Let's see the NBA players do this in the dunk contest:


if they felt like it, there is no doubt they could easily... seriously, no one GIVES A FUCK about some black dude who cant do much but dunk and play streetball...

Wow. Ignorance/stupidity at it's finest. Not even the best NBA players can do what Air Up There can and that's a fact.

THERE IS A REASON THEY DO THE DUNK CONTEST... and to date, NO ONE IN THE DUNK CONTEST HAS DONE WHAT AUT has done.

Do you honestly think they don't give it their all in the dunk contest?

Furthermore, if NO ONE GAVE A SH!T, why the hell does the NBA pay these "black guys who can't do much but dunk" to entertain the crowd?

Are you mentally deficient? Don't worry, that's a retorical question. There have been many dunks in the contest more impressive than the one you .gifed. Besides, who cares about dunks anyway. There are far more athletic plays manifested in an NBA game on a daily basis.

prove me wrong... you are one of the most ignorant, head up his ass, posters, who has no actual skill sets within the sports that you comment about.

I dunno that's kinda harsh to say man, I saw the video he shot of himself shadow boxing at the b-ball court. It's definitely the best shadow boxing on a b-ball court video by an ATOT member I've ever seen...

Proven wrong. Could've easily messed up his elbow.

how could he have fucked up his elbow doing that? that is no more risky than just dunking (which in general can fuck your wrist up).

and again, when you show me some basketball skills, ill take your word for knowing shit about basketball

well, seeing as how i haven't played basketball since i slightly tore my PCL... i can't tell you what skill i have left in that sport... same goes for Tennis... i don't give a fuck about MMA so i have no skill there, football i have a decent arm and hands...

and yes, i would willingly challenge you to a game of basketball, provided you dont get all shadow boxy on me and play cheap like im pretty sure a white trash piece of shit like yourself would.

So you just proved yourself wrong, because NBA players take risks all the time from dunking because it can mess their wrists up.

I actually agree with mikemike.

Why do you think Jordan didn't compete in dunk contests later in his career?

What about Lebron? Or any other of the big name players today? They do not even participate because they risk injury and some of them humiliation against lesser known players in the league.

Great dunk, but Manu's questionable, yet awesome, charge to clinch the game later on was even better. :awe:

Great game.

And still the best record in the NBA

Ahh the Spurs, when everyone has given up on them, they still come back for more. All this winning and Timmy has played the least minutes he's ever played before. Pop saving him for the Playoffs as usual and making stars out of no-names.

Wrists? Really, wrists hurt from dunking? When you finally are able to dunk, let me know how your wrists feel.

Unless you're an idiot and just jam your arms wildly against the rim, your wrists never get hurt. Even on a dunk attempt. Once your arms get to that point and you begin to pull down, you absolutely do not push your arm forward during dunking that will result in your wrists banging against the rim.

It is possible to have your wrists hurt if you twist them while dunking, and then hang on the rim. However, it is my experience that if you do not have a level grip on the rim, you just slip right off from sweat and moisture if someone pulls down on you.

Fingers get jammed at times if you lose control of the ball, but your wrists are the least likely used part of your body that will get hurt. You naturally should be palming the ball and will aim for the palm of your hand to land horizontally on the rim, grasping with the thumb(s). To do otherwise you have extremely poor form and are trying to hurt yourself. I'm 100000000x more worried about coming down on my ankle wrong (again, after tearing ligaments 11mo ago) after a dunk attempt than my wrists getting hurt.

you can injure your wrist dunking, and it isn't uncommon from coming down on the rim to hard with your had a little further into the rim than you assume... i brought the point up, so i will defend it, however it's not THAT common, and very rarely (if ever) do you break/tear something... just a bruise.

In other NBA news...god I hate the Spurs. There's really not that many teams I dislike in all of sports, but the spurs... so much to hate.

But yeah, dunk of the year so far.

the NBA pays them because they can play basketball, not just dunk.

no one's going to watch multiple 2-3hour dunk contests each week. people obviously do watch competitive games of basketball between skilled teams.
