Bavetta v. Barkley - TNT

[VF21]

The Rookie Challenge was worth watching just to see Chris Paul...

And Howard was discriminated against because he's seven feet tall; I won't speak to how challenging the dunk was, but it was certainly entertaining.

All things being equal, though, I would have rather seen the guys in the Skills competition in the dunk contest... hell, I would have rather seen the guys judging the dunk contest in the dunk contest.

Now that I would have tuned in for...

Dwight got ROBBED!!!

His dunk was the funniest and most creative dunk I have seen in a while. He slapped a sticker of himself on the backboard at 12'6".

I have to absolutely agree with this. I think MJ was way too harsh on the scoring.

Some high note points though...

- It was nice to see Kobe choke.

- Kapono did an excellent job, leading the way and then Dirk choked big time.

- It was the best watching Chuck take a big scrub on his butt!

- The ladies showed the guys how to make a half court shot.

There was an article today saying that Dwight was saving his "kiss the rim" dunk for the second round. To bad we didn't get to see it.

It was all fun, but I'm still scratching my head over Barkley - Bavetta kiss. Was this some sort of a response to Tim Hardaway's comments or am I missing something?

Thats what i was thinking, i know Barkley was pretty upset over Hardaways comments, it wouldnt suprise me.

Btw, did you see in the All-Star game tonight when they had TMac talkin to Shaq? TMac was tellin him how Barkley and Dick kissed and Shaq didnt believe him, TMac was like "naw, it happened, where were you?".

And then after Shaq's first made dunk he grabbed T-Mac and planted a big kiss on his cheek.

I didn't know about that though, so that makes it even funnier.

If anyone wants to see Dwight's kiss the rim dunk from practice, go to nba.com on the right hand side by the videos click on Inside NBA from TNT overtime from last night (it should be the first video in the list). Dwights dunks are around 14 minute mark.
