    Of course when it comes down to a popularity contest in the final round...what else would you expect. This is just the same as Yao getting voted as a starter in the All-Star game every year when he plays two games a year.

    How Long has Dunk Conest had fan voting in final?

    ?????????

    Would have bet everything I own on Griffin if I knew that. The dunks were irrelevant, he was gonna win.

    What an awful dunk contest. Overhyped dunks, "coaches" (Kenny Smith was annoying as fuk) and fan voting. Ugh.

    Line was -250 then went up to -500 at sharp books quick.

    Small limits so no biggie really.

    Really lame to have fan voting. People are fags.

    I don't know why you would put up a line if you know everyone is going to bet on Griffin and the winner wins by popularity contest. That's like shooting yourself in the head. It's kind of funny actually.

    He shouldn't have made the finals and gotten the chance to win the fan vote. The judges rigged it in the first round to make him advance.

    Every dunk has been pretty much done...you don't think they know that. Imagine being them trying to come up with something original. You almost have to use props in some shape or form. Javale's dunk with the two rims and Derozin's second dunk was insane and I think he got screwed a bit.

    Everyone bitches bout the dunk contest but would you really prefer to watch the 3pt contest or the skills challenge instead? No one would watch if it weren't for the dunk contest.

    Derozen did pretty much the same dunk Griffin did (hid 2nd to get in the finals) but he did it better yet got a lower score. It was cute. they tried to add some creativity to it. A for effort, dunk contest is still gay though. McGee for example, Yeah he had to rims, so what, was the dunk even good? I didn't think so. The 3 ball dunk didn't even look like dunking to me, i think his best was the 3rd dunk he did with his head behind the backboard. 4th dunk was an absolute joke, its like he didn't even expect to be in the finals so all his creativity was done after those multiple ball dunks. Ohh he wanted to do 1 from the ft line? Really? How many ******* times do we need to see that dunk? And McGee is the lunatic that tried to do it in a game (failing badly). Griffin pretty much did a 360 for his 1st dunk, there is a dude that does 720. The car dunk was pathetic. Only good dunk he had is the elbow off the backboard.

    They should play an nba game. Then after the game is decide have the fans decide who won.

    Stern should be happy, the nba is fixed anyway so have fans at it.

    You can alllllways tell who took the "value" picks. If you didn't see this coming from a mile away, you shouldn't be betting on All Star Weekend.

    DeRozan should of made it to the final, I don't get how one of the better dunks in the first part got the lowest score.

    Would have been funny is Derozan and Mcgee were in finals and Blake, his car and 200 singers would be sitting in locker room saying "What the ****?"

    Of course Blake was going to win. I voted for him 150 times! That accounted for 23% of the votes.
