NBA All-Stars Weekend

It's been fun.

Dwyane Wade won the skills challenge.

Dirk Nowitzki won the 3-point shootout.

But, the highlight of all highlights is the SlamDunk Contest where little Nate Robinson won.

Nasuko lagi to si Igoudala, Iverson, Kobe ug iyang mga kauban after Nate has been announced winner... Have u seen it?
I think they both deserve to win but give credit to the 5'9 high leaper for never giving up on his attempts to finish a dunk. :mrgreen:

East VS. WEST today. Kinsa kaha daug...

[cool]

final 122-120 east won from a come from behind victory. they were behind at about more than 20pts. before the end of the 3rd quarter. the piston 4 man team really helped out the east.

MVP lebron james the youngest ever in all star game history. he is the future bago pa gani mvp man dayon.

bai kita ka ni beyonce.

[noRika]

i'm right about king james.... he's keep breaking some existing records!

as shaq quoted: "james is the future of this game" (basketball). :mrgreen:

Comment lang on the dunk contest. Its not only Igoudala, Iverson, Kobe and the rest of the players who was sore when Nate was announced the winner, it also included the whole/ most of the crowd. ^_^ If you watch carefully, there was not much excitement and appause from the crowd when the winner was announced. There were even boos. lol. I have to give credit for nate for his ability to rock the rim for his height but thats all it. There was no creativity on his dunk at all. This is dunk contest and not a talent contest so much of the weight should fall on the originality and execution of the dunk. Lets talk about originality. I wasn't impressed with the creativity of nate's dunk. There were just normal dunks that other dunkers could replicate easily even the so called only "50" point dunk over spudd wasn't that nice. Maybe if he could have jump over a 6' footer, it may have been worth the 50. Its just so happens that he's small. On the other hand, Igoudala's dunks were most, if not all, were more original than nate's. Did you see the A.I to A.I pass of the board? Wow. He even avoided the board and dunked it in reverse. That's impressive. In terms of execution and creativity of the dunk, if some other guy did nate's dunk, will they have the same score? No, they won't 'coz they're just not creative dunks. Another comment I may add is about the "ages" and "centuries" we wait for nate to do 2 of his dunks in the contest. That was very controversial. If other players took that long to have their dunk successfully made, they would definitely have a score way below 40. J.Smith and the other contestants even just had 1-2 tries a couple of times and they had a so much deduction on their scores. lol.

Basically, the award was stolen from Igoudala. It was for him even before the tie. Just look at the reaction of the crowd and other player's when AI didn't win it. If you want and if you haven't yet, you can watch the press conference after the contest. Its fun to watch how spud bailed nate when 1 of the media asked him about his reaction when the crowed wasn't as excited when spud won the contest 20 years back or after Igoudala dunks. lol.

It isn't everyday that you see somebody 5"9' who can dunk a basketball. Let alone jump over an individual. The NBA is grabbing the opportunity to hype up the game by awarding it to Nate. Imagine a 7 footer winning the 3 point shootout while the shortest player won the slamdunk. Historical kaayo. Malas lang si Iguodala.

[king_mark]

a 5-foot-9 player winning the slam dunk is entertaining.. but not as entertaining as iverson-to-igoudala dunk

[celtic_predator]

Ai to Ai dunk was indeed sick.

I can't imagine how Igoudala felt after the winner was announced...

[wAn_eyE]

Sakit on his part 'coz every1 in the arena except the judges know that he won that award. lol. ^_^ Like what Spud said in the press conference, I quote "They shouldn't give big guys to judge dunk contests that they don't know good dunks". lol! <-- targets moses and clyde. Two lousy judges...lol

[king_mark]

they might have just only considered robinson's height
