i saw the highlights of the dunk contest and was very upset that nate robinson won, they act like no one under 6 feet tall has ever dunked before, i am only 5'7, two inches shorter than robinson (and im sure his wingspan probably ads another two inches) and can get rim and even dunked a tennis ball once, yes i know this is not a bball, but im getting back into shape and i am going to work to try to dunk a ball, it will be a victory for all us short white guys out there, has anyone out there ever dunked a ball before, other than on those nerf hoops that hang from your bedroom door

that movie is amazing but i absolutely hate it when people say that, my roomate was black and 3 inches taller than me, and he couldnt even touch rim, he was probably a good two inches below it, and hey, billy just missed those dunks, maybe he would have hit them if gloria stopped pressuring him about that money she owed the soluki (?) brothers

I could touch the rim when I was 5'10", played basketball every day and was in shape. Now I'm 6'0", haven't played in 2 years, and am not "in shape", so I dunno.

i dont like the whole jump over a chair/ball rack/person etc., they are jumping that high to dunk anyway, all you basically have to do is jump to dunk and open your legs

36 second keg stands totally justify that.
I'm 5'11" and can only touch the rim.

Me too. And I'm like Redick at the line, I had a psycho coach in middle school/high school who wouldn't let us start unless we were amazing free throw shooters. We'd practice that like crazy every single practice.

1. nate rob is 5'6'', maybe 5'7'' - he's listed at 5'9'', but it's a total joke, he's not an inch above 5'7'', and i've had classes with him and I'd go so far as to say he is 5'6'' tops. Even every single announcer calls him 5'7''.

2. nate rob has a 48 inch vertical. Michael Jordan's was 42.


So hush about "being upset nate rob won." It IS a big deal for a guy of that size, and he didn't "just" dunk, he did some fucking insane things for being that short. Congrats on being 5'7'' and being able to grab rim - big deal, seriously.

I could touch rim in 9th grade - which was the last time I played competitive basketball. I was 5'9ish. I was also 180 pounds then.

Now I'm 6', 225 and I rarely play basketball. But I actually think I'm going to start playing again in my quest to lose weight and whip my ass into shape between now and June.

You're still being a douche when every single writer in the sports world agrees he a) was given a gift, b) was not the winner of the competition.

He went to UDub, big fucking deal. Get over the bias and at least look at the obvious. It's over, he won, but he shouldn't have.

every single writer is more like 3, and he CLEARLY deserved to win. Igoudala had the best dunk, NO QUESTION. But it came down to the final dunks, Nate Rob came up with something new, and AI couldn't come up with anything. His final 2 dunks were rehashed and weak, and it cost him the title. It takes 4 great dunks to win....not 2. I love Nate Rob but even if I didn't like him it's still clear to me that he deserved to win. That's why other users agree with me. Anyways...

Like THREE? Dude.. EVERY writer (google it if you don't believe me) is talking about how botched it was and that Nat Robinson shouldn't have won. I have not read a SINGLE article that said differently.

people love contraversy. Hell, it's the only reason Skip Bayless has a job. Of course there are going to be far less people defending the winner - this is the same concept we saw after the super bowl. Everyone was clammering about how Seattle got screwed for days. Still....do you really think AI deserved to win with those last 2 dunks? He missed a few himself, and they were pretty rehashed.
