    "The Dunk Contest is now BACK!"

    Why was Magic screaming this every year? Just got through watching the 2005 Contest that Josh Smith won, and he's talkin bout the contest was lacking the past 3 years or so. Did he not see Jason Richardson and Desmond Mason in 2003?

    When Dwight won last year, they spoke like he pulled off the best dunks ever...like they didn't see Vince in 2000. Explain this to me.

    i dunno what all the hype was about. sure he's explosive, but so what. the superman dunk wasnt even a dunk, he threw it in. this dunk comp was gonna be **** till JR replaced rudy gay. even still, nate robinson does not deserve to be in it. who wants to see a midget attempt a dunk 20 times before he completes it. rudy fernandez? please guess they just wanted a white guy. he's an ok in game dunker. no slam dunk material.

      I thought Kenny was saying that the dunk contest was back last year.

      To be honest, I always watch the dunk contest, and I never thought it was bad or out of style. The best one ever, for my money, was Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Steve Francis going off in 2000, but really. Every year we see a great, new dunk. Dwight Howard gave us 2 last year (not the Superman dunk, but 2 others), as well as the sticker dunk in 2007. 50% of the time he does a dunk that I've never seen before.

      So I would like to know why they say this literally every year, but for what it's worth, I never thought the contest was out of taste.*

      *They said it in 2000 because the contest was not held for 2 years (1998 they decided not to do it, and 1999 was the lockout). The only year that's really sucked since then is the year that they spun the wheel to tell them what dunks to do.
