Donovan Mitchell All Star Weekend Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I just re-watched all of DeShawn Stevenson's dunks during his contest.

Man, that was a boring showing by him.

Dr. J gave out more 10's than any other judge.

And he's the most qualified judge in the competition.

I gotta agree with Cy and the others with similar opinions. I wouldn't say this was a bad dunk contest, but it was kind of nondescript. Mitchell was the most consistently good which is why he won. While his dunks weren't incredibly innovative he does have a really flashy style when dunking them makes most of them look better at full speed. He had a couple interesting wrinkles that gave him just enough flash to carry some scores that were probably a little inflated.

DSJ and Nance really have no room to complain at all. DSJ choked badly on his first dunk and took himself out of the competition almost as badly as Oladipo. Nance got an inflated 49 on his second dunk, and his first one took like 3 tries amd was a worse version of his own father's dunk (the disrespect!). My only questionable moment for Spida was that last dunk. He should have gone with something more original, imo. Still a nice performance and we will take that W.

*I dont think anyone they have is qualified because there isnt any rubric or criteria for scoring other than an incomplete dunk gets a 6.*

LOL .. it really makes me wonder what a guy has to do to impress some of you guys? I mean, he did the best he can do given his God given gifts. He isn't the tallest/fastest/most athletic, but he tries hard and did the best he could. And considering the short notice he had to work with, he really stopped just short of pulling a monkey out of his ***.

Give the guy some props... geez.

Thats really lovely to see.

Great to see Greg Miller and even Denis' Wife there as well to give support. It really gives it that 'family' feel that I really love about the team and its ownership.

Love it.

You might want to delete this or some people will think you hate Donovan Mitchell and want to see him fail.

Yea it was a weak dunk contest. But Mitchell was the best out of all of them. And you can’t give 10s if a guy misses. I think that should deduct points.

Iawtp

I enjoyed it man.

Can one not enjoy something and also contextualize something? Or am I suppose to hoop and holler over dunks we have seen in past dunk contest?

Not every dunk contest is equal. This one was extremely mediocre. I think Donovan had the best overall set of dunks and deserved to win by the scoring system they use. I also don't think he had the best overall dunk of the night.

But I guess that is being a hater?

Humans are weird. They want you to like something they like or see it their way and if you don't, it upsets them. These people probably have issues with being selfish and controlling tbh.

They did it that way (or very similar). It was the year John Wall was in it. It was a terrible format. It was the worst contest in recent memory iirc.

I think you want to limit the total dunks. It's already hard enough as is to create new dunks or creative variations on former dunks. Adding more dunks would just water it down further.

Honestly you can make a rule to that the first dunk had to be a tribute dunk. There's been enough variations now that that could actually be interesting part of the process. I also think they should mic the judges instead of lispy McMiller.

Pinky up, bros.

Do you remember the Tribute Dunk wheel?

Is poor lil Numerica still triggered cause people didn't praise and celebrate the dunk contest how he sees fit?

 

[Siro]

Pinky up, bros.

He's very interested in the technical feats bruh. Why can't you be more sympathetic?
