Oh shit did he get traded in the last 2 hours?
[QUOTE=PP34Deuce]At 30 he has [B]made millions[/B] off jumping high. It may sting for now but everyone knows the guy can sky high.
I dont feel bad for a guy who has maintained longevity in a basketball career.[/QUOTE]
I doubt he's made millions. He's spent most of his career in the D-League and various teams overseas. He's played a total of 33 NBA games since 2006 for a grand total of 119 points.

The whole point is, his entire identity was associated with being a dunker. That's who he is, what he's been.
He's the Richard Simmons of the basketball world.
But he failed in the biggest moment of his life, yeah I said life not career. Unfortunately for most of these athletes they're life revolves around their sport, for him it was reaching this moment.
We may not understand because for the most part, our lives aren't conditioned towards a specific moment or purpose. He was conditioned to be the NBA Slam Dunk contest winner since he was a junior in high school. Thnk about that. Since he was a junior in high school all everybody associated with him was winning the dunk contest, all day every day by anybody that knew who he was.
And he choked.

Of course not casual fans, but there's still millions that do know him.
[QUOTE=dbk123]lol most casual fans didnt even know who he was. Its not that big of a deal[/QUOTE]
I agree. He's more known with the And 1, street hoops community. I guess it was just meant to be that he choked on the NBA level.

He's scheduled to make 1.7 million from the Knicks alone.

And he was paid 1.1 million from the Pacers back when they drafted him.

That's not counting whatever money he made when he played in Italy, which was prob close to a million for those few years.
I have nothing to add, andgar and Rake already said it.
Those millions of dollars he has or doesn't have (plus a ring with the '07 Spurs - he played six games) can't buy a win in the dunk contest. Life is all about those priceless moments that can't be bought.
Can he go in it again next year?
So hummed for the dude ill always remember his great dunks even in the set
[QUOTE=andgar923]I feel bad for him.
His entire life was geared for this moment. He's been training his entire life to make it to the NBA Dunk Contest. Everybody in the world just knew that he would win it, because well
I expected this Dunk Contest to be an all-time great, where it's a Green vs White showdown. I was really wrong...The final round was sick though with Ross and Evans.
