    Dunk contest was a yawner. We all knew who was going to win before it even started.

    The dunk contest was extremely unfortunate. Demar should have moved on as he had the best dunk (his 2nd one in the first round) and somehow his off the edge of the backboard through the legs got less less points than Griffins off the edge of the backboard do nothing with the ball dunk. Ibaka's dunk is without doubt the longest dunk in nba history and he get mediocre scores. There were some beautiful dunks but the contest was over before it even started.

    Looking back, it doesn't make any sense how someone could be -500 going into a dunk contest unless there was some kind of a fix. I don't believe that the nba is rigged/fixed but the dunk contest certainly was.

    I was laughing when i saw the BREAKING NEWS statement flash on the bottom line every few minutes because of a dunk contest. Griffin hype machine on espn had little something to do with that i imagine

    It should have been Demar and Javale in the final round. Demar's first two dunks were better than Blake's first two dunks. I knew it was rigged when Blake got a 49 for that bullsh&t 360 dunk while Demar got a 44 when he caught the ball off the back of the backboard and went between the legs. Plus Blake jumping over the car had to do with the NBA marketing department Kia and Sprite. I'm pretty sure Kia knew Blake was gone be in the finals.

    Most of you guys didn't know it was by Fan Voting? Really? It's been going on for a few years now..

    But how else would you have promoted Kia' Optima. The official car of the NBA and voted Motor Trends car of the year!!!

    Check out ESPN's website. It looks like Kia hacked into it.

    Blake to win was easy money, but I think he was actually 4th best last night.

    But how does the NBA allow something like a promotion of a car come into play like this? Blake Griffen could have seriously injured himself doing that dunk.

    I think they should get rid of it, it is too much of a clown show now

    These scumbags like Kenny Smith should not be involved

    it was obviously rigged.. i bet the fan voting doesnt even go through... the nba just makes up some random numbers that are somewhat believable then bam phone company gets your money for some random fee for texting that number, and nba gets blake the win

    car dunk isnt really that impressive... do you think he would of attempted it if thought he was gonna fall on the hood?? nope...

    go to your local park, bet you could get 3 to 5 kids that can do it..

    dunk contest is a joke anymore

    This stuff is just getting ridiculous and is why I'm moving further away from the NBA.

    And I wanted to strangle Kenny Smith.

    Just like last year, the amateur sprite contrast destroys the NBA one. Last year a dude did a 720 dunk, this year a dude did 360 + between the legs. How the hell did Blakes 1st dunk get the score it did? How did his 2nd get a better score then Derozens 1st when its the same dunk without the between the legs thus EASIER!?
