So yea, definetly going to try and catch this if they do an internet stream

[Cartar]

I think I catched some of it last year, it actually looks quite promising. IIRC Brent won last year, but White is going to nail this year.

[Andrew]

Awesome stuff, a shame Petway and Ewing were cut during training camp. Or they could just do NBA vs D-League in the dunk contest with a field of eight overall.

I like this one more than the NBA Dunk Contest.

[Mandich]

OMFG!!! Ewing, Air Georgia and Flight96 in a dunk contest?? Awesome, Mr. James Flight96 is gonna win it though

[Patr1ck]

Last years NBDL dunk contest wasn't very good, imo. Looks like it could be better this year, even better than the NBA one. Hopefully I will be able to catch it.

[Andrew]

What I like about some of the highlights of the NBDL contest participants is the amount of tricks and level of flair with the basketball and nothing else. Much as I like some of the gimmicks in recent years and the creativity behind them, they've starting to overshadow the dunks a bit to the point where players are throwing down somewhat "basic" (though admittedly powerful) dunks and getting high scores because of the gimmick. Dwight Howard's lob-then-tap-off-the-board impressed me a lot more than the Superman "dunk".

[Oskar]

Depends, sometimes those thunderous and powerful jams are as good as a dunk can get, something like VC did, it wasn't all 'bout creativity there, y'know.

[Andrew]

True, but not necessarily in a dunk contest where people are getting more creative.

[JaoSming]

James White won, but I didnt get to see it.


Did anyone find out where to watch it or where there might be a recap?

[Erchamion]

James White is making some great dunks but somehow they don't look very impressive to me. Maybe it's because i was a big fan of MJ and Clyde who both had fantastic looking air time.

[Patr1ck]

I guess if you watch TNT all day they might show some highlights from it.

[Andrew]

Last year's contest is up on YouTube so chances are this year's contest will be up there soon enough.

[JaoSming]

been searching youtube every hour, sorting by date added


its going to be impossible to do that in about 2 hours after the NBA contest


if I find anything Ill post it, but if someone else finds anything, post it up

[Patr1ck]

You gotta be kidding me on the second one.

[Andrew]

That is ridiculous. Can't wait to see some clips.

[JaoSming]
