The Dunk Contest

The NBA dunk contest was right after the three point contest last night. Nate Robinson and Demar Derozen faced off in the finals of the dunk contest. Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace were also in the contest but they lost in the first round. Nate Robinson ended up winning the contest for the third time and he says he will not participate in the contest again. He is the first person to ever win the contest three years and he will not go for four. Nate Robinson only got 51% of the votes from the fans to win the contest. The dunk contest was not one of the better ones and did not have exciting dunks. The dunks were mostly simple ones that are actually performed in games sometimes. A former dunk contest winner Dwight Howard actually was laughing in the stands during the contest. He clearly did not think it lived up to what the contest should be. Next year’s dunk contest should be very much improved compared to this year.
