Donovan Mitchell All Star Weekend Thread

I liked how on one of his dunks (maybe the 3rd one?) he caught the ball really low and one handed for a full windmill. The key on that one to me was that he didn't touch the ball at all with his left hand and that made it look even better. Also, the guy who threw it off the side of the backboard on dunk two did it perfectly to where mitchell had to catch it way behind him so it looked even better. Seemed like he had an awkward landing on that dunk as well and for a moment i feared the worst. (not even gonna say the word though)

I disagree with the last part. If the dunk is great the dunk is great. Missed tries hurts the surprise factor, but the technical feat remains the same.

Agreed. I want them to try to do the dunks with the most degree of difficulty possible. If they got points deducted from missing dunks or only got one attempt then players would just do easier dunks and we (fans) would all lose in that scenario.

Do you remember the Tribute Dunk wheel?

I dont. Kinda sounds interesting to me though (im guessing it was a massive failure though)
Kinda like seeing if you can out-do a previous dunker and do their dunk better than them.
 
Oladipo was the reason the contest struggled some. He acted almost like he didn't want to be there. Dennis Jr tried, but he looked nervous. Definitely not a showman.

Mitchell won despite Nance getting a little extra attention due to his Dad, some extra residual Laker following, and recent trade recognition.

DM earned the win.

I had ALOT of fun watching that dunk contest. I was watching it like it was a playoff game or something. Standing up, pacing around, clapping loudly, pumping my fist, ready to pitch a fit if the judges would have screwed things up.
Lots of fun.

My wife even enjoyed watching the Spida dunks.

Uh, how is it not any comment on Mitchell? Mitchell's dunks literally made up 1/3 of the entire contest that he is claiming to be the "worst ever".

What he's saying is, although Memo did not like the dunk contest, it's not a jab at Donovan or his game. People, on this message board, are finding it hard not to equate assessments of last nights dunk contest to the contestants play in NBA games.

To me, Dennis Smith Jr had the best dunk and was robbed of going to the finals.
 
Ya that dennis smith dunk was probably the most difficult. I doubt any other player in this contest could have done it. I still liked the double off the backboard dunk better though.

I would like to see a dunk contest set up like a game of horse. See who can do dunks that other guys cant.
might be a massive failure/flop but I would like to see it that way just for one year at least.

How about support a fellow Jazzman or keep your dumb opinion to yourself? Memo could be a team ambassador, but last night he was a team ***.
