Official NBA 2012-2013 Season Thread

Jordan and Brent Barry did it in different years though. Kenny Smith did the Dunk and 3 Point in the same year. Just went right from one event to the next. 

I knew Jordan and Kenny. I just figured this was the first time in 20 years...but Brent.

It's nothing different than Dirk did for years. Dirk's more of a paint player now than he ever was in his prime.

Durant just does it to a greater, more impactful way.

Either way, I still think LeBron is the hands-down MVP, at least to me.

Kenny, Jordan, Brent Barry and Clyde Drexler.

Whodathunkit.

Not hands down. They're both having historically great years. It's basically a toss-up to me at this point. Sucks that one of them isn't gonna win it because they're both deserving.

Brent Barry keeping his warm ups on.

Barkley: Lakers aint making the playoffs
Kenny: Kobe don't understand that

....

Barkley: *grabs phone* Kobe, Kobe... your not gonna make the playoffs
Barkley: He understands it now

Agreed. Both guys are deserving, whoevers team finishes out the year the strongest will take it.

Can y'all dead bombarding this thread with incessant Phil Jackson pics after every Laker loss?

It was funny the first few hundred times, but like most funny things on NikeTalk y'all take it and completely run it into the ground.

It's to the point where if I ever meet Phil in person, I'll steal off on him and punch him in the face.

Can't even enjoy Lakers' losses now because this thread turns into a PYPP.

Kemba Walker turned into Reggie Williams

 

[T0INE]

Charles scared of the toy rabbit.

 

[mronegative]

Kemba Walker turned into Reggie Williams

I think that's Morgan Freeman.

 

[awwsome]

no kyle korver or jj redick?

Seriously you gotta throw in Redick over George, he doesn't even have the ratchet like that.

Nice try, George. 

 

[Master Zik]

Did Brent Barry do two foul line dunks in the same dunk contest?

Oh and Pam Oliver is the easy choice when a Miller is the other option.

ya I think so

My favorite thing ever was a line on Wikipedia (I think it was on the Slam Dunk page, not Barry's page) that said "Brent Barry is the only white boi to win the dunk contest". Yes, spelled "b-o-i".

Paul George is a game shooter I dont understand why hes there. I also thought Klay Thompson should go, but eh what can you do about it. Maybe next year.

They need to split MVP this year more than ever. Every year it becomes a topic but theres little reason to actually go though with it, but this year it has to be done. You cant rob one of these guys from getting it when they both fully deserve it.

 

[Coupé It]

I haven't watched a dunk contest in years but Terrance Ross, James White, and Gerald Green?

This may be the best contest in 12 years.

I don't get it tho, they're playing on the same dunk "team"? How does that work?

 

[proshares]

Osh should love this

Gaystayed hot Wednesday, scoring 25 point(8-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT)) with 12 rebounds, four steals and three assists.

I'm guessing the standard winners still apply, and then theyre going to total up scores from each guys team to see which team

1st round one guy from each team gets eliminated then their scores are added up

2nd round one guy from each team gets eliminated then their scores are added up

3rd round whoever wins wins, and then their scores are added into the team total then the team totals are tabulated.

That seems like the simplest way  but I hope it isnt cause then Green and White wont be dunking against each other at all.

 

[airjordan jb23]

James White & Gerald Green rematch

Ross will add in some nice highlights as well

 

[victor page]

The NBA can never get things right.

You trot out the best dunk lineup in years...and then add a stupid *** "team" aspect to it. Now the two best dunkers in the field can't square off against each other.

someone really needs to tell this guy to stick to the midrange and the post.. Shooting 7 3's is ridiculous for him unless he was hot already.

Love his game but SMH @ George in the 3PT Contest, I know he makes & takes alot of em but there were plenty of better candidates..

 

[buc em]

This should be the best dunk contest in quite some time.
