[ice grillin you]

i got this buffalo bourbon recently...i dont have it in front of me so i dont know the exact name (it has a buffalo on the label) but its good as farg...like ill only use it for old fashioneds and drinks of that ilk...im sure it isnt as good as some of the stuff heads on here have talked about...is it phillymic that loves bourbon?...someone on cf was saying they bought some righteous shtein....but for the money its the best ive had in a while

Shut the farg up fatso that's what the sixers are supposed to try and do

they have 2 deadlines and an offseason to figure something out. buy out, package him and igy and a 1st. something. it dont matter what. at least try. id give every last thing, even jrue, to get brand off the books and try and max out for durant. hes worth it.

cause thats the only shot they have short of tanking which they appear unwilling to do.

Worst dunk contest ever. The Olympics were more interesting. Luge, speed skating and farging womens moguls were more farging entertaining that the goddamn dunk contest. What a pile of steaming shtein, David Stern.

The crowd was comatose. Good job by Sir Charles calling it for the farce that it was.

at the bar, didnt have audio, but yea....it was brutal

im not sure how, but they need to get kobe, lebron, dwade, etc. in this. maybe put a 100k bounty for their favorite charity or promise a killer compted weekend in vegas for their boys so they get nagged into doing it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

You didn't need the audio. The crowd was funeral like. The only worthy thing was Barkley's quips about how zesty it was. And Cheryl Miller trying her best to make it sound like a relevant event. Simply terrible.

[MDS]

they need to form some direct $ tie in to make it good. like the vegas thing or free ringside seats for 20 friends to a big fight. something.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No matter what they give away, I can't see them enticing LeBron or Kobe there because of their fear of losing. Too massive of an ego to lose, I think.

Plus, and this has to do with whoever is competing, what else can be done that hasn't been done already? It's really hard to get creative.

It cracks me up when these fools try to take off from the FT line only to launch two feet past it.

[MDS]

thats why you do something where their boys and or wifeys are forcing them.

like make kobe do it so his skank wife and 10 of her skanky friends get to go for a week long spa getaway. if he loses, he has to buy a 2 mil ring right there on the spot.

boooooom.

this is the biggest downfall to the contest now more than anything.  guys don't even get graded on the dunks themselves now as much as the extracurricular stuff that goes on around it like a nice pass from a teammate or wearing a cape. 

truth is though, the nate robinson dunk last night going off the backboard and reverse slamming it home was farging gorgeous.  it looked sick at full speed and when you slow it down it looked even better.  and what i see with most dunkers these days is that when you slow it down during replay, most of them look like ass. 

jordan, nique, carter, etc all looked farging dope as hell at full speed but it was the slow mo replay that really showed you how sick the dunks were.  these youngsters dunking today have no style or form while in flight.  it just looks like 10lbs of shtein stuffed in a 5lb bag. 

[reese125]

by far the worst dunk contest and contestants ever shown on tv

the only thing making nate robinsons dunk look good is the fact that he is small...which is very old news now. had a 6'9 dude do that dunk it would of got 5's from the judges. yeah i get it nate...you like to dunk and twirl your body at the end to make it look like you really brought it home.

[Rome]

The slam dunk contest is nearly as irrelevant as the NBA itself.  The fact that they can't get anyone of consequence to participate isn't the least bit surprising, though.  The selfishness, greed and hubris displayed by the so-called "stars" of that wretched league is nauseating beyond belief.

jesus that post reeks of old, cranky white man

the nba is arguably the 2nd most popular league now. within a decade or two it will unequivocally pass baseball if it hasnt done it already.

someone singling out the slam dunk contest, which hasnt been relevant in 20 years and was only minorly relevant 10 years ago because of a couple of vince carter dunks, as some kind of example or status-quo is incredibly short-sided and small minded.

just admit the black guys with the tattoos and the gangsta rap makes you uncomfortable and that you long for the days of larry bird's indiana farmboy pornstache.
