2nd Place Up For Grabs

I just hope he doesn’t get hurt.

Is Gerald old enough to remember Reebok Pumps or Dee Brown?

Dwight Howard I heard is going to do a kiss the rim dunk. Also, rumor has it he is going to place a basketball on top of the backboard and dunk it, no lie, they said he has done it in practice before.

get ready for plenty of “celtics suck” jokes from the TNT crew.

best of luck to gerald.

to me, his dunks never seem too impressive. he’s not very creative or fluid with his throw downs. but i’d like to see him win.

does anyone else think it’s incredibly sad that this is all we have to look forward to as Celts fans?

Excellent. I hope he wins and bring his value back up.

Go get them GG!!!

….I can’t believe RGomes got snubed

I’m with stillaceltsfan. Who cares? Still, I’m an old guy, so maybe I’m not representative.

I can’t wait!!

NO doubt the this is the bright spot on the season. I hope Gerald wins but I can see Ty Thomas being a sleeper pick. I remember from the tournament last year he has some crazy ups.

But something I kind of confused about is the NBA allowing Nate Robinson to compete again this year. We keep on hearing how David Stern wants to clean up the image of the league. (and he has done a great job) Stern passed on Carmelo as a reserve for the west for his role in the brawl. Aside from Carmelo’s punch, Nate Robinson had just as much responsibility in the brawl also. He really escalated it by immediatley getting into the fracas and yelling and then tackling a Nuggets player to the floor (JR Smith i believe it was). If Stern will not allow Melo, the NBA’s leading scorer, to play I don’t think Nate should be able to compete either.

Did Stern actually ban ‘Melo? I thought it was the coaches decision. Based on just games missed, you could argue that he wasn’t worthy, even though it’s debatable.

Why can’t we just enjoy the dunk contest without turning it into a reflection of how bad our team is? Yes, it has nothing to do with real basketball. It’s only a problem if Gerald thinks it does. I enjoy the dunk contest for what it is, not hate on it for what it isn’t. What it is is a tremendous display of athleticism and creativity, and also just a fun event the players and the crowd get a kick out of.

yawn…..who cares?….

Aqua, you stole my line.

gerald will hit his head on the rim if he tries to dunk blind

Here’s hoping Gerald is too young to be nervous. Jordan AND Dr. J are judging?! Insane.

NO! I dont want it like this… I want Josh Smith v. Gerald Greem head to head… This will be a hollow victory for green

I have to admit the lineup for the judges are insane, that alone is going to be fun to watch. I also wonder what type of dunks GG can do that he hasnt done already.

In a typical Celtic Kharmic incident he’ll blow out his knee on his final dunk attempt and lose to Nate Robinson.
