Do you think the judge in the slam dunk contest cheated Andre Iguodala?

Not at all.  Iguodala got props on his hard dunks, Robinson did too.  AI should have known better then to come out and do a dunk like that to try and get a 48.  Its been done, A LOT.  Should have tried something harder.  I think it was judged well!

Yes i agree. I have already had a real problem watching NBA because of when the lakers won two championships by drawing fouls and running over people(shaq). Now that i have see first hand the tyranny of the NBA refs, why would i wanna watch a game where the commissioner fines people for no reason. (example Dirk: he was mad at himself no reason to fine him) The commissioner is getting ridiculous but i do agree with fining Mark Cuban, GET OFF THE COURT. \n\nThe refs call fouls for the stars. This fact was very obvious for "the next Jordan" in the whole series but especially last night where at least two times no one touched him at all and he still got the call. It is the same for Kobe and others. I loved seeing the Pistons beat the lakers, they were a true team just like the mavs spurs. It seems the NBA just wants money but no big surprise there.\n\nIf you want a real game I suggest go play pick up ball or watch College because you won't find it in the NBA in any more.

have you seen vince carter dunking over (literally) 7'2 french center frederic weis in sydney olympic finals? i mean, that was the most amazing. batman could never do that and spider-man would be intimidated just for an attempt. i have not seen it before and probably would never it again, that is if vinsanity won't change his mind. i have seen dunk over people and that happens during all-star weekend like, nate-over-spud, josh-over-k-mart etc. etc. but that happened when the person is standing or sitting stationary. here you can see that vince is in full speed for a fastbreak, made the dribble, but instead of pulling a cross-over, he set loose the rocket launcher in his legs and then flew over weis. swoosh. wow. aahh simply amazing.

The referees deciding games is driving me crazy.  I can't believe they called Dirk for a foul on that last play.  They just won't let the players play.  Sometimes I can't figure out what constitutes a foul in the NBA and I've been watching games since I was about 10 years old.

No. Sometimes there are exceptions to rules, and I believe this should be one of them. Even though nobody was hurt, Davis saw someone threaten his wife, so should he be fined a quarter million for helping his family? I don't think so. Stern needs to step up and keep Davis on the court. No matter what the rules say about players entering the stands, you cannot fine someone for protecting their family.

It might have looked sissy, but he has one of the best, if not THE best freethrow shooting percentages in NBA history.\nI'd go with what works than what looks better.

*** He was the one in violation of his own labor agreement.*** \n\n\nWhen a player CHOOSES to play for the NBA, he chooses to;\nsign, agree to, and play by the CBA as negotiated by the NBA players union.  \n\nA Collective Bargaining Agreement;  A contract with terms that both the NBA and the Players have chosen to follow.  \nIf one of the rules in the CBA are to control your speech on or off the court, you have 3 choices.  1) Control your speech, 2) not control your speech and pay the fine as negotiated in the CBA, 3) Do not play. \n\nThe player may file a grievance.  But he has no grounds to sue, he was the one in violation of his own labor agreement.  \n\nhttp://www.nbpa.com/cba_articles.php - a link to the NBA's CBA \n\nShould an actor that signs a "confidentiality agreement" over the details of his next film be able to sue for free speech?

Because it was in game 2 (I think) that Shaq elbowed Stackhouse across the nose and Jerry had to have three stitches to close the cut. I doubt Stackhouse expected to be suspended, I think Shaq gets preferred treatment. I mean, he's a great player and all, if you are going to throw elbows, expect the same in return.\n\nI'm a Piston's fan, so I really don't care. Your right-it would have been a he*l of a fight !!!

I also think it's a disgrace, especially in light of who they picked ahead of him -- Shane Battier, Gilbert Arenas, Greg Oden (high school kid)?  Give me a break.  While some people may not agree with certain aspects of his personality, nobody can deny that he plays with a whole lot of heart.  Practically, he presents matchup challenges to any team.  While his team didn't get it done last time, D. wade and Lebron James were on the team as well last time, and they both got invites.  AI, future hall of famer, doesn't deserve this snub.

Yes of course it should all be taken away if he had the agent contacts (I think he did).  It doesn't matter if he is the best ever to play the game, he shouldn't get a free ride past the rules and ethics.  Think if it was somebody else from the same team that sat on the bench all year you wouldn't think twice about taken away all his games and his national title.  Just because he is a super star he shouldn't be able to get out of this.

1-Vince Carter/NEWJERSY NETS\n2-Kobe Bryant/ LA LAKERS\n3-Jason Richardson/ GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS\n4-Tracy Mcgrady/ HOUSTAN ROCKETS\n5-My opinion Andre Iguodala should have won the dunk contest so he is better than Nate Robinson to me. But it is debatable who is number 5 Andre or Nate, their tied.

Iguodala is gonna win it. His dunks are not only acrobatic but are incredibly strong. YOu can see this if you watch just how fast the ball goes through the rim as he dunks. AI 2.0!

I personally think its a big shame to the game of basketball. A fine will do, but a suspension? on a Championship series? For that? \n\nIt just doesnt make sense.. What was Stack supposed to do? tickle shaq and ask him nicely?\n\nReferee Bevetta is who he is, a dick...

A lot of people agree that it was Emanuel Augustus' fight with Courtney Burton. Aside of the referees calls, the decision by two of the judges for the hometown favorite was way off those of most boxing fans. The judges had it 99-90 and 97-92 for Burton and 98-94 for Augustus (most agreed with that one). The Michigan Commission was disgraced by the results and had an investigation to change things around.

yes he did cheat, he ran behind Puyol....Puyol barely touched Henry's chest and Henry fell down pretending to be have been caught in the face....this is simulation/diving. And therefore is cheating.

The guy said from the other board.\n\n"From the NBA rulebook.\nWade jumped from the front court, caught the ball in flight, and landed in the back court. According to the rules, perfectly legal."\n\nI agree with that.
