I am sorry, I vote for the kid at Eagle Landing High, he’s doing the same dunk in every game. I wish he know about the dunk contest.

Man I have a partner who is in a whellchair that can slam better than these cats. No 360! No Tamahawk! No damn creativity @ all just nothing. I know, I’m being to hard or could it be they are just to soft.

Vote Jamil Saaka! He did the 360 in the first round and is the only one who has accomplished something else equally as hard in the 2 handed reverse from the base line!

Nick I was wondering the same thing! If they spent as much time doing their homework as practicing dunking they would be Rhodes Scholars.

What happens when multiple people want to vote in one household and only have one computer??? It’s not fair that it’s restricted to one vote per computer. One person in the house might think that someone elses dunk is better than another persons choice in the same household. The site managers might want to work on that.

How do you vote. I’ve only seem one to vote on. Saaka. I wish though it was Jashon Cobb. He knows me. I voted for Travis Leslie last, and I would vote for Saaka, only if I knew how.

If you want to talk about the regional basketball results and share your opinion about who will win the 1st round of the state tournament for class 5A, join me at http://norcrosshighbasketball.blogspot.com/ and make your comment. I think there is a lot to talk about.

The best slam dunk in 2010 was the posterization of Donte Williams (Miller Grove) by William Shaquille Goodwin (Southwest Dekalb) on January 29, 2010.

Who cares…..If you practiced all year long in the gym, dribbling, shooting jumpers, stuffing baskets, you’d better be good or you’re just wasting your time……which you probably are anyway. You would probably be better off taking more classes, and studying more to reach a life goal that doesn’t include basketball. And you sportswriters who cover these asinine events, why don’t you get busy covering the high school basketball games that the AJC dismisses as insignificant.

If we were discussing points per game, three point shooting, or mvp I would say the short guy Adam Smith but since we talking just dunks The Kid From Westlake

I agree fully with SuperCoach the short guy (Smith) has got the most serious game on the court. Dunkwise it goes to Jeff Newberry.
