Howard3. Nate Robinson4. Tyrus Thomas

 

Well, I know that Kobe likes Gerald Green, so maybe that could help him a bit! But this is pretty sick, and surprising. I would have never expected that they'd have two current players doing this. Man, I can't wait for All-Star weekend.

 

The judges were a big surprise, especially Jordan. It would be sweet if all the judges at their prime were in a dunk contest :biggrin:.

 

If that is true, it is a bad idea. The players might be biased or something. They just need some judges that will not take favourites, and call it the correct way.
