Seriously, I love the slam dunk competition, how sick was that and DHoward's?
clif notes for those who are teh gay and don't watch this shit:
Gerald Green places a cupcake with a lit candle on the back of the rim, takes a bounce pass, dunks and simultaneously blows the fucking candle out
The dunk competition has evolved so much in the past 20 years. Remember when Kobe did the first between the legs dunk and everyone was like omg. Now it's nothing.
This just in black men jump high.
fuck i missed the dunk comp and most of all star weekend. guess the game is tomorrow night?
yea, game tomorrow
Kapono won 3pt
Deron Williams smoked the guard competition
My Spurs won the team thing
DHoward did 4 insane dunks to beat cupcake boy
howards last dunk was the best. the superman one he just threw it into the rim... it looked cool but how did that count?
I saw the whole thing and was really disappointed with Moon's failed pre-free-throw line attempts.
Howard was so sick and entertaining. Candle was awesome. Didn't see Kapono win it for the raps! damn it.... youtube please have it....
pretty good all star saturday night overall.
lol you young whipper snapper. Isaiah Rider was the person that made the between the legs dunk famous in 1994, but some dude in like the mid 80's was the first to ever do it. Lol at Kobe being the first though.Quote:

Seriosuly yo!!
HE BLEW THE CANDLE OUT!!
was that Kenny who just kept repeating that, I couldn't stop laughing, Barkley was stunned when the replay was shown, awesome dunk, hilarious moment.
yea but I mean, damn, dude just got way up there.Quote:

Either way, it's awesome watching a 7 footer fly like that.
Interesting replay on youtube of him practicing. His buddy tells him to hang from the rim after one of the dunks and he shows him why he doesn't, his feet almost touch the floor.
WOW Pretty cool.

Candle was very creative. The dunk itself was gay, but the creativity boosted it a bunch. The superman one was just amazing, and it was still technically a dunk since the definition of a dunk is just "to force the ball through the hoop from above" so the haters can back off :D. Every one of Howard's dunks were ridiculous really. The 1st one from behind the basket was my fav I think.

agreed except i thought all of dwight's were fantastic and original. the one from behind the backboard has never been done before and his last one with the mini-hoop was sick because most people start their windmill motion right after they jump, but he had to wait until he grabbed the ball to do it. but ya the candle dunk was gay - creative but gay.Quote:

that is a good point spenda. it just looks boring compared to others, but it is pretty amazing to jump that high. but i guess we can kinda compare it to the superman dunk. howard just jumped really really high and really really far. it wasn't really fancy at all. ok so i take it back. candle one wasn't gay lol.
martin back me up here!!! Candle was gay. His head only drew level with the ring.............
......BIG WHOOP!!! ;)
i wud agree all the DH dunks were v good.
same with the dunk on his socks, hard to do, but doesn't look so... Howard was more of a show all the way. his first dunk was the sickest imo.
i think Green should've saved the candle for the final, just as the one on his socks, now it was almost the same dunk twice in a row.
Superman dunk was just great, although I doubt it really qualifies as a dunk , but who cares :) also fun to see him run away all hyped up and dissing his teammate who tries to bump chests with Howard :P
already been settled :DQuote:

There has never been anything like that.
Who the hell thinks of puting a cake on the "ring" and blowing the candle out?? Great imagination, and he actually blew the candle out.
I was impressed.
Screw you guys. ring, rim who cares!!!! I actually played bball professionally in Ireland so bleh
i'm still waiting for some freak to do an nba jam front flip dunk one day.
I played pro hockey in Africa and scored two baskets per game. :pQuote:
