If you weren’t watching the 2011 NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night, I can’t say I blame you. Personally, the competition has become too much about gimmicks and less about actual skill to keep my interest. There were, however, a few sights worth seeing. Blake Griffin’s dunk over the car (even if it was only over the hood) was impressive, but the most difficult dunk of the night was JaVale McGee throwing down two slams at once on 13-foot hoops. McGee should have won the contest, but Blake Griffin was such a heavy favorite that the judges undoubtedly felt pressure to make him the winner.

Anyone out there not think McGee got robbed? Better yet, does anyone care?
