(It did seem to be quite rigged.)

Because the JaVale McGee got robbed.

McGee got robbed???? How about Demar DeRozan.....highway robbery!

He missed the final round with Griffin finishing 1 point ahead of him. They both did basically the same dunk, with their teammate passing the ball off the side of the backboard. The only difference is Demar went through his legs for the jam, and Griffin simply did a relatively simple windmill. DeRozan got a 44, Griffin a 45.......Absolutely Joke!

The judges were asked to make sure Griffin got in the finals, because the event was sponsored by Kia, and Blake had the dunk over the hood of the Kia lined up for the finals. The judges were all looking around to make sure they got Griffin to the final.

All wagers should have been cancelled....but unfortunately mine was not. I have pleaded my case to no resolution. I believe I got robbed.

Very true Regul8ar.

Griffin is their hype machine right now. I still think he is overrated at this point.

I agree onlooker.

I believe LaMarcus Aldridge was much more desrving of a spot on the West roster instead of Griffin. Sure Griffin's numbers are SLIGHTLY better at this point, but it doesn't matter in my opinion. The Clippers suck, and the Trailblazers are in 5th in West. Without LaMarcus, I honestly feel like they'd have 10 less wins. Griffin already got to play in the rookie/sophomore challenge and the dunk contest. As a rookie, did he really need to take a spot from LaMarcus who has yet to be an All Star yet???

Heck, in my books, LaMarcus should be a top 3 or 5 candidate for MVP at the midway point.

Everyone knew that the dunk contest was rigged,,,,sponsored by Kia and in LA. Pretty apparent to me and that's why I took Griffin, easy money!!

onlooker · 02-21-11, 12:12 PM

Yep. Aldridge should of had that spot. He has his team in the playoffs without Roy.

Which book canceled them? Winning bets too?

WHATaTEASE · 02-21-11, 05:03 PM

why do u think blakes odds were 1/5. Books didn't want anyone taking the definite winner.

How many places were canceling the bets?
there didn't seem to be a lot of value betting on Griffin so I think most people would have had money on the other guys, seems weird that they'd cancel it unless a ton of money went on Griffin late.
