yes, bill laimbeer-belly is woefully out of shape.

Wow, I figured he'd fake an injury after 20 feet.

i would have thrown up already.

I really thought Bavetta would win, though.  He even slid at the end and he got a cut on his knee; the blood was running during the interview at the end.

I'd love for one of them to win it and I'd really hate it if Alfred (Damon Jones) or Arenas won.

but i've already placed my bet.

Terry only hit 10.

I can't believe Kapono hit that many.  I think it's true what Reggie and Kenny said; that once Dirk missed a couple, he lost focus and was just going through the motions.

never bet against the heat with dick bavetta in the building. ;)

They're discriminating against Dwight's height.  His dunk was way better than Robinton's.  Sorry, might be the homer in me, but I think he got robbed.

i need to vent.  This dunk contest pissed me off.  The league won't let Dwight raise the rim so that his height won't be such an issue, yet they penalize him for dunking on a regulation rim.  It's out of his control; what was he supposed to do?  It's unfair that his creative dunk got a lower score than dunks from Robinson and Green that are rehashed.

Then Green goes and gets a perfect score after dunking over a table, a freaking table that's shorter than Nate Robinson.

Legends and All Stars be damned...screw those judges.

...as long as the Mavs win the ultimate team award, the NBA Championship.  

It's a shame that the NBA has to bribe it's players with prize money to compete.  Most of these guys are millionaires, and I wish the winning player gets to donate the prize money to the charity of his choice (maybe they do anyway privately...or they gamble it away in Sin City).

What Bavetta and Barkley did -- donating to the Boys & Girls Club courtesy of the NBA and TNT -- was classy.
