Andre Iguodala looked pretty good to me..
Nate got something like 15 tries on one dunk - a dunk which was pretty lame anyway

No. How can you name somebody who can't even consistently dunk a dunk champion? One time in a regular game he went up for a wide open dunk and couldn't even do it, he ended up just sort of laying it in. Is that a dunk champion? Has that ever happened to any dunk champion before?

The truth is, Nate Robinson cannot dunk better than andre iguodala. No one can really argue against that. Nate has it a lot more difficult because of his height, but that doesn't mean he's better at dunking. He can't do a lot of stuff that bigger guys can and that alone proves that he technically isn't as good at dunking. But of course I, along with the rest of the world, wants to see the little guy win. So we give him 15 tries and pretend we weren't watching for the first 14.

yes alot of people have argued that Andre Iguodala should have won it. and I give him credit for one dunk, the alley-oop from Allen Iverson.
But his other dunks were not original and he did two similar dunks.
Nate Robinson is 5'7", and it takes ALOT of power to jump like that.
While Andre Iguodala had somewhat more creative dunks, Nate Robinson had more flair.
Given the fact that Nate Robinson was 10 inches shorter than Andre Iguodala, jumped right over Spud Webb, took the ball between his legs and did a 360...
I think Nate Robinson won because of the effort he put into it.
It was a really close matchup that ended in a tie breaker, and thats where Andre got over confident and did a repeat-dunk.
I give both of them props for keeping the excitement of dunking alive.
Yes, Nate Robinson was the better dunker because basketball is not all about the points, its sometimes about the heart, soul and competitive spirit.

I think Nate was too over-rated heading to that contest, because of his height, which is ok, we don't see that everyday. But why change some rules?I can give 50 to anyone under 6' who could slam the ball with power, but not with so much tries. I just thought that it was a competition, contestants should be prepared. I'm just hoping for the next all-star that if they are not going to implement the "two tries" rules, at least they put in some time limit, for it could last for hours. Anyway, just my opinion.

New York bias.
What made this decision easy for the judges was Spud "86 dunk champ legend" Webb vs. Allen "you talkin'bout practice" Iverson.
If Iguodala had UMass/76er great, Dr.J instead of Allen "ball hog" Iverson... Iguodala wins hands down.
Actually, I'm surprised Iverson even passed him the ball...

Andre should have won, because he didn't take an hour to do a dunk.he
It should have been over after Andre threw it off the back of the backboard
