Post Body

2011

This one I haven't seen either, so hopefully it's good.

Participants:

Jeremy Evans (Jazz)

Chase Budinger (Rockets)

Paul George (Pacers)

Derrick Williams (T-Wolves)

Disclaimer: Found only highlights, can't find actual scores. Would love someone to let me know. This one will be short since it's only the clips of the dunks.

First Round:

Chase Budinger:

Dunks over P. Diddy in homage to White Man Can't Jump? Didn't push off much, but put a hand on him still. Nitpicking but I don't like that.

Wasn't crazy, wasn't bad. Was very bland.

My Score: 40

Jeremy Evans:

Throws it up, catches it as it's about to bounce in already, and dunks it behind the head. Does that count?

I guess so:

My Score: 38

Paul George:

Dunks over two teammates including Roy Hibbert. Ugh, George, you pushed off a tiny tiny bit.

My Score: 45

Derrick Williams riding in on a motorcycle driven by T-Wolves.

He windmills over the motorcycle. After the George dunk over Hibbert, this isn't as good.

My Score: 43

2nd Dunk

Chase Budinger:

Windmill from right inside the free throw line. Again, kinda bland, but not bad. Kinda the same dunk as last time though.

My Score: 38. (Total: 78)

Jeremy Evans:

Jumps over IS THAT GORDON HAYWARD? HE LOOKS SO YOUNG! who is sitting in a chair.

Didn't even touch him. WAIT IT WAS TWO BASKETBALLS?

My Score: 48 (best dunk so far IMO) (Total: 86)

Paul George:

Lights out, he's glowing in the dark. Pretty damn cool. Black lights everywhere. 360 windmill!?

My Score: 49! Total 94

Derrick Williams:

Ricky Rubio throws it off the side of the hoop, Williams catches it and 360 two handed slam. I love 360s.

My Score: 46 (Total: 89)

Totals:

Paul George (94)

Derrick Williams (89)

Jeremy Evans (86)

Chase Budinger (78)

Cedric Ceballos is walking on the court in the final round. Doing the blindfold dunk in the past. I guess now someone else is doing it.

It is...Chase Budinger? Wait, how is he in the finals Are all 4 in the final round?

Chase does it behind the head with a blindfold wearing Cedric's jersey.

Okay, I think it's a cheap trick that people can see through it, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say he couldn't see.

My Score: 47

Wait, Jeremy Evans is dunking? Why are my 3rd and 4th place in the finals?

Kevin Hart is a mailman delivering Karl Malone's Jersey.

He does the dunk where his hand is relaxing behind his hand as he jumps over Kevin Hart (who is like 5'1, nevermind, Google tells me 5'4).

My Score: 46: It was fun, and I'm feeling generous.

Paul George:

He jumps from one side, slams the glass with one hand, goes around, and dunks it with the other.

I had Paul George winning, now I'm not sure.

My Score: 38

Derrick Williams:

Off the glass, two hand catch and a two handed slam. Crickets on my end. This wasn't how to end a dunk contest.

Score: 34. Absolute worst dunk I've seen in the past few years.

If I add all 3 dunks together, final score:

Paul George and Jeremy Evans: 132

Chase Budinger: 125

Derrick Williams: 123

It should go to George, but we shall see. Fan vote again...sigh.

1st Place: Jeremy Evans with 29% of the vote

2nd Place: Chase Budinger with 28% of the vote.

I dunno guys, I feel that George got robbed of at least 2nd. This one really let me down. Like almost worst I've seen.
