Griffin was actually the worst of the 4. All 3, and McGee's reverse under the backboard dunk beat him easily.

But Nate Robinson beat Iggy in 2006 so I'm not surprised.

true, its just disturbing that you can see the KIA executive going "we can use blakes face to sell this car, lets buy the dunk contest !" :

Letting the viewers decide who's the winner was extremely stupid. The whole night we saw innovative dunks, and then we see Blake doing the most normal dunk in the world, only it's over the hood of a car to make it look crazy. Looking at my Facebook news feed, about 80% of the people jumping on the Blake Griffin hype know nothing about basketball.

you know guys

power is an essential part of dunking as well. derozan has crazy skill (all-star in training) but the first dunk lacked the OOMF for a 50 (think vince carter, he had the movement AND power). blake's first dunk was OOMF 360 two arm behind the head SLAM IT kind of awesome. his second dunk was meh ... as was mcgees and ibaka's.

so its a tough call. imo it would be a tie between derozan and blake.

Blake's misses were more impressive than most of the dunks tonight, and with the tough competition this year that's saying a lot. And his off the backboard elbow dunk was GREAT. Well deserved, even if he didn't murder the competition like everyone knows he could've (maybe he should've skipped the rookie/sophomore game after all).

He played like 13 minutes in that didn't he?
And people weren't playing exceptionally hard seeing as most were shooting 60%+.
Just sayin', the rookie/soph game probably had no effect on his dunking quality.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Yeah his playtime was limited yesterday but still, I'd bet he woulda yammed that first dunk if he had that extra day of rest. :p

I thought Blake was going to dunk over the car lengthwise, and was excited. Then I saw it horizontal, then he jumped over the hood.

Come on, Nate Robinson jumped (with a pushoff) over Dwight Howard. That's higher than a car. Nate Robinson could have definitely pulled that off.

7 footers don't get 50's when they take off beyond the free throw line, a bit too easy for them.

The McGee double dunk on separate baskets was really good. DeRozan's windmill reverse dunk was really good. McGee's last dunk was anticlimactic. Blake's first 3 were good, but not as good the first attempts on his second dunk (off the side of the backboard, jump from outside the side of the paint, 360).

I want to see someone some day do the legendary make change dunk, which is probably physically impossible for anyone today.

It's definitely not easier for a 7 footer to dunk from the foul line. That shit is hard no matter who you are.

Apparently that's what the announcers said when Dwight did it two years ago and gave him a lower score.

I know I was so mad when nate robinson won that. That shit still pisses me off.

I thought Derozens 2nd dunk was the best dunk of the night followed by mcgees 1st dunk of the finals. Both incredible dunks

Yea those 2 were my favorites by far. McGee had to duck his head under the backboard going away from the rim. Insane.

If Blake had hit that nasty 360 windmill dunk he was trying for his first dunk he would have deserved that more. McGees under the basket dunk was the best of the night

Blake's first dunk was wow.

Other than that I thought McGee probably was better overall. Ibaka deserved way better than he got.

Still, pretty cool dunk contest.

NBA All Star about to take place.

East Coach: Doc Rivers
East Starters: Lebron, Wade, Howard, Stoudemire, Rose
Bench : Rondo, Pierce, Allen, Garnett, Horford, etc.

West Coach: Gregg Popovich
West Starters: Kobe, Durant, Carmelo, Paul, Duncan
Bench: Love, Williams, Griffin, Gasol, etc

Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles

I think this will be SO MUCH BETTER than NFL's Pro Bowl.

Anyone else stoked?
