ILH has opinions about the 2011 dunk contest

i didn't see all of them :(

demar derozan one hand windmill

And this'll be the last one I watch unless they ban props.

I rewatched mcgee's two balls two hoops one and it's pretty good when viewed in isolation - guess I was let down by all the failed buildup

ice cram otm about dunk contest being made for highlights

ibaka free throw vs mcgee 2x2 vs mcgee 3x1

demar one-handed

y'know, i'm gonna vote serge free throw solely for actually doing something that is tried in like every dunk contest ever but no one ever does it

if blake had thrown down his initial 360 windmill it would be that

demar's one hander was awesome too for being creative w/o props

Everywhere I go now I hear people hating on the Griffin car dunk. I still thought it was pretty cool the way he kind of sailed over the car, and the angle of the pass was tricky. It's really hard to judge a dunk like that against non-car dunks.

In my opinion: each time you fail a dunk attempt they should subtract a point from the final score.

went with demar - best encapsulates the original spirit of the dunk contest

Yeah I am leaning that way too.

my opinion is that the dunk contest is boring, save one monster dunk i saw by blake griffin.

for it to be exciting, you need to be dunking on somebody.

I can't work out why I was so unmoved by this dunk - like, Jordan is from six inches further forward but it's genuinely beautiful to watch - this was somehow sort of blah.

Voted 2-2 because it's completely impossible for a human to do that.

Wow the 2nd DeRozan vid really works, with the music? Cool.

In my opinion: each time you fail a dunk attempt they should subtract a point from the final score.

agreed

such punitive measures would just make the dunks more conservative

yeah, it is what it is imo

time limit is an improvement

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I'm fine with that if I don't have to sit through two minutes of failed attempts each time.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I have no opinion on the dunk contest.

difference between ibaka's ft dunk and mj's seems to be that mj brought his legs up to emphasize the jump height and length, and he isn't rushing & reaching to get the ball in cause he's about to hit the ground.

MJ didn't need to rush since he jumped from closer in.

the - for ibaka's dunk for me is that he doesn't hold the rim or finish it with any kind of flourish, just kind of limply grabs it before letting go

yeah he barely made it - but he also took off from way further away - i voted for him anyway thos

so did i

if i remembered to vote that makes three. more jamesworthyesque than you usually want in a contest dunk // undeniable beauty

So yeah, that Kia commercial.

But what you don't realize is that if McGee won there was going to be a commercial for double basketball hoops.

Was just thinking about how sick I am of that Kia commercial and then it occurred to me -- this doesn't make the car look good at all. The car gets BG nuts. It's like Kia is the Timofey Mozgov of cars.
