Evans first dunk was sooo bad. Paul George didn't have a really great dunk but he didn't have such a stinker either. He should've won in my opinion.

Ever since the winner of the dunk contest began to be determined by fans, the competition was pretty much ruined. It's not about the dunks anymore. It's about the lame showmanship and the gimmicky effects they can think of. Superman and KriptoNate? Flousrescent tape? Cameras on the forehead? What about the dunks?

I mean, leaving aside the legacies of Vince Carter, MJ and Dominique, does anybody remember J-Rich? Desmond Mason? Josh Smith? Those guys were among the best and did it by simply doing amazing dunks.

I hope the NBA realizes how pathetic the last few contests were. But I guess the economical interests come first. Oh poor NBA... All-Star Saturday Night is all about the 3 point contest now. Too bad...

As bad as this dunk contest was, i think Evans deserved to win it anyway, if only for the dunk over Hayward.

his other two dunks were so terrible though.

Paul George had the best 3 combined. The 360 windmill in the dark was pretty sweet actually http://www.nba.com/pacers/video/2012/02/25/pgdunk2MOV-2015843/index.html

And he jumped over a 7'2" guy. If his last dunk went in on the first try I think he would have won for sure, but when leaving it up to the fans you never know. Still should have won.

Why the hell do they even do the slam dunk contest anymore. It's not 2002 still.

Was pleasantly surprised from what I saw from the dunk contest last nite. Maybe it is b/c I was not expecting much but it wasn't bad

On other news: Lakers, Superman, together after ASB...wait and see

It's because every dunk has pretty much been done before and that's pretty much the only way you can create "new" dunks.

I was quite disappointed by the dunk contest, actually.. The glow-in-the-dark dunk from George was a cool idea, Evans' double dunk was also good. While it's a nice gesture, the homage dunks didn't really do it for me.. Budinger's was probably the best, but I always have the feeling that they're not blindfolded..

.. it's fun for those guys though, like Kenny Smith said it's sort of a coming-out party for them - but I'd rather see the stars of the league dunking.

yea theres really only so much you can do unless your inhuman like Griffin or something and even then its only the fluff that people like not the dunks. Sat was a bit of a snorefest, was hoping for better from the 3 shootout aswell.

Dunks just need power and they look good. No need to reinvent the wheel. The biggest props and creativity wont help you if your dunk just looks weak.

Agree. I thought Budinger's blindfold dunk was quite good, but not because of the blindfold.

Why do we need to remix national anthems?
