We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

I think part of the problem with the current dunk contest is that us fans take it too seriously - because the NBA takes it seriously. Star players don't want to compete in it because of the pressure for them to perform larger than life dunks. And if they fail, everyone remembers. If it were more of an exhibition, with the players just having fun, talking to the crowd and joking amongst themselves, I bet more stars would be willing to participate. I'd rather it be that way, actually. |

I agree Magic Madness. Back when I lived in CT, we used to go to the Uconn rally's before every season. They have a bunch of different events including a dunk off. No real voting or anything, just like an exhibition event. It was a good time. Even get some of the women players dunking..while they weren't anything flashy - it was entertaining. Rudy Gay was definitely the best dunker to come out of uconn, but Stanley Robinson is giving him a run for his money. |
