Exactly... WTF was all that about?!
Not only did the cut the # of contestants to 4 (from 6 they had previously), but the choice of contestants? Goddamn, who came up with the list...?!
The white boy, Andersen? Sure, he's got hops, but he's a goddamn 6' 9" or something! And no, he had no creativity whatsoever, totally not suitable for the dunk contest... (i won't even bother mentioning the butter-finger hands... ok, i mentioned it).
Amare? Yea, I like that kid and I think he's a sick player (especially when he posterizes others in the game), but I don't see him doing something spectacular, especially with his heights and no hang time whatsoever!
The Smiths... well, at least they managed to get these 2 names right. Too bad one of them got knocked out in the first round. And yea, Josh Smith totally deserved the title - not only did he not miss a single dunk (no retries whatsoever), but they were all well thought out, sick, some original, some throw backs to the old school (oh man, that Dominique jersey was a good surprise), etc. This kid is the shiznit...
Special mention goes to Charles Barkley and his comments... he's a champ and he should get some trophey for that as well!
And just as a note, here are some dunks from the NCAA dunk contests, and you be the judge on who is more creative, original, entertaining, etc:

omg the commentary was classic...
"practicing on stage"
"7th try"
"even if he jumps throug the roof he won't get a 10"
"next year nash will be wearing skates"
lol that was funny....poor white kid boy did he suck
smiths first dunk should have won it if only he didn;t need 4 tries..BEHIND THE BACK!!!!!!
and yeah i have seen better high school dunks than some of those....and just when will someone actually jump from behind the free throw line....everyone is always a half foot over...NO ONE has ever gone from behind the line!!!! |

who remembers those NCAA dunks a few years ago when they went all out and they had one guy jump over a sofa with 2 of his buddies sitting in it, dunk it and sit down with them, and the other do a 360 degree spin dunk over a guy sitting in a chair (a-la-Kenyon Martin dunk, just with the added 360 degree spin)... oh god, that was mind-blowing!
And Barkley's comment on "Total Motion" slow-mo-effect or whatever that was --> "That... that is a Total waste of money! That's what it is!" :D |

| A couple of years back, in the euro version of the slam dunk competition, a serbian fella by the name of Marko Milic won the title (and the car) by jumping over a Mercedez Benz, from the freethrow line, off 2 feet. He was literally horizontal in the air. I so want to see that footage again. |
