- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30basketball does not belong on digg, ESPECIALLY in the basketball section
- NerveBand, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Why the ***** is there a sport section then? Block it out if you don't like it *****.
- jexdawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Why does the smallest guy have the sweetest dunks?
- flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25would have been a lot better without the music.
- grafenberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9actually andre igudala should have won, and would have if a judge hadn't have canged his vote after seeing that he didn't. most players in the league thought it was a stolen victory. :)
- dziban303, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Did that one guy just jump over that other guy during his dunk? That was enough to impress my fat, unatheletic ass.
- nipuL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8heh, a 5"9' guy dunking. that's one impressive vertical leap
- jewcantdenyit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6best dunk ever was vince carter in the olympics, when he jumped over 7 footer fredrick weiss
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8238118451906357191&q=vince+carter - grafenberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5nah, that's not why. we lost because our players are so pressed for time to train that they didn't get to mesh well for the games. plus, considering that this group of guys were just put together on a team, and that this was basically their first year as a unit, I think they did rather well. people don't undertand that many of the players on other national teams have been playing together for years. just wait till the olympics, then we can judge. :)
- CaseyUCF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5you're a real winner
- AZTriGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yep, Spud Webb was 5' 4". Watching him dunk was unreal, the man had springs in his legs. Of course, that was nearly 20 years ago when I watched him play back at NC State, I think he played for Atlanta for a few years before fading.
- kasted, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6your a ***** *****
- achoo5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Suck it, France!"
- pantone354, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Igoudala got robbed, this video didn't show all the attempts it took Robinson before he finally dunked them.
- flamingmb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Spud web was shorter I think and he won the dunk contest way back when.
- thegoldenstate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4this was the worst dunk contest ever. They can't let em have 15 or so tries at making a dunk. You get one miss. You miss twice, you're done.
- AR15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Played against Nate in some college pickup games. That kid is ridiculous and fun as hell to play with.
- livestradamus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If Spud Webb (listed as 5'7" i believe) is actually 5'4", I've seen Nate & spudd stand next to each other after that dunk he jumped over him.. and there was hardly any height difference... go figure
by the way.. no one is nicer with dunks than Vince Carter - ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3....oooooor... you could give credit to the other teams that played so well.

Can't beat the great Spudd Webb. - PacoDG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If a tall guy would have done the same things as the small guy, they just wouldn't have looked as nice, I think the slam dunk contests are a place where the height probably doesn't help at all.
- ktchpmn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The problem with the slame dunk contest is that they are given unlimited tries and they are not supposed to be penalized for taking so many tries. I think that is utterly ridiculous because the excitement and skill of the slam dunk contest comes when someone makes an unbelievable dunk, not after they've tried the drunk 5,6, or 15 in Robinson's case to make a dunk.
- Ollin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2We lost in the world championships because most of our stars were too scared to play in the tournament because of fear of getting injured in a non league tournament. The days of the true dream team is dead...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5agreed, music sucked.
- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6i liked the music. nice beat to it as long as it wasn't too loud
- code_of_life, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1two words "long arms"
- gregduh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1iguodala deserved to win that especially since robinson took like 30 attempts for one of his dunks i can't remember which it was, it happened about 8 months ago, they both had nasty dunks but iguodala had better ones i think
but at least the guy that made this video put a tupac track in it, can't get any better than tupac, best mc ever - VelvetoneFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These are ok. The City Slam comps they show on ESPN2, are much more impressive.
- Oakenshield, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3At what point in time does the slam dunk contest reach that ultimate pinnacle of achievement that finally brings the definitive end to originality?
Oh. 1987? Okay then. - swankboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ghetto-ass music, ghetto-ass movie quality.
- tito13kfm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"why someone say that basketball section not belong to digg?"
I'll just leave it at that. - gtg697w, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1does anyone know what biggie song is being used in that video?
- shirtninjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow. I've seen ppl slam dunk by passing the ball through their legs, but not by someone who's 5'9"!! JR Rider made that dunk famous, but Nate Robinson took it to a whole new level.
- merdiesel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Iggy got robbed in this... The dunk were he went around the back was ***** sick. No one has done that dunk before.
- ubhe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that little guy is the like the energiser bunny, have springs for legs.
- grafenberg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+420 random people happened to like the video, it was given a shot at the front page. blame the userbase..
- 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4And that's why we lost against the world.
- Platypus3333, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Carter is probably tops in terms of freakish athletic ability.
This video is kind of annoying, as it replays every dunk like 4 times. My favorite is the last one where he manages to hang by his elbow from the hoop...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su0pVIIKLUU&mode=related&search= - turbomichael, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0great video,why someone say that basketball section not belong to digg?
- hattrick35, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Ears... bleeding...
- lokai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1So. A lot of tall individuals who can obviously jump higher are putting balls into baskets which they can easily reach. Wow.
- celeb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I think it's time to raise the hoop by 12 inches. Anyone agree?
- Reidtheweed01, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3And after all of these years NONE can even come close to Jordan.
- chuklz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0What a total and complete waste of time. Basketball is enough of a joke but this garbage is ridiculous.
- blobzorz, on 10/12/2007, -13/+8Rap is crap.
- aks123, on 10/12/2007, -12/+7Rock is crock.
- secretivecoward, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2anyone else read that as Slam Drunk Contest?
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2No Jordan, no Digg. :P
- ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1but gangsta is cool these days.
