    I will agree with you, last year's was better...I found the dunk contest very lame because all of the dunks were just :(. The All-Star game was good in the beginning before getting really bad. The three point contest was okay, but I say that it wasn't as good as it is supposed to. Phew, but the actual results took a while lol :p!

    Well, I think Dwight Howard gave everybody the wrong thought. He was giving the impression that he would do something really cool, but all he did was bore me. At least LeBron James is putting his hand up for next year because he better make it. That would make it the most interesting :).

    I thought that Nate Robison's dunks were pretty lame, but Howard's were even worse. That's why Nate won again. The NBA is running out of good dunkers lol.

    Howard wouldve won if he did the 11/12 foot dunk in the second round. His free throw line dunk was anti-climactic... plus nate had to push himself over dwight -_-

    That one wasn't even as fascinating. He can jump 12 feet without trying much...and he did nothing but a regular dunk. He could easily have done a 12 foot windmill or 360º that would have won the contest.

    still the fact that he CAN dunk on a 12 foot hoop is already amazing.. that's why he got a 50 for it.

    Dunking on a hoop that's 2 feet taller than the normal hoop that has people struggling to dunk on... >_>

    oh and lol @ kapono...

    Lol, he's kinda gifted though if you know what I mean. He can dunk on a 12 foot hoop with no problem because he's tall and he can jump. He's not like Yao Ming who is tall and can't jump.

    I'm so glad that guy didn't win again :arf:. That was hilarious to see him struggling his *ss :tehe:.
