The All Star Weekend in Phoenix is over now, but I have my doubts about the dunk contest that took place. I’m not sure who the NBA thinks they are fooling, but the 2009 dunk contest was fixed. There is no doubts in my mind based on the way the judges scored the dunking. Rudy Fernandez scored a 42 on the hardest dunk of the evening and Dwight Howard received a 50 on his first dunk attempt. Both guys needed several tries to get their dunk right, so I’m not sure how you could take away from Fernandez for attempting his dunk multiple times.

It seems the NBA wanted to create a match up with the tallest dunker in the contest against the shortest slam dunker in the event. Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard was the two NBA players that advance to the finals in the dunk contest. I guess the NBA wanted to insure that the extra props that these two guys brung with them, would get used in the dunk contest. The NBA has to approve all props before hand, so they knew Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard were bringing a little extra to the table that night. Rudy Fernanadez had the best dunk all night long and not many guys could have did that dunk. I hope the NBA never tries to fix another dunk contest again! Do you think there was a fix on the NBA dunk contest?
