Waiting for the All star game today, I hope to see a more entertaining game between these two teams, I just like to have more fun so I didn't put a single bet on this game, but team Lebron will likely win this, no doubt.

Same here i'll be having breakfast with some slam dunks I hope
I will not make a wager on this one but TEAM LEBRON is too strong in my opinion and the point spreads prove it

I am afraid that even if team Lebron would win, team Giannis would cover because this game is jut for entertainment, no bearing games and no defense so any team could make their own run to make this a close game. Seen this many times in the past.

Ja Morant has a point here, and I think all of us will agree that Aaron Gordon definitely deserves to win the dunk contest. His dunks are more creative and a beauty to see, we can see the reactions of the players themselves.

Unfortunately even if we insist he does but we can't change the facts that there are judges who does not give it to him to win.
It's like saying that a "Manny" got robbed against Horn but we still move on and those who bet on Horn to win won a good their bet, same thing happen here.

Aaron Gordon DEFINITELY deserved the dunk contest, dude should had two cups now as well, he was robbed once again. I was expecting Derrick Jones JR to win but I wasn't expecting the game to go this way. After watching if I had a vote who should win I would have definitely gave it to Aaron Gordon, I do understand his frustration about the points he got and even Ja Morant basically said he won't join the contest because it was basically people giving more points to players who they like more instead of who deserved more.

In the end three point contest was more legit as always since there is no interpretation of any sorts and it all comes down to talent, same with skills challenge, they were both a lot better and honestly I wasn't shocked Buddy Hield won because that dude can shoot amazingly even in game so it was definitely expected.

Three point contest this year is awesome as well, Buddy Held came from behind and win. He wax hot in the last two racks.

Agreed aaron should have won again. There will never be a way to take the judgement out of the dunk contest so it is what it is. I'm still in awe over what these guys threw down, but yeah gordon should have one this one. The judges wanted to end it in a tie but someone screwd up the points and gave him 47 instead of 48 lol.

Honestly when it comes down to dunking ability, everyone was great however one thing we are all forgetting that at one point NBA dunk contest became more like an entertainment and not just good dunks. Remember when Blake Griffin jumped over a car?? (ok hood of the car) remember all the nate robinson and Howard rival stuff? Sure howard brought out the cape this year and it was nice to have 24 there as well but that doesn't mean that this was entertainment at all, this was just bunch of amazing dunkers just jumping really high and dunking really well, there was no "extra" involved at all and that is literally whats missing from dunk contest for the past few years, someone has to make something really extra in order to make this a lot more fun again, otherwise its bunch of dunkers just dunking.

What are you saying? Did you not just watch the dunk competition? Aaron Gordon just dunked over a guy more than 7 feet tall, that is far better in Blake Griffin's dunk over a car's hood and Nate's dunk over Dwight Howard that is just 6'11. If that is not extra, I don't know what you still want, and I am still wondering how Aaron still lost the dunk contest. Come on, that jump is more than 47 points.

I agree, it's not that easy to jump over Taco and it's frustrating to see him loss again.

And you can hear the basketball fans, they booed the judges for that blunder, Lmao. That should be 50 easy no doubt about it. Maybe they don't want Aaron Gordon to win or something, really bad judging.

The same sentiments from all those fans who watched this dunking contest, those high up dunks from Aaron Gordon really brings entertainment
but the judges is not impress giving him only 47 and loses that match.
For entertaining part for sure there's no question with how he jumped that high but still didn't get the approvals of those judges.

Anybody thinks Aaron Gordon got robbed this year's NBA slamdunk contest? Lol Cheesy

I mean, he been doing 50's from the beginning (the sideline 360 was really amazing) and then on the final round he got 47 for jumping over the tallest person in the gym. Damn, that's crazy! A 47 maybe because his thighs touched Taco's shoulders?
Congrats to Derrick Jones Jr anyway he's also a good dunker throughout the competition.

I do feel the same way too yet Gordons dunks are way more better that Jones.Well, we cant do anything because all decisions would come from judges itself.
Dont know if they can really differentiate or whats their personal criteria on each dunks. Grin

I was thinking that the last dunk with Taco is the winning piece for Gordon but sad to say that he didn't get the judges approvals.
It was very entertaining battle between him and Jones Jr, both deserves the win we should all respect the judges calls and congratualates
the winner.

I agree mate, I think he got robbed (again?). I thought he got it when he jump over Tacko. No offense against Derrick Jones Jr, but I think Gordon should have won the NBA Slamdunk this year.

It's a bit controversial, in my opinion,

Quote

“It’s a wrap, bro,” Gordon, an Orlando Magic forward, said of his Dunk Contest career. “I feel like I should have two trophies. It’s over for that.”

Spoiler alert. Grin

So Jones Jr. won the dunk contest but it looks questionable to some of the analyst.
Well, it is the judges decision so that should be respected.

IMO, Jones Jr already won it before the tie breaker.
It is just that, the judges are so kind to give too much 10's at the scoreboard.
Next time, they should prepare two trophies just in case something like that happens again.
They are both really good. I was shocked with how much they defy gravity, literally. Grin

I thought that AG will be getting that trophy now.

AG will not be joining the competition again, they are both great players but I think AG is a bit bitter about this loss, is it me or he's really that desperate to win? BTW, here's an article about one of the judges, Common saying that they thought that this contest will be tied.

But I don't think that judges will be sentimental, there are a lot of good pure dunkers in the contest. Maybe he will do some antics and again entertain the crowd, but I don't think that he will win again.

I agree. It is good that he will be letting us remember the superman of the past but I don't think it will be that necessary since there are a lot of new players now that can surprise people more, including Gordon. When Dwight Howards is in Orlando, he won the Dunk Contest and I read that Aaron Gordon will be taking the trophy back to Orlando.

We never know actually, he can still dunk for sure but if he has something new to show, who knows?
At the odds now in the dunk contest, he got the lowest chance of winning but the betting odds is really good at 8.00, I would put a little bet on it.

I would do too. My friend contacted me about this and want to watch the dunk contest with me for the sake of the old times. I think for me this is just like a tribute to Kobe where we are getting back to that past that we will never be seen again. He is bringing back the past where I am really enjoying and thrilled watching NBA, it is fun since at that time I don't have a problem watching games all day, unlike now that I am busy with my job.
