Wow. Talk about overkill. I thought it was kind of over the top when they started naming the dunks and presenting it with a sign, but what followed was just an entertainment show as a whole. To the point where I fast-forwarded to the dunks. Just bad acting along with choirs and dozens of shoe changes.

DeRozan got robbed in my opinion. His first was a 50, maybe 48 for missing it a couple of times. The second one was a deserving 50.
Blake's first one, the very first he tried would have been on par with Carter's 360 reverse windmill, if he made it. But it ended up as a pretty ordinary two handed 360 which did not deserve 49. That's one thing to get a high score I guess, try something incredible and miss it, and do a much easier version to let the judges think it was the same dunk.
The car dunk was creative and had certainly many 2k gamers on their feet, but it wasn't that impressive to me. The elbow one I liked, but it just looked too easy for him.
I like JaVale's creativity. Ibaka's first was very nice but overall a forgettable performance for im.

Lol @ B-Diddy's face

dude was jerking off with his other hand

Blake deserved to win, no ifs and or buts about it. Ibaka's FT dunk should've been higher, Blake's first should've been a 50, and McGee's 3 ball dunk was a bit much... Impressive, but he kind of just smacked the balls in there was no "art" involved in it.

Best dunk contest since J-rich vs Mason imo.

Blake's first should've been a 50

for a two handed 360?

 

[Yankees2772]

That he pulled back behind his head and looked absolutely beautiful in the air? Yes.

 

[buzzy]

That he pulled back behind his head

Barely.

People were just in awe after the incredible misses he had before that they didn't even realize how ordinary this one looked.

This having a better score than Sir Chewbaka's first is just crap.

What else more do you want?

 

[buzzy]

The ridiculous one he tried twice before that.

blake's first miss might be the best miss ever

holy cow
imagine if he hit this.

 

[elcheato]

Imagine if I hit the dunk from the 3PT line i tried

 

[Rios15]

^ Yeah, the fact that he had to do it a few times kind of ruined it for me. Getting it on the first try would of been amazing.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Didn't Josh Smith try to do that lol.

 

[Pugz]

thats what i dont like. players keep trying the same dunk over and over, id switch it up. but i still liked this year a lot.

serge from the free throw line is pretty beast

 

[Rios15]

That one was just amazing. His body is moving away from the net and he takes one arm and slams it in without even really having to look at the net.

 

[Pugz]

we've seen that dunk just not with an oop. the fact that he did it on the first try is what made it special.

This.

And this... The one he actually made was just a 360, his original attempt though was fucking insane.

 

[DJT]

I wasn't too impressed with most of Blake's dunks. The 3 ball dunk wasn't that cool. Ibaka's free throw line was amazing. And DeRozan's dunk was sick.

 

[DJT]

The game is about to begin...well probably in 30 minutes after all their presentation crap.
