Dunk Comp


Giannis Antetokounmpo,Zach LaVine, Victor Oladipo and Mason Plumlee


revised rules for the competition this year:

* JUDGES – There will be five judges. For each dunk, a score from 6-10 will be given by each judge, resulting in a maximum score of 50 and a minimum score of 30.

* ATTEMPTS PER DUNK – For each scored dunk in both rounds (Dunks #1 and #2 in the first round and Dunks # 1 and #2 in the final round), each dunker will be limited to three attempts to complete a given dunk.

* ATTEMPT DEFINTION – An attempt is defined as the player controlling the basketball and moving it toward the rim.

* OFFICIATING – A referee will judge whether a dunk is considered a made dunk or a missed dunk. Made dunks cannot be “replaced”, even if the dunker has remaining attempts.

* PROPS – Use of any props or other people in any way during the slam dunk competition must be approved in advance of the competition by the NBA Basketball Operations department.

The three point contest is better the the dunk comp lineup! Possible best I've seen ever.

Curry, Klay, Korver, Wesley Matthews, J.J. Redick, and Belinelli.

Quite the collection of shooters. Has happened a few years though, I think "wow, guys are gonna kill it this year, someone surely to get the record for highest score or go close" then it fizzles out, couple guys get like 15 points and Belinelli wins......

Hope it's entertaining this year!!

JR should've won that in 05

 

[WoobieZarz]

Still shits me there's only 4 dunkers, but 6 shooters!

LMAO at the prior approval for use of props...

 

[Coopz05]

It baffles me that you can only score a dunk between 6-10. Why not just go for 1-5?

I know there's nostalgia behind the "perfect 50" score, but if a dunk is 1 or a 3, it's a 1 or a 3.

Basically; I could go into a dunk comp and waste the clock, shoot from half court on every attempt (miss of course), then still score a 30 out of 50....

Do they get asked or put their names down? JR is too streaky, only good when he is on a "hot" streak", apart from today's game, since joining the cavs he's been pretty good.

I'd still go with Smith, head at the rim dunk over Kenyon and sick one in the Nique jersey but no way Amare should've been in the final over J.R.
