Why is he bagging the other guys dunk? I think that's pretty low. So what if you were robbed, it's just a dunk contest. Get over it and stop being a little bitch.

Agreed, he comes off as a sore loser by doing that but in a way I can't blame him. The way the judging has gone the last couple of years I'm not surprised people aren't too keen to compete. Even if it is "just for fun", it's obvious competitive spirit and drive is afoot.

its fair enoguh to be pissed off, if the judges changed the score to give the win to nate, id be fucking pissed off too

There's a difference between being pissed off (which is understandable) and coming out and bagging the other guy's dunk in the media.

Iggy has every fucken right to be pissed. Kenny Smith has fucked up the dunk contest big time. If Iggy won you never know what new crazy shit he could pull off in next year's dunk contest. Kenny Smith you are a douche thanks for fucking it up for everyone in particular the fans. He's right about Nate's Dunk imo but its 50 cause its fucken Spud, so what can you do.

I hardly think winning the dunk contest would make him more creative. Josh Smith actually came back worse.
Tue Feb 21, 2006 3:34 pm
Yeah it is 50/50 but look at J-Rich what he did when he came back to defend.
Tue Feb 21, 2006 3:36 pm
Acutally, Nate's first dunk was the best, in my opinion.
Tue Feb 21, 2006 5:51 pm
Iggy's dunk > Nate's Facial on Spud.

nate's dunks were scored high because of his height and his jumping abilty and not on the quality of the dunk in my opinion

I agree with Jae and Andrew. He has the right to be mad at the judges, but the DK is over and he should be focusing on other stuff.

If the slam dunk competition at All-Star weekend had been merely a made-for-television event, it would have been one of the most spectacular contests in the history of the NBA. A little editing would have eliminated the 20 or so missed attempts by Nate Robinson, allowing viewers to fully appreciate what both he and Andre Iguodala accomplished.
The fact is, each player made dunks that fans have never seen before. In a contest that has been going on for over 20 years, both players were unbelievably creative in their approach. The problem was, of course, that there was no editing.
Robinson's 13 straight misses in the final round sucked the life out of the Toyota Center, making his successful 14th attempt seem more of a relief than a cause for celebration. Still, because of the archaic rule that a player gets as many tries as he needs, Robinson was given a high mark on his last dunk that led to his victory.
Anyone watching at home or at the event couldn't help but feel Iguodala was robbed of the title. His dunk off the back of the backboard was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, and his rebound/around-the-back slam was something that had never been done in this event, either. Iguodala also was quick to abandon efforts that weren't working and move onto other ideas. Robinson, on the other hand, stubbornly stayed with his plan and still somehow won.
If this were the Olympics, the judges in the competition – a contingent of former Houston Rockets players – would be investigated for fraud. Iguodala clearly should have won. That's why it's time for the NBA to alter the rules of the contest and only allow two or three missed dunks before penalizing the player. And the league should make sure its judges know what they're doing.
Spot on!
