All-Star Weekend: Who got robbed in Vegas?

Dwight Howard perhaps?



This was a crazy dunk just off the strength of his creativity and how high he jumped. Not to mention that he put a sticker up there with his face (and a message) on it (LOL). I think this was probably the best dunk of the night and should have (at least) gotten him into the final round. But obviously, the judges felt a different way.

Gerald Green's first dunk was actually his best in my opinion. His other dunks were nice but this was one the best. Look how high his head is when he throws this joint down...



The dunk he did over Emmanuel Lewis Nate Robinson was pretty difficult too though. I don't know why Nate set himself up by standing out there. I knew he was destined to lose the contest after that.

Check out the highlights from the dunk contest:



Sidebar: Michael Jordan was giving out some pretty low scores the entire night. Friggin dunking elitist! When Kobe's self-centered azz is giving out 9's or 10's, I would assume that everybody else is giving out 11's. Nah, not Michael!

Last but not least, check out these highlights from the high school dunk contest in 2005. It appears Gerald Green has been throwing it down with ease for a minute now. And who would have guessed that Josh McRoberts (who now plays for Duke) could dunk like this?

You're welcome. I am glad you took the time to actually explain what was on that sticker. I think a lot of people will find that interesting, if not inspirational.
