DeMar had it locked up

and wasted it.

Yeah, not liking that final dunk. People won’t remember the first round dunk.

Problem is… Urgg… Nate gets too much credit for being short

Nate attempts dunks several times before he actually gets it which to me seems like it should lower the score. I think Demar got it first try every time except for one, its annoying watching Nate go for attempt after attempt.

DeMar made mistakes on both first attempts of his dunks in the 2nd round.

In the first round, first dunk, he ran up once and then redid it without actually jumping. He aced the second in the first round

Piss poor dunk contest

DeMar had easily the best dunk of the night, and even that one was “meh”.

This was a turrible dunk contest.

Seriously, one of the worst I’ve ever witnessed. Plus, DeRozan, even with that bad last dunk, still should’ve won the contest.

You guys are nuts.

That was the best dunk contest in three years. No stupid props. No throwing the ball through the net. Sure Wallace and Brown tossed up some lobs when they should have been throwing strikes. But Nate and Demar showed some solid dunks. Demar should have won, but I wasn’t too upset with the out come because Nate put down some solid dunks as well. I was disappointed in the commentators. Still hate Kenny Smith “DON’T PANIC!” Shut up!!!

Yeah, pretty terrible

I’ll say that fan voting sucks. It was obvious that Nate would win because that final dunk was stuck in the minds of everyone… I don’t know why they stopped doing “expert point scores”.

I’d say the most disappointing thing was just how little energy there was in the place and how many times the players had to re-dunk. Re-dunking always seems to deflate the crowd.

i agree

There shouldn’t be a 2:00 time minute. Do the dunk the first time or go home

How did demar do? I wanted to watch it but couldn’t did he do good?

You didn’t get goosebumps, but I think he put himself a little more on the map. He should be asked to come back next year at least and he definitely did better than Jamario did.
