Raptors Discussion: v56|All-Star Saturday Night (Lowry in 3pt contest) Sat, Feb 13 8pm ET/5pm PT

Feels like they're pumping up LaVine a little just to push the contest a bit more. His dunks are great and probably would win any other time. but Gordon's stuff has been more flashy/entertaining.

 

[Clark4Ever]

That was the best slam dunk competition I can recall. It was too close to call.

 

[samwitch]

Wow... Gordon should have won that!

IMO it was clear Gordon. Both dunkers first two were 50 worthy but Gordon's were just better.

 

[The Nemesis]

Gordon should've won. Or at least leave it a tie.

 

[samwitch]

It was either a tie or give the trophy to Gordon!!

 

[Dr.Funk]

BUt definitely the best slam dunk in a long time.

best overall in terms of multiple dunkers delivering. Still not sure I'd put it up there in terms of single individual performance vs Vince Carter's contest.

Yeah I don't rank it ahead of Vince or MJ vs Nique.

 

[Eyedea]

That was a great final round. The dunk where Gordon passed it under both of his legs was insane.

2000 is still the best. Hell, not st VC dominating, but T-Mac and Steve Francis were really, really good as well.

This is 2nd IMO. This was better than MJ vs Nique. That 2nd Gordon dunk was just... damn. Let's go home.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Fluff(Magic Mascot) was the real MVP.

Yep, best dunk contest I've ever watched. Back to back just great dunks when it came to the final two. Think Gordon should have won it and hope he gets given another chance next year cause he deserves it!

 

[Clark4Ever]

VC's individual performance is still the best in recent memory IMO, but tonight's competition was as good it gets. It was like a game that went into triple overtime.

 

[Eyedea]

Best part about it was the fact that they were doing one takes. It only finished because Gordon's last dunk took more than one attempt.

Western Conference All-Stars are in the Leafs room. Are the Eastern All-Stars in Raptors room?

I was surprised at seeing that, considering the Raptors have their room locker room and there is one visitors locker room used by both NHL and NBA teams.

Well, they did not want give Kobe the visitors locker room. Makes sense that they want to give both teams the greatest facilities.

I thought Drake was doing the player intros?

Sting is a great artist but such a bizarre choice for the 2016 NBA ASG The performance was fine but it's like playing heavy metal at your grandmother's funeral; it just doesn't fit the atmosphere.

 

[p.l.f.]

190 pts lol

Honestly, don't understand it..

 

[Muston Atthews]

[p.l.f.]

I find it hard to believe they couldn't have found someone else
