I thought that was pretty pathetic, and MJ is an awful judge. Howards sticker dunk was awesome, and much better than Nate's 2nd dunk imo.
The only dunks I liked were:1. Dwight Howard sticker dunk2. Gerald Green side of backboard3. Green jump over nate dunk. kinda disappointing - I think last years was better.
F*ck. the only dunk I missed is the only good one: the sticker dunk.Someone should have a teammate throw it from the upper deck(2nd level) down and then slam it.

Nobody 5 years from now will remember, "Oh yeah, he was the guy who did that dunk in 2007". There were no jaw-dropping dunks.</div> I agree, Nate was the usual, 10 attempts to get 1 dunk. I believe Dwight should have been in the finals, that sticker dunk was crazy! come on 12'6", Michael Jordan is just on crack today. Dwight had more up his sleeve and could have taken it real easy. There wasnt that much competiton. J Rich and Josh Smith need to get back in this contest.

Pathetic.</div>I agree, that dunk by Gerald Green where he used Paul Pierce was also impressive along with Dwight's sticker dunk but nothing else stood out.

Gerald Green has a better dunkbut honestly Nate Robinson got like a 38...should he really have wasted it now?He needs to defend next yearHe just did something good enough to put him over the top..but it wasnt a 50 haha
Dwight touched 12.6 feet. Thats high. Congrats to GG for winning. He was very creative and the NATE STATUE WAS LOL.

And if his HS dunk contest is any indication, he wouldn't be too great.
Bron couldn't've been in it this year. The league has a rule that you can only be in it if you're a rookie, soph, or junior. AKA: The league is GAY.

This dunk contest was decent at best...The only dunks I liked were the Side of Backboar Green dunk, the Brown throwback dunk, Nate's first dunk because of where he caught it, and of course the sticker dunk.

Howard got robbed and it led to seeing Nate Robinson's debacle in the Finals. He was obviously winging it at the end, while Howard seemed like he had some creative ideas. The sticker dunk got rated lower than his first dunk. What gives judges?

Ah, All well.Well, his HS dunk contest was just, well, High School. He has done better dunks in games in the NBA.

He has some nice posterizations but nothing flashy.
:no1: Average at best dunk contest. Maybe now the NBA will realize the dunk contest isn't for big men. I wish Rudy Gay would have participated instead and actually make this thing a COMPETITION.
