I figured I'm sitting here watching the dunk contest, why don't I do a live blog of it.
Sure, why not.
Newer posts will be at the bottom. I don't feel like putting a timestamp on each update.
-Michael Jordan is the toughest judge so far. After the first round Gerald Green had a 48 and Nate Robinson had a 45. Green has a real cool original dunk where his teammate and him ran up the baseline and his teammate tossed the ball off the side of the backboard and he caught it and dunked.
- Tyrus Thomas had a nice dunk where he jumped over Ben Gordon and slammed it with one hand. He also managed to rip the net off of the rim on the dunk so now we have a delay while the put up a new a net.
-The net is fixed. Dwight Howard put a sticker on the top of the backboard during his dunk. That's crazy. He caught the ball from his teammate under the net and slammed it with his right hand while he slammed a sticker on the top of the backboard with his left hand.
-It's a conspiracy for Nate Robinson to win again this year. He just grabbed the ball from his teammate holding the ball up and did a 180 and slammed it in. It was not better than Howard's dunk, but the judges scored it higher because Nate is the little guy.
-Now Nate is standing in the lane ready to be jumped over. That was a sweet dunk, Green just dunked over Nate Robinson.
-A pretty cool dramatic commercial where the guy dunks at the end of the game to win it. I think it was for the new Lebron shoe. It was like the Space Jam winning dunk where Mike dunked over all the aliens, except without the arm extending part.
-Gerald Green and Nate Robinson are the top dunkers to advance. Dwight Howard got robbed. I don't think Howard made it and that's just because he's 7feet tall and they wanted more from him. Nate is going to win it just cause he's the little guy, also because if you ask me there's a knicks conspiracy (just kidding, i think).
-A pretty generic dunk by Nate, grabbed the rim then dunked it with the other hand.
-Green caught the ball passed to him from behind the backboard and dunked it with two hands. The timing is very tough for a dunk like that.
Now puts the pressure on Nate to really do something.
-Nate is trying to throw it off the backboard catch it and do a 360 dunk. 4 tries and he hasn't done it yet.
-He is tired. He finally got it on his 10th try. Green only needs a 40 to win.
-Green jumped from about two steps in front of the foul line over a box and slammed it. He is the winner.
-That's it for the dunk contest. The first round with all 4 dunkers was better. I wanted to say that they should have more dunkers in the contest but watching this final round I see that these dunks can be really tiring cause they seemed pretty tired. I wish they could make it longer so we could see more dunks.
Another thing is that it's important that you score a lot of points on every dunk. You should be able to get one good dunk to be a good base and then in the next round go for a crazy dunk that no one has ever done. The dunkers have to be kind of smart about each of their dunks to make sure they get enough points each time.

I nominate this post as the most times I have ever read dunk in a 3 minute period.
I don't like Nate, just because he didn't deserve shit last year...Iggy owned him
Yea as I'm live blogging I'm not so much worried about using the same word twice or finding synonyms for what I mean and reading that post again that's pretty obvious.
And I agree with the Nate dislike because of last year.
Also apparently Dwight Howard wanted the rim raised to 12 feet because thats how high he can dunk. He can still 360s and other great dunks with the rim at 12 feet. I thought he got the shaft during the competition, he just made it look too easy.
