(Taurian Fontenette – the real dunk champion)

This weekend the NBA subjected us to some very un-All-Star performances. First was Paul Pierce, a career 36.9% free-throw shooter, winning the 3-Point Contest. Then Nate Robinson, a 5’9″ non-All-Star, won his 3rd straight Dunk Contest. At least the All-Star Game was decent last night but I wasn’t aware that Usher was still popular? Is that the best they could do?

Anyway, I felt bad for myself, and ultimately bad for our SportsBore followers, so I decided to scour the world in search of the real slam dunk champion. And here is who we came up with:

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

1. Taurian J. Fontenette aka “The Air Up There” aka “Mr.  720.”

2. Deuce Bello, a high school player who pulled off an under-the-legs dunk during a game.

3. Chand aka “Area 51″ who is only 5’7″ and pulled off an under-the-legs dunk. Area 51 got his nickname because he has a 50″+ vertical leap, which is only 3 inches shorter than mine on a trampoline… a big trampoline.
