5 attempts = 50 points?
I like T.Ross but that doesn't make sense to me.
He thanked all of his fans, twitter, the nba. DeRozan and Gay.
There was no love for Toronto, no mention. Even off camera, on twitter.
I think he'll leave Toronto the first chance he gets.Last edited by drunkmunky; Sun Feb 17, 2013, 10:12 AM.

As for Weatherspoon....I though that one had to be wrong, and it is. Weatherspoon has never been in a 3pt shootout.
I double checked this from their sources, but the wiki pages are just easier to read.

Still though, I can't think of a more dominant dunk contest than Vince's. Every dunk he did made it look like every other person was just clearly not on his level.
*I only think of it because I think Ross 1st and 3rd dunks, at least, were on that level....really a shame he didn't knock that first one down on his first, powerful, attempt.

Btw, i thought James White's freethrow line was so underrated. I'm surprised he only got 45 from the judges. I mean, the choreography was awesome, he still got some serious hangtime and it was just a great dunk.
As for his 2nd dunk, the guy just cannot dribble a basketball. He kept losing his dribble, it was embarassing to seeMamba Mentality

Anyways, Ross winning was awesome. Drake and KG's reaction to the last dunk, twitter exploding and his cause (dunk cancer) made it feel so big. Like, I can't remember the last time I was genuinely excited much less feeling the dunk contest. When Ross won I was cheering in the living room with my wife and daughter. It was awesome.
Unlike a lot of the recent dunk contest winners I can see Ross being a player too. Toronto is live right now.@sweatpantsjer

Made this Desktop Wallpaper in honor of Ross winning the dunk contest! (Please be aware this is only my 3rd or 4th wallpaper ever made, I am an amateur) So be nice and let me know what you think!
