Team Giannis should have played the super big lineup of: Gobert, Embiid, Siakam, Giannis, Bam

And Jones had to use to hand to propel over Bam. You don't really think the better dunker won do you?

Gordon cleared Tacko pretty well on the takeoff, not even really using him to launch from, but boy did he nutmeg him on the way down.

Gordon didn't clear Tacko. Not even close. He basically dry humped his head.

Gordon's baseline dunk was sick and probably the dunk of the night but overall Jones Jr was better.

I agree about that Gordon dunk. I think Jones Jr was a little too reliant on the between the legs move.

Kyrie being elected VP of the players union really illustrates how uneducated NBA players are.

I disagree and thought Gordon was better overall. But both were good. I thought Gordon had the best dunks when he lost to Levine too but it doesn't really matter.

Smaller guys just look cooler dunking. I agree that Gordon beat Zach in 16.

Both guys put on a show. DJJ did go the between the legs a bunch, but he had some good twists on it. Jumping over a guy, off the backboard and then between the legs is pretty sick. That or Gordon's off the side of the backboard was probably the dunk of the night.

The scoring was atrocious. Just like it always is. They need to switch to a round by round by competition. No more scores. Each round they have to vote for a winner. At least do that when you get down to the last two.

tl;dr
Finals should be 3 rounds, judges vote for a winner each round. First guy to win 2 rounds wins the whole thing.
