I wasn't talking to or about you. There are a lot of discussions going on around the internet about whether it was a dunk or not. The definition says it was, yet some claim if you don't touch the rim, it isn't a dunk.

Dwight however did win but it was much closer than people are saying, Green's birthday cake dunk was sweet. Also the pass that McCants did was horrible so I would of given the between the legs dunk a better score. The last between the legs dunk sucked, even without the shoes...

I agree with you that it shouldnt of been a dunk. It was a throw in, and that is NOT A DUNK, espicially when your a good like 6 inches away from the hoop..But with that being said, he did do other great stuff. I really wish i could've seen what he'd do if they raised the hoop to 12 feet! And i think Green should've saved his cake dunk for the final round, that would've been interesting then!

Re: Dwight Howard
Once again, by definition, the Superman dunk was, in fact, a dunk. Any argument against that is just spin.

Re: Dwight Howard
The Superman dunk, was a dunk. You can argue all you like but the definition proves, it was a dunk. It would have been nice to see him grab the rim, but it was still amazing.

Re: Dwight Howard
Even though he dident dunk the ball it was still amazing. Im not really sure if it counts as a dunk or not.

Re: Dwight Howard
Oh for Christ's sake...
What makes it "not a dunk"?
The ball was powered downwards, not up-then-down.
The only reason this issue is even being raised is because noone's ever jumped high enough before for it to have been discussed.

How well is the Knicks Starters vs NBA Team Starters? 60%? 50%? 40%? or are we waiting to see by being optimistic because we have a new additional player in the Starting lineup that we assume Stat sheet record says he is better with this Knick roster than the guy he is replacing?

Re: Dwight Howard
Well just to take it a little further, the point is I'd much rather contestants complete a typical and common dunk, rather than a throw which is technically considered a dunk by definition..
I'll agree that its technically a dunk, but its not really what the Dunk contest is about and I can't emphasise that enough. The last thing they want is multiple people throwing the ball in the rim each year or something.
But it was still amazing, and I didn't mind it at all. I'm just saying I'd rather that not be a continuing thing in the dunk contest..

That said, I'd still give it 50 and I found it very impressive, but it would have been better if he dunked it, and I'd prefer if contestants completed an actual typical dunk, not some loop-hole in its technical definition..
But again, I'd give it 50 anyway, that was an amazing performance. JNice knows whats up too.

Uh no. I was labelled a Dwight hater because I doubted the Magic as contenders and defended the Heat.. If anything, I'm supporting Dwight.
