I'm watching a chinese language broadcast and I have no idea what's going on and I think I prefer it this way
― 龜, Sunday, 16 February 2014 03:50 (twelve years ago)
As far as I can tell there is a dunk free for all going on
let's have the judges hold up ipads
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 February 2014 03:52 (twelve years ago)
John wall looks so pained to be there
― 龜, Sunday, 16 February 2014 03:54 (twelve years ago)
is it the dunk contest that's on? the dunk contest is, and has always been, lame-o.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Sunday, 16 February 2014 03:57 (twelve years ago)

― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 February 2014 03:58 (twelve years ago)

NBA Marketing Genius #1: You know what drives a crowd wild during a game?
NBA Marketing Genius #2: A last second game winning shot?
NBA Marketing Genius #1: A breakaway jam with lots of style. Pure showmanship! The fans eat that shit up.
NBA Marketing Genius #2: Yeah, ok. So?
NBA Marketing Genius #1: Picture this, dude. (makes staccato gestures, as if placing each word on an imaginary marquee) All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest!
NBA Marketing Genius #2: How would that work?
NBA Marketing Genius #1: Fuck if I know. But it sounds great, you gotta admit.

― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:04 (twelve years ago)
Same difference. It's marketing geniuses all the way down.
― Aimless, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:06 (twelve years ago)
this has been an embarrassment
― k3vin k., Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:09 (twelve years ago)

Dunk of the contest right there
― 龜, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:14 (twelve years ago)
helped build the popularity of MJ, Nique, Dr. J etc
And here I thought those guys were popular because of their monster play in game situations.
― Aimless, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:14 (twelve years ago)
Dr. J winning the ABA slam dunk contest was a huge deal and a big cultural moment for basketball.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:16 (twelve years ago)
basketball wasn't super popular, 80's funk contests were a big deal in making household names out of the rising stars that defined the game for sure
― Clay, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:18 (twelve years ago)
*dunk
Lol 'funk contest'
― 龜, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:18 (twelve years ago)
this is a goddamn fiasco, it might be worse than the wheel of dunking fortune
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:19 (twelve years ago)
yeah this was an absolute failure
― Clay, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:20 (twelve years ago)
what did dunking need? TEAMWORK!
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:20 (twelve years ago)
i liked the team dunking, y'all haters
― Nhex, Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:37 (twelve years ago)

Wow I count 2.5 power forwards 3 wings and 3 guards (and wade was once nominally a point so it's almost 3 pgs)
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Monday, 17 February 2014 01:27 (twelve years ago)
Heh I forgot to count the other half of Lebron as a wing w/e he is everything
