Dunk Contest

[BC867]

Amare came in 2nd and we should all be proud. Especially with the Suns sweeping the previous three events.

But I couldn't help but feel that if Amare were not the last dunker each time it would have given him a psychological advantage.

I don't believe "Dominique" would have gotten a perfect score if he had followed Amare in the final round. By then the momentum was all Smith's.
