J.R. Smith Shouldn’t SeekThe Birdman’s Dunk Contest Advice

Which, naturally, is exactly what Smith’s going to do before replacing Rudy Gay: “Nuggets guard J.R. Smith plans to seek advice from teammate Chris Andersen before taking part in Saturday’s All-Star dunk contest. Well, J.R., before you get Andersen’s advice, make sure it’s from what he did in the 2004 contest, not the 2005 one. In 2004, Andersen, then with the Nuggets, finished third in Los Angeles. Some believed he got ripped off, including apparently Jack Nicholson, who showed great approval from the front row when it came to Andersen’s dunks. But in 2005, Andersen, then with New Orleans, provided one of the more embarrassing dunking shows in All-Star history. At the game in Denver, Andersen missed his first eight attempts on his first dunk and his first five attempts on his second dunk.”

    Larry Hughes needs to give JR a call. That’ll get things right.

    as much as i hate to admit it, Jr should use anthony carter. he may not be very talented or smart but he does know how to throw a lob.

    and Jr, please don’t use Bird. as much as i love him, hes the reason u got elliminated last time

    JR is the kinda dude that could try to do too much and miss every dunk attempt. Is the over/under for made dunks by JR and Lil Nate 2 or 3?

    First off, he’s been in it before himself, so he doesnt need to seek advice. Second, Nate Robinson missed many a dunk the last couple of contests. Where is the hate on him?

    Nate has at least some kind of excuse. Dude has little hands, it’s hard to grip the ball. But Birdman is massive, he just got rejected by the rim. That was the worst attempt in a dunk competition that I’ve ever seen.

    Well, JR Smith would be a good backup in the contest.

    wtf. what happend to joe alexander and westbrook?

  • Blinguo

    JR Smith needs to use George Karl as a jump over prop to have any chance at getting to the finals of this contest, and Karl will still be even with him by saying he’s no Shawn Kemp, but possibly a less talented possible offspring of the Reign Man.

    That’s kinda ironic when JR was last in an all star dunk contest they were teamates on the hornets, now they are teamates with the nuggets, Birdman delibaretly screwed up when he was helping JR with a dunk and JR delibaretly screwed up when he helped the Birdman on his dunk
