well...it is "only" MKG, it IS Jordan...and on top of that he was probably too star-struck to even focus :D
MJ was still 49 and out of shape and although MKG is not known for his offense most nba players are better than you think shooting in 1 on 1s and in practice.
Jordan could suit up next season and drop 17 a game.

Nobody has ever produced such a performance in a dunk contest, where he had everybody in awe the whole time, and regardless of how good the others' dunks were from the moment he made the 1st dunk everybody already knew who was going to win, they just couldn't wait and see what he would do next. Jordan and Wilkins were great, but they "thrived off of eachother" and there was really no clear winner, Carter just dominated, and in my honest opinion generaly had the best collection of dunks. His 1st and the between-the-legs dunks are 2 of my favorite dunk contest dunks ever.
And I have never (nor will I probably ever again) see anybody LITERALLY JUMP OVER AND DUNK ON A 7FOOT+ center DURING THE GAME.

That dunk was and still and will forever be unbelievable...but this IMO beats it because it had everything one could ask for in an in game dunk. It even has it's on name

Now that Knicks Forward James White shot his load & came up empty At dunk allstar showing, representing the east he can be traded since He has few 2way skills much more than dunks OR the tease he gave Local Ny fans whom anticipated something from Mr White Youtube rep.
Ex knickerbocker Nate Robinson's worst dunks exceeds James White, & lil Nate was what 2time champ? LOL

dunk contest is played,
it should be: one attempt, keep it moving, 5 total dunks without pausing between attempts: one guy goes the other guy has to go immediately after, 5 players 5 dunks, grade at end,
in the final you can have 3 dunks each: first guy dunks, second guy dunks, first guy dunks, second guy dunks,...

Jwhite and Novak was a no show...WTF..Nothing?!?!.Man, I'll cut them in a heartbeat if I had my way..Not one decent dunk James "Fly" White..Kyre Irving shoots threes better Novak???..So much for those "per" stats guys..They don't take a player's wind and stamina into consideration..U have to be in exceptional shape to excel..Man, I had my poms poms out tonight ..what a disappointment ..Wifey was laughing..She doesn't understand the time I dedicate to the Knicks..Come on man!!!!!!!

I'm with you. What he did in the dunk contest I don't think can ever be topped.

Reading this thread, and the same people are hating even about all star contests!
I remember when we traded for him, and he looked beyond p***ed off that he was a Knick- couldn't even put on a fake smile for the news conference (well the feeling was entirely mutual! Think most Knick fans had the same expression that day). Most players say they'd love to play for New York (whether they actually mean that I'm not sure), so I found it strange that he was so openly annoyed at the prospect. I hardly even remember him playing for us.
Anyways, he really doesn't look well- not just aged.

Why would anyone want to play in the same backcourt as Marbury
IronWillGiroud@ 2/17/2013 11:31 AM
stevie franchise one of the most overrated players in history of nba,
hope he gets well but he looks like he is suffering under some stress
gunsnewing@ 2/17/2013 11:46 AM
Steve Francis = JR Smith

Bear in mind, that stuff on Durant's shirt goes all the way around.
Ha, though I've said it before- I would love to be in a situation where i could dress like that and suffer no bad consequences for it. I think some of these athletes know they're so rich and popular regardless, they're basically trolling by wearing those clothes.

JR is bigger and slightly better defensively though
I try not to criticize players for low basketball IQ's, because I know that if I played basketball professionally, my basketball IQ would probably be even worse- I struggle to understand even the most basic of plays or defensive rotations- I look at the x's and o's charts and I can't follow them at all.
I'd like to think I wouldn't hoist long 3 pointers when down 2 and 6 seconds still on the clock, like Brandon Jennings, but I couldn't guarantee it...
