    I don't get how Smiths lame ass dunk was any better than Rudy's... stupid.

    I loved how Kenny Smith panned Rudy's first dunk as "Rex Chapman did that, and he did it better", but they didn't say a word when JR Smith did the "Freddy Jones" drunk.

    They mentioned it, but they certainly didn't bash it.

    All this was set up. I hate what I saw tonight. Rudy wasn't rated fairly.

    I agree Rudy (and everyone, really) got robbed since Dwight got a 50 on that first attempt.

    I wasn't feeling Nate too much. The off the back thing from Chandler was extremely weak. I have no idea what he was thinking. Smith was even worse.

    It's either the contest was rigged, or the judges took off points for the time expiration. Other guys took a lot of time, but Rudy was down to his second to last attempt.

    Doesn't really matter though. The contest left a lot to be desired.

    I'm glad I was incredibly wrong. Rudy did not embarrass himself whatsoever.

    I love being wrong. Rudy....you made me proud.

    NBA....you make me sick.

    still doubtful. The NBA seemed to already have penciled in their finalists for this competition ahead of time

    Yeah, probably, but it doesn't seem to affect any other participants when they take multiple attempts to pull off a dunk.

    deducting points due to multiple trieS???

    how about not deducting points for his perseverance not to switch to an easier dunk with 2 attemtps left and under pressure.

    he freaking made dwight howards similar dunk last year which scored perfect. only rudy reversed it, had to catch it off someone's pass, and is half a foot shorter.

    praises to rudy!!! boos to the judges
