Dunk Contest 2014 Thread - Dun Fucked it Up

[bowdown]

Lillard did pretty good. Even though he was the clear underdog.

A couple of nice dunks but the format was a flop in my view. With that kind of star power and some creativity in the dunks, just go back to the traditional format as seen in the D-League contest, which to me came off looking a lot better because of it.

McLemore's throne dunk was disappointingly corny and an example of why I believe gimmicks need to be discouraged. The dunk itself was fairly nice, but it's a concept we've seen plenty of times before (jumping over someone, something or both) and the shtick added nothing, being embarrassingly corny. I know it's all for fun, but that wasn't entertaining, it was just cringeworthy.

Paul George's between-the-legs 360 was probably my favourite dunk of the night. The crowd seemed a little dead for it though.

Haven't expected much and was still disappointed. Many misses and very little exciting dunks.
I liked that Paul George 360 too, but Wall's dunk was the best I've seen in this year's contest...

i did like the head to head format though if they are gonna keep doing teams. replace freestyle round with a coin flip like jon said and then each battle should have 2 dunks a person so they get more than 1 chance to show us something cool

McLemore's props seemed like Shaq's ideas tbh. I think everybody was expecting there to be a second round or second dunk, so Ben didn't get a chance to pull out anything more impressive. I really wish they would have let him attempt his 720.

I actually wanted to see more from Lillard as well. I didn't expect him to be able to pull of what he did and I wonder what else he has planned.

Paul George's between-the-legs 360 was probably my favourite dunk of the night.

When a judge who has high standards for a dunk like Julius Erving says 'sick' it's definitely good.

The D-League Dunk-Contest is much better and spectacular
