To commemorate All-Star Saturday Night, Shoals, Mutoni and Skeets exchanged ideas and opinions in a chat room. Part one is here. The highlights of the Sprite Dunk Contest are as follows:
Skeets: Oh, Mike, what are you wearing? Start the "with leather" jokes, peers.
Mutoni: Kobe's earring can be seen from outer space!
Skeets: Why is Ben Gordon passing the ball?
Shoals: Ugh.
Mutoni: Ty Thomas ain't getting no money tonight!
Skeets: He really should have started with that.
Shoals: Over.
Mutoni: Mmmm...
Shoals: Green's motion is just amazing.
Mutoni: Doc and MJ are haters! They gave him 9's. Ridiculous.
Mutoni: Dwight needs to pull his shorts down. Well, unless he's going through the legs.
Shoals: My girl wants to know why Bobby Flay is courtside.
Skeets: I feel so bad for this rim.
Skeets: And with that, we just said three random things and didn't answer a thing.
Shoals: Eff Nate Robinson.
Mutoni: Nate is so street, though. I love him. His head was at the rim.
Skeets: Throw the net up to 12-feet and Dwight would look like Nate. Yawn...
Shoals: "Any time a little midget does something like that. . ."
Mutoni: The dunk contest is back!!!! (Too soon?)
Skeets: Yes, although that was very Steve Francis-y.
Mutoni: Did Ty Thomas just rip the net?
Skeets: Uh-oh. Paxson will probably fine him for that.
Shoals: That was so beyond everything.
Mutoni: AMAZING. D-Howard is God.
Skeets: I think he'd be mad you said that.
Mutoni: Those scores are [EXTREME EDIT]. That was an all-time great dunk.
Shoals: Yeah, that's hating.
Mutoni: New rule suggestion: The judges need to see the replay before giving out scores.
Skeets: Agreed.
Shoals: Robbed.
Mutoni: These scores have me thoroughly depressed. Dwight Howard should beat the hell out of the judges.
Shoals: That Green dunk was just like a normal alley-oop.
Skeets: Gerald should try to rip the sticker down!
Mutoni: Oh, Green's gonna pump the shoes in tribute to Dee Brown.
Shoals: Okay, that's pretty insane. Eff Nate Ronsinon.
Shoals: I haven't said anything good here.
Mutoni: I'm giddy about Green's second dunk.
Shoals: Is that an Abu Graib hood?
Skeets: Dwight's sticker: "All things through Christ. Phil 4:13."
Mutoni: Green and Howard should face off in the finals.
Shoals: I mean, that was fantastic, but no one has ever put a sticker on the top of the backboard before.
Mutoni: Gerald Green hates gravity like Tim Hardaway hates gays.
Shoals: I'm kind of down on this whole thing now.
Mutoni: Yeah, Howard's dunk is the best of the night.
Shoals: Yet another dunk contest ruined by bad planning. Notice my somber tone.
Shoals: But wait, let's be rational here. Howard is an enormous man. All he really did was reach up real high. Not exactly skilled aerial acrobatics.
Skeets: "Yet another dunk contest ruined by bad planning." Great call, Shoals. So true. I'm pretty sure Dwight had some crazy tricks left up his ... shorts.
Mutoni: Sure, it wasn't "skilled" per se, but it was original and charismatic.
Skeets: Sans ball, Dwight could make change on top of the backboard . . . EASILY.
Mutoni: Oh, without a doubt. Howard's athleticism is off the charts.
Shoals: I have never hated Jordan, Kobe, Dr. J and 'Nique as much as now.
Mutoni: I don't hate the judges; I hate that they don't get to see replays before handing out scores. That makes no sense. You can't appreciate most dunks until you see them in slow-mo. Stupid.
Shoals: Did Nate just concede? More of the same.
Skeets: What is Nate doing?
Mutoni: Two minutes to make a dunk!? Nate is drunk.
Skeets: He's better used as a prop for crying out loud...
Mutoni: True, true.
Shoals: Who cares that he's short?
Mutoni: I'm still upset about Dwight's night.
Shoals: That was really blah.
Mutoni: I don't understand Green's dunk. What did that prove?
Shoals: Whatever, Howard doesn't need this.
Mutoni: Ugh. Shut down the dunk contest forever!
Skeets: I'm tired of all this passing in DUNK contests.
Mutoni: I can't watch this. I'm in physical pain. Nate Robinson: I hate you! Just give the rest of your dunks to Green.
Skeets: Congrats, Nate. You somehow managed to screw up two consecutive dunk contests.
Shoals: "I'm happy for him."
Shoals: Green just jumped over a table. Who cares?
Skeets: *laughing uncontrollably*
Mutoni: How was that a 50?
Shoals: Seriously, isn't that table shorter than Nate?
Skeets: Um, yeah, Gerald? I think your little brother might be the worst video game player ever.
Mutoni: At least a few curse words from Green got through the TNT censors. There's that.
Shoals: I expected a lot more of him. What's less creative than a table?
Mutoni: Nate Robinson.
Shoals: Knock knock.
Skeets: Who's there?
Shoals: A table.
Skeets: A table who?
Shoals: Life is so short.
Mutoni: I need to go drinking. Very heavily.
Skeets: GERALD GREEN JUST WON THE DUNK CONTEST WITH 9.5 FINGERS!

Dunk contest sucked. Howard got robbed. Lack of creativity is rewarding, apparently.

Was I the only one actively rooting for Nate Robinson to be the first victim of the Nate Robinson Rule? Oh so close...

It is all MJ's leather jacket's fault.

We were all robbed by the Dunk Judges - Howard should have won hands down, or should I say hands up. We were robbed of seeing probably his best that he would have saved till last. NBA make sure he gets an invite back next year with proper judges!

I’ve got to admit, I wasn’t a fan of nate coming in to this event seeing how he robbed Andre last year…but his first dunk was crazy ( in slow mo) ! But after that…he quickly went downhill..
D howard was sick, I would have loved to see more from him….
Congrats to Green…they need something to cheer about in beantown

The sticker dunk was the bidness -- Howard was definitely the victim of janky judging on that one.
Nate's final dunk was *almost* hot just because of the quasi-suspense of hitting it on the very last try.
And Gerald's table dunk was coconuts, I don't know what you fools are talking about. Two feet!
