    I'm sure Wilson Chandlers massive love handles engulfed Nate's foot and made it much more difficult. Take off your rose colored glasses, Nate's dunks weren't that great.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    I'll add my two cents I guess. Overall, the dunk contest has gotten lame again. Just four dunkers and two rounds? We need a little more than that NBA for the most anticipated event of the night.

    Loved Rudy's second dunk. It was pretty sick, and no way he should've gotten fourth. He was robbed. I don't know if he should've been in the finals, but he wasn't the worst out of the four.

    In any case, I would've loved to see what Rudy had planned if he made the finals. Maybe he can give us a little something back home of what he would've done.

    His second dunk was nice, but lets say Nate got a 35, JR would of went through. I think the judges expected more from Rudy, and it's a bit iffy all the scores. However, the final was good. Nate over Dwight is crazy. The best dunker won.

    I knew it was over when Chambers only gave Rudy an 8 for his off-the-backboard Gasol dunk, then followed that by giving Robinson a 9 on the stepping-over-Chandler dunk.

    That New Mexico article is horribly whiney. The TNT announcers weren't disrespecting Fernando Martin. They just had no idea who a scrub who averaged 0.9 points in 24 NBA games.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    That's besides the point (his scoring average). He was the first Spanish born player to ever play in the NBA, and one of the first foreign born players to play in the NBA (that didn't go to college in the US).

    And I think considering they pulled the "LaRue Martin" and "Martin Lawrence" and "Gina" references, and then added "Ricky Martin" comments (all done to make fun of the jersey), it was disrespectful. The ONLY guy who showed any class was Kevin Harlan.

    Reggie Miller showed why he's a joke of an announcer, and Kenny Smith both showed why he doesn't do games and that he depends on someone basically calling him out for his stupidity (which would be Charles Barkley).

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    Way to show some respect dude for a guy who tragically died in a car crash and was considered one of the top Euro players back in the day, and is a hall of famer in FIBA.
    I don't see you suiting up in the NBA. It was obvious lack of research for the TNT announcers except Kevin Harlan since the production crew had the Fernando Martin graphic set up while the dunk took place.

    Rudy deserved better scores, but oh well, its only the dunk contest. I'm over it.

    There was some good news imo, LeBron James in next years competition. This alone could bring out the best dunkers to show their stuff against him. Has the potential to be a good one.

    Rudy's dunks were not better than Nate's dunks. Sorry. Because Rudy doesn't wear my team's jersey and I don't have a massive love affair towards him, I think that makes my opinion slightly more valid than yours, homer.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    Subjective.

    Nate's first dunk was better than Rudy's first dunk, but Nate's second dunk was lame. Extremely lame. It took Rudy forever to complete his dunk, but at least it is arguably the best dunk of the night. Rudy's first dunk is better than Nate's second imo, just on account of how freaking lame Nate's was.

    I really don't care Rudy didn't get win, I'm just glad he didn't embarrass himself badly like I thought he was going to do.

    This is true. But you do have a massive love affair with trolling the Blazers board, and that is what makes your opinion slightly less valid than anybody else's in here.
