With the exception of the main event itself, the Slam Dunk Contest is without a doubt the most anticipated event during the NBA All-Star Weekend. We’ve seen some memorable showdowns in the past – Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Steve Francis putting on an amazing show in 2000, Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins redefining gravity in 1988, Nate Robinson defying the odds in three separate occasions – and 2011 was poised to be one for the history books with Blake Griffin, Demar Derozan, Serge Ibaka, and Javale McGee slated for slam dunk showcases. Each player rocked a pair of sweet sneakers to accompany the flashiness of their aerial assaults; Serge Ibaka of the Thunder wore the adidas adiPure in Sun Yellow and Demar Derozan sported a tonal-red colorway of the Zoom Kobe VI iD. Washington’s Javale McGee showed off a number of different Peak colorways, and eventual champion wore a red/black/translucent outsole colorway of the Nike Air Max Fly By. Check out a complete visual recap from the 2011 NBA Sprite Slam Dunk Contest after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for a NBA Feet feature from the All-Star Game! via Yahoo!.

There are too many conspiracies for this year Slam Dunk.
1) Kenny Smith is talking too much that affects the crowd and the judges minds.
2) Nike again "dominates" the voting system compare to a China brand, Peak?
3) In terms of difficulty level and timing, McGee is a better dunker than Griffin.
4) This is held in LA.

Demar Dorozan's second dunk was sick…. Serge was robbed in his first dunk… Blake's 450 dunk was unbelievable..

McGee would have had it but he lost steam in that second round. His first 2 Dunks were so amped up and to go to regular dunks kinda underwhlemed everyone, IMO. But Blake definitely did his thing, Just that last one got over hyped. He should have gone between the legs or windmilled over the Car if he was just gonna jump the Hood.

haters gonna hate. you cant take anything away from blake griffin. at least it wasnt some bs like when robinson beat igoudoua or however you spell his name
February 20th, 2011 at 6:48 am
Boo!
February 20th, 2011 at 7:23 am
the angel of stern clearly advised mcgee that griffin was to win. have to say though that the car dunk was great.
February 20th, 2011 at 7:37 am
they all knew blake was going to win it.But they all came out winners.They all made a name for themselves, plus put in a very good show. The dunk contest hadn't had new interesting dunks in a while. Props to all participants.
February 20th, 2011 at 8:10 am
common hater! just enjoy the show and the shoes that come with it! Enough BS!
February 20th, 2011 at 9:05 am
Derozan was robbed – his first dunk was not a 44…. no one could have been the LA fans – I mean Griffin…
February 20th, 2011 at 9:50 am
worst thing was – socks!
February 20th, 2011 at 9:55 am
I'm starting to think professional sports are rigged. Blake really should not of won.
February 20th, 2011 at 10:03 am
Tsss…hater

What's everyones opinion on McGee's mulitple pairs of PEAK shoes?
February 20th, 2011 at 11:50 am
Yea as Barkley said Griffin's dunk over the car was nice but nowhere near as difficult as the other dunks.
February 20th, 2011 at 11:53 am
I actually thought the socks took on a nice, computer generated bit style..
February 20th, 2011 at 1:08 pm
McGee's mom kissed the doctor in the lips.
February 20th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
C'mon guys it's already done. Let it go and enjoy the rest of the weekend
February 20th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
all final round voting was done by txt messages, making the dunk contest being held in L.A., your 4th comment, irrelevant to the argument
February 20th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
but the playoff 13s in the first pic are better
February 20th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
i thought it was funny how they let Blake slide in to the final round with that score of 46. but when i saw the nice "KIA" car come out (the car company thats the official sponsor of the NBA) i put two and two together lol yep he was supposed to be in it. Good one NBA!

mcgee's dunks were awesome but the thing is he stands 7'0" which makes his dunks unimpressive. derozan was awesome but definitely lacks power. Griffin's dunks were all power dunks like that of how dwight howard's dunks were like in the competiotion before. and all star weekend is in LA which makes it a plus for Griffin.
February 26th, 2011 at 12:28 am
i didn't notice its a KIA car… good job NBA

I would like to know if there is a way to post short stories, and ongoing episodes for a story online and that it gets legitimate copyright on a site. I want to avoid sending my material to get copyright each time I make an update to my stories. The bottom line is that I want to enjoy getting online feedback and not get stolen from..
