Congrats to Jeremy Evans, 2012 Slam Dunk Champion!!!

Williams took himself out by tanking the last dunk.
George took himself out by bricking the sticker dunk.

So it was really Buddinger and Evans.

Agree. The 1st was pedestrian. But dunking 2 balls...that was incredible. And, although the 3rd was not over someone as tall as Hibbert, like George did, Evans also took off from a lot further away and had impressive elevation. Malone being involved in some way would have been great.

Congrats to Jeremy!

Agreed, it would have been great if Karl was the was somehow involved. Like him jumping over Karl or something.

Budinger had the blindfold. Overall, we were spoiled by Vince Carter in the past as well as others. I agree that there are only so many things a human can do when trying to perform in one of these contests. It's getting to the point where we have seen about everything people have to offer and that makes us much less impressed.

Dwight Howard ruined the contest with the inclusion of gimmicks. Now every dunk has to have a gimmick attached to it.

I figured Williams was not going to make that final dunk he wanted so badly. He really isn't a leaper like Evans.

Evans first dunk was god awful.

It was certainly more white bread (excuse the lame expression) than i expected. Obviously someone convinced Jeremy that would make a great video, but they were wrong. The format of the whole contest ("jet" Smith and all
the contrived crap were pitiful. The dunk contest should just be about acrobatic/althletic/powerful dunks or just dropped completely. But i think the (1st dunk) "Intensity meter" (another lame idea which fizzled) had a 37 for
Jeremy and only one number was shown all night that was higher. The "double dunk" was the winner but it was such a pathetic contest overall.

Agreed. The gimmicks are now taking priority over the actual impressiveness of the dunk. Anyway, good for Evans. I thought for sure that George would win the text voting. I guess Evans is lucky that most of these guys are all but unknown to the casual fans. If Lebron was in this and he made a couple of layups then his popularity would probably win it for him.

I think it was just one of those dunks that he could barely do on a good day. Then after he failed the first 3 attempts, the body isn't capable of 100% effort so he essentially had 0 chance of pulling it off.

I wish Evans would have taken a risk like that on his 1st dunk instead of whatever the hell he did. I think he was trying to do something else, but accidentally dunked it?
 
I do have to say that Evans' first dunk had a lot of promise with the camera. I would have preferred him to try to get the biggest vertical leap he could and dunk the ball. Fans I think would have appreciated that more than what eventually happened.
