Do you think the judges favored Nate Robinson in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest?

i dont think so. both are great dunkers but i think the execution of the dunk was better. and nates dunk ideas really great plus the fact that spud webb was also there.

Stephon Marbury is currently the best player on the Knicks, but in the future I think that Nate Robinson (A 5'8" Rookie PG out of Washington), and Channing Frye (A 7' center out of Arizona) will bond and lead this organization in a better direction.

Best player is LBJ. The best dunker officially is Nate Robinson. But other than that...look at what VC has done. Thrown the ball of the shot clock in a game. People are scared to do that in a dunk compitition

I'm not a Gator fan, but they totally dominated everyone they played against in this tournament (Georgetown lost to them by 4, but no one else came within single digits).\n\nThe championship game was over less than halfway through the first half. UCLA brought nothin'.\n\nI don't know if anyone on Florida can hit a 12 foot shot from the baseline, but they sure can dunk and they sure can shoot them threes...\n\nThey have an excellent chance to repeat next year, as they are young, and I don't think any of their underclassmen will be going to the NBA next year...\n\nI haven't checked the record books, but it seems like the Gators had one of the most dominating runs in recent tournament history.

What I'll remember most about the Men's 2006 Tournament was the unparalled parity that existed.  No #1 seeds reaching the Final Four?!  Amazing, especially given the talent level and coaching experience behind the top four seeds.\n\nWe may be at a pinnacle in college basketball whereby the traditional powerhouse clubs and the so called mid-majors are on equal playing ground in terms of competitiveness.  Look at George Mason's run through the tournament, notching wins over Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State, and UConn.  Amazing.\n\nThe Jordan Effect seems to have migrated, partially infiltrated the game of collge basketball, whereby teams try to win with players instead of teams (ie. Duke, UConn, Gonzaga).  Teams like George Mason, Wichita State, UCLA, and definitely Florida (with their well balanced scoring) showed that teams still win games, and championships.\n\nI hope this tournament makes an impression on the powerhouse teams about what it takes to win a championship, it's not the recruits as much as it is overall team play.  Plus with the NBA rule of not drafting high school ballers anymore, I expect the parity to start to skew again.

They are invited to participate in the dunk contest by the same people who decide who will participate in All-Star weekend. Usually the committee watches them throughout the year and decides on who will provide the most entertainment.

Sometimes I do. Sure he helps the team out but he's getting too much. They picked Shaq because he would be a major "presence" at the Olympics, but didn't pick Allen Iverson who works so much harder....

Probably Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans. I saw him play in a celebrity basketball game at the Cortez Hankton NFL Celebrity Weekend at Texas Southern University. He had some amazing dunks. Marcus Stroud of the Jacksonville Jaguars was there and he can get up there pretty good for a big man.

Actually, I saw Candice Parker dunk twice yesterday in the Tennesee game.  Frankly, I don't understand why the women's game doesn't get more attention.  I guess people value dunks over actual basketball skill these days.

I think that they should have a cap on the number of attempts you can have in order to succeed at a dunk. Taking twenty attempts is completely ridiculous. Personally, I think Andre Iguodola was far more consistent and his dunks were at least the equal of Nate's, so I believe Andre was the more deserving winner.

i think he should have won  the dunk competition yes he is good. he should get alot of respect because i think hes a pretty good player.

Not J.J. Redick! Don't compare them just because they are both white.\n\nWith that said... the two I think are like him are Mike Gansey of West Virginia and Adam Haluska of Iowa. Yes, I know they are both white too, but they are athletic, slightly undersized guards who can rebound and score like Sura can.\n\nI have always admired Sura's game and I hope he recovers from his injury to play again.
