The Dunk Contest Was a Snoozer


All I know about this year's dunk contest is that some dude named the Human Pogo Stick won it.  I didn't even realize it was over when announced the winner.  Why was there only one round? Pretty much the most anticlimactic dunk contest I've ever seen.  Jeremy Evans got a whopping 29% of the fans' votes to win it, even though I don't think any of them really deserved to win.  Every contestant jumped over something, whether it was P. Diddy, Roy Hibbert, a motorcycle or that midget Kevin Hart.  Chase Budinger never had a chance, white guys in the dunk contest are always a lost cause.  Unless your name is Brent Barry and you're dunking from the foul line with your warmups still on, stay home Chase.


And you didn't fool anyone with that blindfolded dunk either dude.  We all know you missed the first one on purpose and could see the whole time.  Hey Chase, thanks for the worst dunks of the night and proving that white men can't jump.



Derrick Williams' best dunk was the 360 from Ricky Rubio off the side of the backboard, but he didn't help himself by taking about 15 attempts for his third dunk.


Cool entrance bro.


Paul George must've blown out his nutsack on Roy Hibbert's head when he tried jumping over him on his first dunk.  Maybe that's why he had to slap the Larry Bird sticker on the backboard five times before he made it.  The glow in the dark dunk was a cool i guess.



Jeremy Evans' first dunk with the camera was pretty awful and the Karl Malone tribute was nice but jumping over 5 foot tall Kevin Hart isn't that impressive.  His second dunk where he jumped over Gordon Hayward and dunked two balls was clearly the best dunk of the night since it's never been done before.  Nothing crazy but it definitely involved a lot of skill and no one has seen it before.  I guess somebody had to win right?






The greatest slam dunk contest performance ever.



The greatest battle in a slam dunk contest.



On a side note, Anthony Morrow rocking the throwback Drazen Petrovic jersey in the 3 point shootout was a baller move.
