.... Jamario better be ready to back it up. He's been pretty vocal over the last 72 hours.

Charles Barkley said you have no chance to win the dunk contest. What do you say about that?

JM: Aww, you know what? I have to tell you... I have a better chance of winning the dunk contest than Charles Barkley has of going back to Alabama and become Governor. I tell you right there.

Barkley and the rest of the crew were so far up howards ass that no one stood a chance. Moon should have made it the final over green.

Should of, could of, would of! It sucks I know, but Jamario as pretty as his first dunk was, he should of opened up with something more spectacular.

Ah well, he saw first hand what works for the judges this year, so assuming he's still in the NBA next season I'm sure he'll get another invite back.

Torontosaurus · 02-17-2008, 12:04 PM

I dont think Green should have been in the final, but I still think MOon did a swell job.

Love that first dunk, I was outta my seat!

M-O-O-N, that spells MOOOOOON!!

**Acie** · 02-17-2008, 12:09 PM

Jamario missed out on the finals by one point. Had one of Dawkins or Nique just given him a nine...

You absolutely right 'saurus! Green shouldn't of been in the finals and Jamario's first dunk was beautiful. But Moon's mistake was the using the tape and needing two tries to complete his 2nd dunk. That's what hurt him and prevented him from going to the finals.

moremilk · 02-17-2008, 12:49 PM

howard was the winner before the contest started, I think it's quite clear. They had to leave jamario out of the final round, because he would have probably won the public vote. It was almost funny how moon got 44 for dunking from the exact same spot as howard who got 50 (and didn't even dunk it ...). And his first dunk? So much better than the superman dunk. And I'm sure in the final he would have blown everybody away - I guess Charles knew what he was talking about. Howard HAD to win for some obscure reason - so that was that.

pimpery · 02-17-2008, 03:49 PM

And Al Gore is the real president... its all a conspiracy to keep Moon down!!

Anyways, am i the only one that thinks Moon is getting a big head and acting better then he is these days? His awww shucks attitude was annoying enough, now he thinks he is a star... wake up Jamario!!

moremilk · 02-18-2008, 02:23 PM

so you think that howard's superman dunk was clearly better than moon's last dunk?

pimpery · 02-18-2008, 09:23 PM

I think Howards behind the backboard dunk was better then any dunk Moon did, i think Howard was overall amazing and having mad fun with it. I dont know what to make of the superman "dunk" i mean it is harder to do that then actually dunk it, but i dunno, im sure it wasnt on purpose, but some ppl say if u above the rim when u put it in, its a dunk, either way its a sick poster.

moremilk · 02-19-2008, 09:59 AM

but he took off much close to the basket than moon did. His first dunk was good - but igoudala had a harder dunk 2 years ago and didn't get 50.

MangoKidHoops · 02-19-2008, 10:10 AM

Is it just me, but did that Superman dunk suck ass? I mean, he threw the ball into the net - isn't that considered a shot rather than a dunk? It was like a straight hook. Jamario just should have taken off 2 feet behind the mine and threw it into the net like Howard did. That shit was fixed.

I think it's just you...that dunk was super impressive...especially for a guy as big as Howard!

MangoKidHoops · 02-19-2008, 10:40 AM

He threw the fackin ball into the net. So what? This isn't handball. I think everyone just got a hard-on for D12 and decided to give it to him. He was what? A foot and a half from the net? That wasn't impressive at all. Sorry. The sticker dunk he did last year and the first dunk off the back of the backboard were MUCH better.

**Acie** · 02-19-2008, 10:43 AM

I didn't think that dunk was all they made it to be. He put tape down closer than Moon, took off a foot past it too, threw it in and still got tens. The bottom line is Dwight Howard will be a household name and someone the NBA looks to push as one of it's marquee players for years and Jamario won't, so it makes no sense to have him win.

Preach on. I like Gerald Green's cupcake blowout dunk a lot more. That was fun.
