​

I'm excited: I don't know who will be in it (I'm guessing Nate Robinson again). LeBron said he'd be in this years, but I highly doubt it.

Shout out to u/rmeq who wants me to grade out of 50 instead of 10. Will do from now on.

​

Contestants:

DeMar DeRozan (From Raptors)

​

Shannon Brown (LA Lakers)

Gerald Wallace (Bobcats)

Nate Robinson (NY Knicks)

​

(No LeBron. Shouldn't be surprised)

​

Reggie, Kenny, and Barkley as broadcasters.

​

Judges: (Almost all previous Dallas Mavericks)

Mark Aguirre,

Rolando Blackman

Derek Harper

Dominque Wilkins

Spud Webb

​

Round 1:

DeMar DeRozan. First dunk he had was in his 9th grade he said. Jesus.

​

He's going to dunk from behind the basket, runs up under the basket, and between his legs and reverses it two handed.

​

My Score: 44

​

Solid dunk, I'm impressed. Good for a first dunk to warm up the night.

​

Actual Score: 42

​

Shannon Brown:

​

Career High: 7.8 PPG this season.

​

Aww Kobe. Still makes me sad.

​

He runs the court, launches from a big step inside free throw line, switches hands in air and dunks it.

​

It reads a lot more impressive than it was.

​

My Score: 38. I wasn't impressed.

​

Actual Score: 37. Hey, the judges agreed with me.

​

Gerald Wallace:

Misses a clutch behind the head. 2nd attempt gets it.

​

Spike Lee looks bored after that one.

​

My Score: 39. This is a dunk contest, not just a relaxed dunk time. This SHOULD BE better.

​

Actual Score: 38.

​

Nate Robinson:

​

I'm dying, Charles Barkley notices Nate have a Gatorade pouch gel and asks

"Have you noticed that Gatorade doesn't work for players who suck?"

Dammit Charles.

​

Nate gets ready. misses his first attempt. Bounces it off the ground, windmill two handed slam.

This first round has been a let down so far. It seems like it'll be the bottom of the barrel contest so far. Fingers crossed it gets better.

My Score: 43

​

Actual Score: 44.

What is with the judges scoring one point above mine?

​

2nd Dunk:

​

I'm not a fan of fan votes for the winner. It kinda is just a let down, but whatever.

​

Shannon Brown:

Kobe is assisting him. Throws it up, Shannon catches it and 2 handed slam.

​

My Score: 35. I haven't seen any creativity. Total: 73

​

Actual Score: 41 (WHAT?) Total 78.

​

Gerald Wallace:

​

Flip Murray helps. Kenny says someone needs to bring it. He's upset how boring this is. I don't feel so bad now. Reggie says he's gonna get his sneakers and show them how it's done. Dwight Howard is laughing, fans look bored.

​

Gerald Wallace catches it, goes around the hoops and throws it in. Even he looks bored.

​

My Score: 40. (Total: 70)

​

Actual Score: 40 (Total: 78)

​

DeMar DeRozan:

​

Sonny Weems arrives again to help. Again, WHO??

​

Throws it off the side of the backboard as he runs behind and catches it, windmill slam. Finally, a GOOD DUNK!

My Score: 47 It made me happy to see some excitement. (Total 91)

​

Actual Score: 50 (I think they were just so happy to see a good dunk) (Total: 92)

​

Nate Robinson:

​

With Danilo Gallinari.

Danilo throwing it up and Nate catches it for a 360. This was just a dunk to get into a final.

​

Fan Votes winner

​

Nate 1st Dunk

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders here. Nate behind the hoop. Tries to jump in, windmill slam. Misses first two attempts. Changes it to outside the 3 point line, throws it up catches the bounce, two hand dunk.

​

My Score: 38. Boring. This contest has blew chunks.

​

Demar 1st Dunk:

w/ Sonny Weems.

​

Weems throws it off the backboard and DeMar jumps over him to dunk it. First one misses barely. 2nd goes in easily.

​

My Score: 41.

Demar should win this. This dunk should've been higher but he pushed off! I hate that!

​

Nate's final dunk:

​

Cheerleaders are back. He's not doing anything with them though.

​

Throws it off the backboard, catches it, reverse dunk with two hands.

​

Probably his best dunk tonight.

​

My Score: 46. The clutch gave him an extra couple points. Nate has 3 dunks all season so far apparently.

​

Demar Final Dunk:

​

He's going back far, asking people to move.

​

Free throw line dunk, but he jumped a foot inside. Missed. He tries the second time, inside the line, clutch double hand dunk. Commentators just said DeMar lost this with this dunk.

​

My Score: 36

​

Final Score:

DeMar 77

Nate: 84.

Actual winner: I'm with Charles,

"Maybe Nobody will win." This was a stinker

​
