It's on TSN.
Kapono just won the 3 point with a record-tying 25.
I think the Dunk is next.
Really rooting for Moon here.

Honestly one of the best competitions I've seen so far... there have been about eight dunks that could win most years...

Yeah that was a ton of fun. Dwight Howard's dunks were just damn cool. Loved the superman dunk.

Dwight Howard is disgusting, the guy floats in the air.
Oh he also got so high that he threw the ball in the hoop, unreal.

This was much similar to Vince Carters. The competition was great but all of Vinces dunks were unreal, just like Dwight tonight.

Dwight Howard was Vince Carter this year. He set a new pinnacle.
That was just nuts!

I thought the cupcake dunk was crazy, then Howard broke out the cape! Nights like tonight take away that sour taste the Grizzlies left in my mouth.

that cupcake dunk deserved 10's. The judges were the only disappointing part.

We need Ovechkin to take a breakaway with the cape.
NHL is still far behind in the showing off competition

I like the timeclock... I think that was added since Nate Robinson took about five minutes to make one. That's another thing the NHL should use: a guy gets to keep going until his two minutes expire or he scores.

The dunk competition really hit a lull after the Carter contest. JRich did a good job one year but nothing spectacular came out for a while. It is really up to the players to dedicate some time and be creative with this. It was clear this year that all the contestants were trying hard to come up with crazy dunks. Hockey players need to act the same way and then the hockey comp. should be much better.
This was the 1st year for the hockey one too, next year im sure more players will take it seriously, they also now know the score is all on creativity and not getting it in the net. Lastly, goalies probably won't be allowed to pokecheck.

Or how about stop using All star goalies in net. I didn't see Yao Ming or Chris Bosh out there blocking any shots. hehe

The only exception I would throw out right away is the Steve Nash/Amare Stoudemire combo from a few years ago.. You're bang on though, it's all about creativity now, and I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed tonight.

All 4 of Howard's dunks were amazing. I thought his first 3 dunks were better then the 4th though. The Superman dunk was amazing creativity. That was awesome! His 1st one from behind the backboard was unreal. But I thought his other dunk where he tapped the ball of the glass to himself and then dunked was the best actual dunk. Superman was amazing because of the cape and the height but the other dunk was the better dunk imo. Both were 50's though no question. That's pretty close to the best performance in a dunk contest i've ever seen (really close to 1st. I still think Carter's dunks were the best i've ever seen but it was a tie score wise as both got all 50's on all 4 dunks).

Finally some excitement during the All Star weekend. I was getting bored of the slam dunk event the last while.
