I am going to watch the dunk contest. It isn't what it used to be, but maybe Blake brings back the magic. In case you want to rate them.

But Griffin won because without the excitement generated by his hops nobody would have wanted to watch those 2 7 footers dunk.

I thought so too

Am I the only one that thought Griffin's were overated? Besides Vince Carter's crab dunk I didnt think the other ones were that great

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.

you f**king kill me pete

I was disappointed in the car dunk as soon as they backed it up so that he only needed to jump over the hood. They should have turned the car so he had to jump the entire length from hood to tail.
