Why are there only 4 Slam dunk contestants?

Realworks?  Pish-posh!

Can you set it up in Windows Media Player?

Sure, ask for the file that takes up 4x as much space.

This year's dunk contest reminded me of why I hate the slam dunk contest.

A bit of PRECISION here, folks.  Just how many attempts do you get to get it close enough to try a dunk?  Anderson made a joke out of the contest.  In fact, most of the players made a joke out of the contest.  Even Nash and Stoudemire had to try things multiple times.

You get 15 seconds, and ONE ATTEMPT.  No more of this "replace an attempt" stuff.

At least the right guy won the contest.

I agree.  It's not impressive if you manage to do it once out of five tries, it's pathetic, as though you're trying to do something you can't do, or haven't worked on long enough to bring out in public.

The fans, who don't know better, should have booed them off the court.

The only ones with good dunks were the two Smith's.

JR missed twice, but that first one was an amazing dunk.  

Amare's dunks were creative, but nash had the highest degree of difficulty.

Josh Smith was amazing.

Andersen was a joke.

I can't fault players for trying things they couldn't get on the first try, since they knew they'd have re-try's.  I fault the people who setup the event.  I do fault Andersen for wasting our time.  After 3 botched tries you need a backup plan.

I was complaining here about Chris here on the board and was complaining about him before the contest.....He sucks.  He sucks bad.

The ego of that guy is amazing.  He tried to make it go from All-Star Weekend to Watch Chris Try To Dunk Weekend.  Some guys just never stop.
