Don't see a thread, lock/move if there's a thread already created or if this doesn't belong in the Lounge.
I think Aaron Gordon is going to win the dunk contest. Klay for three-point shooting. John Wall for the skills challenge. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

I'd pick Swaggy, but his form requires a lot of energy.
Deep down, I want Swaggy to win. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I'm not sure if I'm alone here, but I can't stand seeing 7 footers in the dunk contest.
Gordon - Dunk
I Thomas - SKills
Klay - 3
Harden - MVP _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same."

Agreed on "tall guys" dunking. Not as impressive to me when it comes to a contest.
In game dunking is different

A dagger to Laker fans' hearts. Sigh. KP wins the skills challenge. Nice, he did real well too.

Don't understand why DLo wasn't in it. Is he rated so poorly by the general NBA?

Booker did so bad I thought TNT was just showcasing IT before realizing Booker was that far behind that he didn't even show up in the camera view.

He's got incredible skill for a player his size. Never seen a player that big be so comfortable handling and shooting the ball.
ESPN sports science did a segment on him - he has same quickness in terms of getting to the basket dribbling as a very good NBA point guard would.
If he adds a few pounds of muscle and works on his post game - crazy good he can be. Last edited by wolfpaclaker on Sat Feb 18, 2017 5:40 pm; edited 1 time in total

Good for KP
Still remember how poor his reception was at the draft.
