They should just get a trampoli

ne and have the mascots do the dunk contest. It might be watchable then.

Chase Budinger and D-will are awful picks.

Paul George is the only great dunker he should win in a landslide.

 

[Diddy1122]

Shumpert will win because he'll have LINcredible tossing him alley-oops. That alone will be worth probably 5 points in the judges eyes.

lol garbage

 

[bleacherbum54]

I just read the rules and regardless of best dunker Iman Shumpert is gonna win this format is really stupid.

 

[Scoot26]

A new format will be implemented for the 2012 competition. The contest will consist of only one round and each competitor will execute three dunks. Fan voting will open after all four players have completed their first dunk. Previously, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest consisted of two rounds, with the first round scored by a panel of judges which determined two finalists.
Beginning this year, only fan voting will be utilized in determining the winner and voting also will expand to social media. For the first time ever, fans will be able to cast votes on Twitter by posting a corresponding letter assigned to each dunker along with the hashtag #SpriteSlam. Since 2008, fans have determined the winner of the Sprite Slam Dunk through SMS TXT and voting on NBA.com as part of the "They Dunk. You Decide" campaign.

Haha, wow.

 

[Diddy1122]

Yup, like I said, Shumpert will win for sure.

 

[Mr. Cub]

They have pretty much destroyed this event. They should instead replace it and have fans vote on 8 players to match up in four 1 on 1 games. But I bet too many of these bitchy players wouldn't dare put their reputations on the line. Imagine LeBron vs KD, Blake vs Dwight, Rose vs Westbrook, Kobe vs Wade etc.

Fan voting is bullshit!

I would maybe count the fan voting result as one judge and part them with 4 real judges, so you have 5 votes in the end.

Only fans is just stupid as hell!

Yeah, it really is. I mean if a dude IS a fan favorite or the hometown favorite he could win with three misses and a layup. And right now Jeremy Lin could win the dunk contest just because of fan voting being the culprit.

[BigP50]

You guys obviously don't have a fucking clue of what you're talking about. Budinger was a star volleyball player in high school, on top of being one of the top basketball recruits in the country. Dude has major hops and is a hell of an athlete. I'm from the same part of San Diego that Chase is from, and I went to some of his high school games as well as the McDonald's All-American game he won co-mvp of. They had a dunk contest before the game and he was hands down the best dunker, and this was the year of Brook and Robin Lopez, Kevin Durant, Greg Oden etc.

 

[Cloud 9]

Ok, now that I've said that. This is a sick lineup. All of these dudes can really get up there. George should take this though.
