    Those LBJ and Evans dunks were ridiculous....wow.....

    I actually enjoy the other ASG festivities a little more because I know what I'm going to get....I'm actually a fan of the skills challenge...

    Not to say I don't enjoy the Dunk Contest...I just know there are times when it's going to be a dud...

        With the way it's been the last 10 years, I'm inclined to agree.

          People LOVE to twist words, smh. He (23) made a comment, I believe, about off the field/court/"outside the competitive arena" facial expressions, attitude, etc. not meaning anything.

          I responded by saying my comment about how TO and Ocho's personalities and comments off the field have caused them to generally be viewed/perceived negatively. Thus, I basically responded to the notion that off-the-field/court, etc. actions DO matter in the eyes of fans and media.

          NOWHERE did I compare (whether it be directly or indirectly) Blake Griffin to TO or Ochocinco. I said Griffin seems like he's becoming sort of a D-Bag. Did I say I thought TO was a D-Bag? NO. Did I say the same about Ochocinco? NO.

          Let's not twist words, take comments and quotes for what they are. There's no sense in over-analyzing a general comment just to try to get a rise out of someone, or whatever your purpose was.

                The last ones I truly enjoyed were in '05 and in '07 and '09...I think in '07 people really came to terms with just how athletic Dwight Howard was, from when he put the sticker on the backboard, and especially when Nate Robinson jumped over Dwight, which was cool since it had the whole "Superman" vs. "Krypto-Nate" thing going, with Nate having the all-green on.

                Unfortunately, it's been kinda soft after that.

                For the record, I don't really remember seeing the stuff before 2005, so I won't comment on that.

                  I thnk we should be able to pick from the relatively known DUNKERS, instead of the stars like Blake Griffin, etc.

                  Demar DeRozan and JaVale McGee should be back, but as for the other two, I can only wonder. I don't want another Ibaka episode, even if he did jump from the FT line (That was pretty cool, nevertheless.) A couple of dudes I could think of:

                  Jeremy Tyler (There's also a FAIL in here lol):

                  Also maybe Paul George?

                      I didn't know Jeremy Tyler could do those things. Dang. I may have to give him some minutes in my Warriors association.

                        Garnett for three? WTF? Sooooo all the fours in the league had a little cabal and decided they wanted to be three point shooters now? Pau headed this **** up then dialed up Bosh, KG and Amar'e. Who else am I missing? Love, some more.

                            pretty sure he would adjust and drive in differently

                                Does anyone draw the foul off of a pump fake better than Wade ?
