Gordon brought the originality and got hosed on his non-50 scores which should have all been 50's. But he has probably the most memorable dunk ever so nice consolation.

So that dunk contest was something special. Fitting it was in Vince Carter's old stomping ground.

I still give the title to this one... because it happened in a game!

I'll always prefer this one because it's an NBA game and not the Olympics, plus the pass is awful, plus the finish is violent, and it gets the saltiest announcer reaction ever.

Gordon should have won.
I don't watch a lot of NBA, but the NHL needs to take notes for the skills competition. Classic events that the players actually want to win.

I really loved this years dunk contest. In years past it's been a complete gimmick with props and stupid sponsorship things. This year was the first year in memory where there was none of that and just guys competing without adding ladders, cupcakes or double balls. Plus the guys practiced before hand and got most of these in one shot. Gordon was especially awesome.

That was an amazing dunk contest. Wow. I just saw the highlights.

Gordon should have won but hard to argue with any of Lavine's dunks too as they were all spectacular.

Nice to see T.O. put on a good show!

Nelly Furtado absolutely butchered the Canadian anthem at the all star game IMO. I see opinions are pretty split on social media, people seemed to either love it or hate it. What did everyone here think about it?

x2. While I don't care for politics and whatnot at sporting events, some of the best anthems were ones that kept it simple but with a powerful voice. When those try to make the show their own, they ruin it. Ne-Yo did the American anthem very well.

Even by All-Star game standards this is some bad defense. West could have an outside chance at 200 with a huge 4th shooting a lot of 3's.

Hmm what was going on with George. They actually denied him the record and then didn't even give him the game MVP. Is the guy not well liked?

Isnt it voter based? Besides, George seemed to put up a quiet 41 where as Westbrook had some eye catching dunks.

I actually thought they would have gave it to Kobe.
