Fuckin A right I do...

 

That picture is my new desktop background. The 1260X768 one of course. Can't have it distorted.

 

Impressive, sure.
But he didnt dunk it. He pretty much threw the ball in.

 

A dunk is classified as...

So, he did propel the basketball downward into the basket and therefore, it is a dunk.

 

Who gave the green light on these fucking all-star jerseys?

East has blue on the front and white on the back ... West has gold on the back and white on the front.

Not confusing at all.

 

Reggie Miller encouraging hard fouls in an All-Star Game. Classy.

 

Loved the celebrity shots.

Alyssa Milano looks different with her clothes on.

And not kissing another woman.

 

Samantha is all grown up.

 

this halftime show's pretty cool.

 

They should have stuffed the game and just done the halftime show.

 

i'd have been in favor of that.
or a 3-point shooting contest between yao shooting normally and rasheed wallace shooting left-handed. my money's on rasheed.

 

I've heard this complaint a few times and can't help but laugh. Watch the youtube clip. He took off outside of the dotted semi-circle just in front of the FT line. He took a lob from over the backboard. He had to jump more up than out because he had to time it perfectly so the ball was getting to him as he was taking off. He still managed to "fly" long enough to get close enough to throw the ball down through the hoop. It took him one try. He also had the creativity to come up with the whole Superman thing and wear the costume. He's one of the game's biggest stars and he's that enthusiastic about the dunk contest. I'm not sure there is anything to complain about.
