    Not with the regular trolls hitting this forum..no.

    as for Rudy, he got screwed.
    Nate was good, but I still think Rudy had a better dunk, much better than the 42 or whatever.

    I didn't know the lineup before the dunk contest, but when I saw it I knew the best Rudy could do was come in third. As for Pau blowing the passes, I expected no less from a L*ker.

    Re: Official Rudy Got Screwed Thread

    dwight howard and jr smith both took forEVER to make their dunks too, and got higher scores. there is no way in hell ANYONE can look at jr smiths and rudys second dunks and say that jrs was better.

    nate got a crap score deservedly for his off the back dunk, but still a 41.

    its just the dunk contest so who cares, but i expected a fair fight.

    :lol: You guys are great. Rudy may have deserved an extra couple of points but no way did he deserve to be in the Finals. He was pretty boring.

    I wish Joe Alexander or Russell Westbrook would have gotten in. They understand the showmanship aspect of the contest which Rudy did not.

    Showmanship.

    Capes, phone booths, green gear and fake 12 foot hoops.

    The NBA should get rid of Sprite and have Vince McMahon and the WWE sponsor the dunk contest.

    How was the twelve foot hoop fake? And don't even act like Rudy could have dunked on a rim that high. Nor could he do Dwight's third dunk.

    And the showmanship IS a huge part for the contest. This isn't like the dunk contests of a decade ago. If you want to win, you have to be entertaining and do something people haven't seen before. Whether you like it or not, it's a fact.

    Rudy sucked, let it go. Maybe he deserved to be third, but that's it.

    How is it cool that Dwight dunked on a 12 foot hoop? He's like 7 feet tall. Would have been way cooler back in the day if they would have let Drexler try the same thing (which they wouldn't let him try) because he is like 6 inches shorter than Dwight.

    Showmanship has been made of a part of the dunk contest, which is bullshit. I'd rather see guys who make amazing dunks than guys who jump off his teammates back or a guy going into a phone booth for a superman cape.

    Howard is 7 feet tall fer fuck sake!!! And if you think that was 12 feet high yr nuts.





    Never seen before?

    You mean like put a cape on? Yes, how fresh and exciting. I haven't seen that since all the way back in 2008.

    You mean like throw the ball from behind the hoop let it bounce once and jam it (on the 5th try)? You're right, I've never ever seen a guy bounce the ball off the floor and jam.

    Ever.

    And I've never seen a guy jump off another guys back since.... um... well like everyday in jr high and high school.

    the problem is you're pretending that it was actually fresh and entertaining. You're calling it showmanship.

    But it wasn't. The whole thing was fvcking stupid.

    Because it wasn't 12 feet, it was more like 11.

    Perhaps the lie would quit being repeated if every official site didn't have him listed as a liar.

    nba.com
    espn.com
    orlandomagic.com
    lieopedia.com

    All have him at 6-11.


    I think we're all aware heights and weights are all exaggerated... But to assume the entire world is going to call him 6-9 when every place on the planet lists him as 6-11 is a bit much.

    I've never had the opportunity to measure him myself, so I'm going to have to stick with what I'm told by people who have.
