Agreed.
I think if Blake could have done the one he originally wanted with Baron passing him the ball, that would have been SICK.

LOL. Can't say I blame him. Both of his dunks were filthy, especially the second one.
But at the end of the day, it's all just entertainment. This is the most people have talked about the dunk contest in a long time.

Funny part is that the guy who won didn't really use many props besides the car (which happened to be his lamest dunk). That is what I actually liked about Griffin, he kept it about dunking for the most part.

Griffin should have lost just for being dumb enough to involve Baron Davis. His two worst dunks of the contest involved him depending on Baron to deliver a good pass. Same with Derozan & Amir Johnson.

This. Griffin's solo dunks were friggin' sweet (and didn't take forever).

He's got a point.
He didn't try and do anything ridiculous with toys etc, he just flat out exploded at the rim. I think I enjoyed his dunks the most out of the entire contest.

I still think Serge from the FT line was the best dunk of the night. Followed closely by McGee from behind the backboard.
But Griffin won because without the excitement generated by his hops nobody would have wanted to watch those 2 7 footers dunk.

Oh, I totally see where he's coming from. And I loved his dunks too. But it ain't gonna change.
I agree that the props and all that were a bit annoying, but I appreciate the fact that every contestant obviously put a lot of thought into their dunks, which hasn't been the case over the last few years, with a couple of exceptions.

Ya the dunks were pretty creative, even the ones without the props.
Overall I think I enjoyed the car dunk the least. It was just over the top for a dunk that was all that special. Charles said it right after he did it: He left from the bottom of the circle and just lifted his legs up over the car, a lot of people could have done that.

Ya. I thought they were gonna do some crazy s**t when they brought the car out, but it was all hype and no substance. That was my least favorite dunk of the night too.
FWIW, I liked McGee's Two Hoops and Three Ball Dunks (which is coincidentally a film starring Corey's mom). He used props, but at least they were all related to basketball. Dunking 3 balls or on two different hoops is crazy.
