All-Star Week is here, and while the SLAM fam that will be heading to Phoenix (Lang, Ryne and myself, possibly joined by some guest stars in Phx) has a lot to do before we jet out of NYC, it’s time to start building our All-Star content here on the site. What better way to kick things off than some free gear? Adidas sent us seven of these jackets that you all can win…I’ll explain how below.

    Dwight superman dunk because he showed true creativity. It take real work to use someone elses dunk and modify it. but he used creativity to show those hops of it.

    West medium.
    5. 2002 All-Star Game when T-Mac threw the ball on the backboard and dunked it. That was classic.
    4. 1988 Slam Dunk contest when MJ did his infamous dunk from the free throw line. You can’t deny that that was one of the greatest dunks in dunk contest history.
    3. 2009 All-Star Game where Shaq and Kobe were co-MVPs. The best duo in the history of the game despites their feuds in the past come together and put on a show on probably the last time they ever play together.
    2. 2008 Slam Dunk contest when Dwight the Superman put on one hell of a show. Dwight’s Superman cape dunk was amazing and it was amazing to see how a 7-footer can dunk like that. Unfortunately, he was dethroned by Kyrptonite aka KyrptoNATE Nate Robinson in the 2009 dunk contest.
    1. 2000 Slam Dunk contest where Vince Carter did his between the legs dunk and then put his finger up in the air. That was the best dunk in slam dunk history in my opinion. It just literally dropped my jaw when half man half amazing did the dunk and he’s arguably the top 3 dunkers in NBA history.

    In the city of Houston…. The first all star game i saw and the best all star game i saw so far. what an incredible show was put on. The thrilling overtime game. Marv Albert, Steve Kerr, and doug collins the commentators. It dosen’t get better. Dazzling moves, high flying dunks, and a breath taking game from start to end. i remember jumping up when t-mac windmill on a fastbreak. Hollding on to my breath when t-mac had the ball and couple seconds left on the clock West down by two t-mac try to close the deal by going for the win, but unfortunatley east won.

    YO! Michael Jordan was the reason why I started watching All-Star weekends! Not only was he nasty at the Dunk Competitions, he was hella humorous! He made sure everyone was having a good time at All-Star weekend. One thing i remember was Jordan ripping Penny’s warm-ups off during the starting line ups. Everyone had smiles on their faces. Now give me my jacket!!!!!!! haha

    WEST/2XL

    Thank you!

    The moment I’ll never forget…The 1993 NBA All Star Game. It was hosted by Utah, and fittingly, the MVP (or rather, MVPS) were John Stockton and Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz, only the second time in NBA history that teammates were able to share the glory.
    I have to be honest, I HATED the Jazz. I could care less about them really. But what I saw that day made me love them, and even change my mind about who I wanted to win. At first, I was rooting for the East all the time. But after seeing the West, I was captivated. I didn’t care about the East anymore. Jordan? Forgot about him.
    I don’t remember the stats they got, or which team seemed to be winning, but I do remember that Stockton, like always, passed. That’s it, that’s all. He passed to whoever was open, and barely took a shot. Not surprisingly, Malone received it most. Malone did the scoring and Stockton did the passing. It was “Stockton-to-Malone at it’s finest, and if not, a pretty close second (in my opinion at least). And to top it all off, they did not forget the most important rule to remember: There’s no “I” in team.
    That’s all I basically remember, not the game being played, with both teams battling it out, but who played the best they could. It turned out to be my newfound heroes. It is definitely one of my greatest basketball memories, let alone All-Star memories.
