I think that they should have a vote for it.\nthis whole thing about the "rising stars" slam dunk contest was ok when Vince Carter was entering the league, because it was exciting\nnowadays, whenever you watch a dunk contest it's always people that aren't very good players\n\ni think it would be better for the ratings and the fans for them to have a vote for who's in it\nit would be more exciting, and the ratings would go up because everyone would actually know who's in it - not some no-name rookies

Umm don't feel bad Boston fans...you should see how it feels to be a Houston Rockette fans...\n\nComets could win more games in the NBA than Rockets could in WNBA.

It probably is to people who's memories only go as far back as last week.\n\nI do have to say that the first round HAS been a great round to watch, particularly the Lebron and Kobe games.\n\nAlong with some great series, there have been some duds this post-season though...\n\nWay to early to rate these playoffs in the context of history, but if we continue to get games with all these buzzer beater, overtime games, it may end up being the among the most enjoyable playoffs ever, certainly in recent history.\n\nChamberlain/Russell playoff games were probably the best in history, followed by the Magic/Bird matchups of the 80s.  The Bulls never gave us a decent final. Those finals were all over before they started, you KNEW Jordan was going to get EVERY call.

Could be one of many reasons in that on any given day a team can be beat or mental attitiude in that did your team take the underdogs seriously.  Maybe they read in the papers how good they were and just thought it would be a cake walk.

I think Andre should have won. The other guy took 13 or 14 tries to get his dunk off. the dunk over spud web was great but that was the only great thing he did. Everybody knows AI should have won. Andre was almost flawless in the contest. HE should have done something more spectacular for his last dunk, but he was probably thinking that he had to just get a dunk in cuz he already won. Since they cheated he didnt. UGH!!! i think the should invite him back next year

it shouldnt be a big deal.  things like that make teams a tighter unit and make all the players feel their teammates have earned theyre spot

Ok Big Daddy,don't hate on Miami!! I think all teams have their times to win and lose.Every team can't always have a great game.The time comes for everyone.Just like a job.Sometimes you feel like being there,sometimes not.Some days go smooth,others don't don't.So chill on that.I am sure at one point and time,Dallas had someone say the same about them skating by.But I still love ya though.

I'm not really into sports, myself. For some, it's probably just a competetive spirit. Pick a team, root for them. It gives one something to get excited about. In many cases, I also feel that some people (particularly those who get the craziest over sports) are pretty pathetic, and that the concept of ever being extremely proud of something they've done themselves is a lost cause. So they create a substitute, in a sports team, and attach their pride to it. It's ridiculous, but hey, they need something to be excited about, and it sure as hell isn't going to be anything in their lives.

Don't worry about it, I have friends shorter then that, that can dunk. Prove it, let the accusers pay for it. If they really want to know that bad they should have to pay for it.
