Chris Andersen in the Dunk Contest

At least 2 Nuggets are getting recognized during All Star weekend. I have not seen many Nugget games this year is he a good dunker?

 

He's got major hops believe me. He isn't called the Birdman for nothing. But let's face it. He's 6'10. He has to pull off something creative to be noticed.

 

^ yea no doubt. he has to be one of the taller players to be in the dunk contest.

 

Andersen has got great dunks. Might give J-Rich a run for his money.

 

yea but LeBron will get him out in the 1st round

Yea...I seen this guy do some rather disturbing dunks at his height lol....He is athletic as hell...and did you know he officially almost has 40" Hops?..That is mad foe a 6-10 center..Peace

 

This may seem random but wasnt he in the NBDL? If he was this is a great step forward for there league.

 

he did very well in the dunk contest...he was robbed in the first round, cuz i thought it was a lot better than Jones' first round dunk...but he had a nice showing and even more athleticism than I imagined for a guy his size...

 

Yeah Andersen was CLEARLY robbed. I mean come on, Fred Jones missed dunk got some of the same scores as Andersen's. That is just plain pathetic. It should have been a JRich Vs Andersen FINAL.

 

Agreed.. That was a crazy dunk.. just as crazy as his hair.. He better be back next year... I am sure he'll own it...

 

Chris Andersen deserved to be in the finals, its really sad to see that jones mad it, hes too short and his dunks were pretty much all oops to himself, all he can do when hes that short i gues. Anyways Andersen is second in my mind.

I agree that Anderson was robbed and should've deserved some more respect, but he was NOT better than Jones...Jones had two completely sick 50 dunks...he definitely deserved to win and has absurd athleticism...

 

No way were Jones's dunks worth 50

 

I was impressed, but I would take Fred Jones' dunks over Anderson's. I believe a lot of people thought he was robbed, because they were simply shocked. They saw this 6-10 white guy who looked like a punk rocker on crack and assumed he'd be some stiff. When they saw his athleticism it created the illusion that his dunk was greater than it was. I'd give half his score's credit to shock factor. Although he wasn't "robbed", a 42 was a little low. I would have given him a 46. However, his second dunk was something Andre Miller could do. Fred Jones' dunks were given such good scores because of his vertical leap and length. On his first dunk, he could have easily slipped his arm in the net like Vince Carter. Anderson only jumped twenty-five to thirty inches for his dunk. His were also from close in as well. As for Anderson playing in the NBDL, I think he may have, because I'm positive he's hooped around in the minor leagues. Not too long ago he played ball in China.

Yeah, Andersen played in the NBDL, he was the NBDL #1 pick

 

Andersons head was easily above the rim on a couple of his dunks he did get robbed imo

You're wrong. Check NBA.Com for photo's. Anderson is 6-10, and his head came under the rim. Jones is 6-2, and his head went just over the rim.

 

Jone's head was NEVER over the rim, please re-check your sources

Check NBA.Com, photo #5. I taped the dunk contest and his forehead comes right to the rim. Anyway, you're completely missing my point, as usual. Anderson is 6-10 and didn't go as high up as 6-2 Fred Jones. You're being pretty ignorant. I bet if Fred Jones did his dunks in Anderson's boddy then you wouldn't be complaining.
