The DUMP Contest

The Circus, Professional Wrestling, and now, the NBA Dunk Contest.

You know Wrestling and Basketball... ehh not too different after all.

A lost boy, toy on the rim, two baskets, 3 balls, a car, someones mom, and a choir from Crenshaw.

"Win the crowd, and you win your freedom" - Reggie Miller

What the hell does that mean?

I'm sick of the gimmicks. McGee had to bring out two two baskets, his mom, and three balls. Ibaka brought out an orphan and African flags, Griffin brought out sponsorships.

Hey Man Serge Ibaka got robbed. 

The only good thing about Ibaka's first dunk were no props.

But lets look at how many people have done that dunk...

Best Of Freethrow Line Dunks - The most amazing home videos are here

Brent Barry, Jordan, Dr. J, Pippen, and a ton of scrubs...

I love Blake Griffin, don't get me wrong. He's the most exciting player in the NBA right now. But the Dunk Contest was rigged for him to win it.

In Los Angeles, a Crenshaw Choir and KIA one of the NBA's biggest sponsors...

You think KIA and the Crenshaw Choir were just gana go home if BG didn't make it?
How much more money would the NBA lose?

"Yuu sed yud bwing out da caaah, for te dunk!" - KIA Spokesman

It took more time to wheel out that brand new 2011 KIA Optima SX and cue the Choir then it did for the dunk to happen.
In fact! We missed half the dunk because the camera was focused on some chubster singing "I Believe I Can Fly."

"Did you notice he dunked over the official car of the NBA? The KIA Optima."
"Yea I did, that's a great lookin' car"
"Great lookin' car."

Thanks Charles, and Reggie.

I don't know if the Dunk Contest has ever been GREAT so to say, but it was good at one time. But All Star Weekend was at its best was when the best would compete.
Jordan against Dominique, Bird against anyone.
It was a great way for the best to compete against the best.
To put it today's standard.. it would be like Kobe against Lebron, against Carmelo, against Pierce.
Not Booby Gibson, against Durant.

What the NBA is losing in talent is trying to make up for in theatrics. I don't want to see a Choir. I just want to see some awesome looking dunks. I want air time and power, aka NASTY. I don't want cupcakes on rims, or somersaults. I just want good dunks.

Who started the gimmick? Probably Cedric Ceballos' blindfolded ass.

Didn't like him on the Suns, hated him on the Lakers, and despise him fora  fake dunk.


(sigh)
I can't wait til Tuesday when The Blakesters go back to making grown men look silly.

PS. Derazon got robbed
