    Fast forward to 2024, MAC does a dunk never been done before. Jumping over someone clean, letting the ball go and reversing dunking it and gets a 46 by one of the judges… That’s why stars are scared to join the contest and that’s why we lost a good one like Aaron Gordon.

    I think that the NBA needs to do a better job explaining the judging criteria and making sure that they choose guys who will follow it. You can tell that midway through this years contest some official came out and whispered that they aren't supposed to penalize guys who fuck up on their first attempt, because they started giving great scores to dunks that weren't half as good as that one from Mac.

    The media takes every opportunity to blame the players for the quality of the dunk contest, but how about the judges?!? 1. Good dunkers like Gordon get disillusioned after feeling robbed. And players who haven’t done it probably don’t feel it is fun as a result. 2. Their selection is so poor, we don’t get to see more of the best dunkers. Jacob Toppin may have had some good dunks for the next round, but we’ll never know. 3. Being too committed to ‘first try’ is a good way to get unimaginative dunks. Nothing groundbreaking is going to be an easy first-try. If you want to see new dunks, you gotta let them miss a few. Otherwise you will get more (I’m gonna dunk over a new object/person)

    About AG's last dunk: think about how much time you need to hang in the air back to the rim to take the ball behind the head, then all the way down and again up for a reverse dunk

    I know he's made it clear he's never coming back but *man* would I pay to see AG in the dunk contest one last time especially now that he has Jokic as a partner for some potential fire dunks.

    Lavine should have won on the behind the backboard dunk. Gordon had some more amazing dunks throughout, but it was close all the way through, and the fact that after Gordon did a dunk off the side of the backboard then lavine went BEHIND it earned him the victory

    I think this could've been the first dunk contest to have two winners. If not that, then we would've at least gotten 1 or 2 more dunks from Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine if it wasn't for the judges. To sum it up, we were robbed of more dunks lol 🗿

    The fact Lavine got a 50 after imitating AG's dunk with lesser difficulty, he also got 50 for yet another free throw line dunk right after AG jumped over a mascot with both legs over it, sat on the air and dunked that shit. Like at 6'9 or whatever tall he is... Come on man. On AG's double clutch dunk man, when he was trying to come up with something... Mere mortals like us, regular athletes probably TEAR THE SHIT out of their abdomen trying to do that... And there goes Zach, for YET. ANOTHER. free throw line dunk. Which, by the way, NONE of them were actually from the free throw line as he stepped over it every time. AG was creative, powerful and explosive. LaVine was impressive nonetheless but some attempts got repetitive. I absolutely HATE and DESPISE how he got the same score by performing THE SAME dunk AG had just performed... AG had to time his dunk with a mascot on a spinning hoverboard, catch it with one hand and 360. LaVine did the exact same thing but with a self toss and gets the same score? Come one man. AG should've won before they even went into the tie-breaker rounds and even after those rounds I still don't know how he didn't win anyways. Lavine is crazy but man, I remember vividly how the world was so upset that they did AG very dirty.

    Leaving aside all the creativity talks. The first windmill of the 2nd round that Zach did was simply inferior to AG's. And that's 100% the biggest reason for AG to have won the contest.

    Well AG didnt really got robbed in 2016 because him and Lavine performed 2 greatest duno performances at dunk contest and both would feel robbed if they lost,but AG was clearly robbed when D.Wade was a judge when he gave him 9

    You only have a set number of dunks in your bag. When that runs out what can you do in the fly. Typically you have more than enough for the contest...this one you needed a super deep bag

    Lavine's third dunk was just as good because he showed he could do the same dunk, but better. And it WAS better; its way tougher to bounce yourself the ball than have someone slowly rotate so you can easily gauge your timing.

    I will say i think Gordon did have the better collective of dunks as a whole. But... that last dunk shouldve been his first dunk. After all the crazy stuff we saw we see a first round dunk in the last round thats deservedly a sub 50. In this contest it became quantity based since there were so many 50s and unfortunately Gordon chose the wrong time to do a non-50 dunk. A sick dunk and probably a 50 in round 1 or 2 but not in the final round of the best dunk contest in NBA history. He was robbed of a draw in 2020 though that was way more criminal.
