I agree.
Nate Robinson's size should be seen as a factor. Imagine if there were a boxing match (between a 7 foot boxer and a 6ft boxer) where the fight went to a judges decision. Would the judges base the fight on who fought better or would the judges give it to the smaller guy because he had a disadvantage? NO! You give it to the guy who's more creative, powerful, athletic, and original. All of Iguodala's dunks were original (or close) where as Nate Robinson did dunks that highschool players have been seen doing. He was clearly robbed.
Iguodala should've won last years contest and this year I believe that he would've defended it if he would have done anything even close to what he did last year. This year's contest was just plain boring and predictable. Nate Robinson did the same dunks that have been done a million times and the other contestants weren't original either.

He got robbed. The judges were so tired of seeing dunks after nate robinson missed like 100 in a row that they didn't want it to end in a tie so they changed Iguodala's final score at the end. watch the tape of it, the final judge switched his score after he saw what the other judges scored. the height issue has no place in the debate. i'm shorter than nate robinson so i'm not hating on short people. it's a dunk contest not a height contest. the only thing that should matter is your dunk.

naw Nate had more impressive dunks
Iggy's dunk behind the backboard probably was the best dunk in slam dunk history but that dosen't mean he should have won just 4 that
They tied last year so I thought they would have to bring Iggy back, they should have instead of tyrus

Personally, I'd like to see little Earl Boykins square off in the competition against Mavs owner Mark Cuban. And I'd even allow for Cuban to use a trampoline, just like the mascots do. While I'm at it, I think I'd like to see David Stern be the sole judge of the competition, and then Cuban could whine about how he got screwed afterwards. Alas, where is Julius Erving, or Michael Jordan, when you need them.

Andre Iguodala was seriously robbed. There's no excuse for why he didn't win. The dunk from behind the backboard is one of the best I've seen since the Jordan era.

Iggy had some great dunks unfortunatly he used his best dunks in the first round instead of the 2nd.
Robinson's 2nd round was better and that's why he won

it's all about timing, he did the RIGHT dunk at the WRONG time...Nate won fair & square...I do think that Iggy should have been in this years competition.
