Robinson will compete against three first-time entrants – Boston's Gerald Green, who is an alumnus of the NBA Development League, Orlando’s Dwight Howard and Chicago’s Tyrus Thomas – for this year's title.

This is going to be so lame! I hope Robinson kills them all.

BravesRule22 · 02-16-2007, 12:33 PM

This is going to be AWFUL

Gerald Green should retire from the NBA if he doesnt absolutely just run away with the championship

Nate got lucky last year, Iggy was robbed

Not the best of names...
I am a Bulls fan, but I hope he does bad because he said he wanted the bonus....

I think Nate will repeat again, the guy is amazing....
Expect Howard to be decent and Gerald Green- no comment

The Howard sticker was great. SHouldve gotten tens across the board. I waslooking forward to seeing him vs Green in the final.

Agree'd that Dwight dunk should have been 10's

Dude got up to 12 feet 6 inches......

Insane

Dwight Howard is listed at 6'11''. His wingspan is probably an additional 3 feet, which gives him a 10 foot reach when standing on the ground. That means he only needed a 2'6'' vertical leap to plant the sticker on the backboard. I don't consider a 2'6'' vertical leap to be that impressive.

Compare that to Gerald Green who jumped over 5'6'' Nate Robinson on one dunk, and took off only a couple feet beyond the free-throw line on another.

The Green Dunk over the table was quite insanse....what a leaping point!

Green clearly devered to win, at least the Celtics are winning!

TheAJx · 02-19-2007, 12:35 AM

The next great dunk will be someone grabbing the top of the backboard, doing a one handed pullup, and slamming it on the way down.

Also, a 30 inch vertical for a 7 foot guy IS impressive.

The next great dunk will be the 360 from the foul line...IMO anyway

Who was the tallest winner of the Dunk contest?

BravesRule22 · 02-19-2007, 05:58 PM

Larry Nance was 6'10, he would be my guess
