Iman Shumpert will be in the Dunk Contest

Breaking news at this hour! We've got another Knick participant (possibly a couple?) to All-Star Weekend at the end of the month. From ESPN's Marc Stein:
Just going up at ESPN online: Dunk contest field is Budinger, Paul George, Shumpert and Derrick Williams. And, yes, Jeremy Lin involved, too
Lin won't be dunking at All-Star Weekend but has been invited to "assist" Shumpert along lines of Baron lobbing to Blake in 2011 contest
A few things:
1. That seems like a pretty awful list of dunkers, but it's more about how seriously folks take it than how talented they are at doing slam jams, so you never know.
2. You knew they'd find a way to rope Lin into All-Star Weekend. That "Shooting Stars" nonsense still sounds like a possibility, too.
3. The dirty secret here, as any Knick fan can tell you, is that Shumpert has been pretty awful at doing dunks (and at the rim in general) this season. In fact, Shump's converted just 10 of 15 dunks he's attempted (a number I was saving for a post later today). There's no doubt that Iman is incredibly athletic and great at leaping, but the guy's been waaaaay over-ambitious and excessively fancy at the rim so far this year, and...wait, that sounds exactly like an ideal dunk contest participant. As Chairman Meow pointed out, Shump showed us plenty of ridiculous things this summer.
Anyway, congratulations to Shump (and to Jeremy, I guess). For all of his struggles at the rim, Iman does strike me as the kind of guy who'll have fun with the Dunk Contest and try something entertaining. Looking forward to watching him do cool slam dunk shots. Feel free to share your ideas for Shump (including ones that involve Jeremy) in the comments.

Iman Shumpert Dunk Tracker
Shumpert did not attempt any dunks last night. He is still 10-15 on dunk attempts this year.
Fun Fact: Shumpert is the first Knick in the Dunk Contest since Nate Robinson

Thank you for this
I ran the Iman Dunk Counter earlier in the season but uh kinda lost track as he’s underwhelmed.
Then again, he is just a rook

Shump should put on a Jeremy Lin mask during the competition!
I think that would be a cool dunk.
Surely, as long as Lin is feeding him the ball, he can't miss
Lin will rack up 10 assists in the dunk contest alone. He might even get a rebound and a put-back.

How the hell
Does Chase Budinger get picked over Jeremy Evans??
great white hope
i’d replace derrick williams with evans.
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
Budinger has hops man
Evans should definitely be in there somewhere though. …

didnt he do a dunk contest?
either in high school or college? i know i heard about his dunking exploits before he made it to the NBA

they didn't want anybody else named Jeremy involved
It would have taken attention away from Lin’s passes. Sadly, this might actually be true.

Congradulations Shumpert!
Now can C.Anthony speak up about having I.Shumpert start at the two spot to form the Lin/Shumpert backcourt.
Coach D’Antoni is a stubborn asshole and should be gone asap along with his coaching staff of misfits.
Thank you Carmelo for having the balls to stand up to D’Antoni and telling him to play Lin.
Now can you tell the clown coach to start Shumpert at the two, so wie can win games in the future against better teams.
Yes L.Fields can play SF, B.Walker can play SG, J.Jeffrie, S.Novak and J.Harrellson can play PF in the second unit based on relief and matchups.
We can win more with this lineup and the bullshit D’Antoni system is not the reason but the players.
Carmelo thank you again for speaking up. Now keep it up and don’t be afraid to say something to D’Antoni. D’Antoni won’t be here next year. You wil and the other players will.
Oh I get it
When we lose, we blame D’Antoni. When we win, we give credit to the players. Gotcha.

Overrated
Coach D’Antoni system is not why the Knicks won seven games in a row.
His system is overrated and when Shumpert and Carmelo are starting they will win more.
System does not win games. Players that play win games.
Just stop and watch, you see the players we have do not even come close to D’Antoni system.
GM/Grunwald brought in players for the bigger picture towards winning NBA Championships.
That will happen when we get a new coach.
Doesn’t pissed you off that D’Antoni was to stubborn to put Lin in? Carmelo had to step up and tell him to play him.
Now with Carmelo coming back to play SF. Do you really think Fields is better all around player to start at the two over Shumpert? Your a fool iif you say yes.
Just hope Carmelo speak ups in favor of Shumpert.
Remember how W.Chandler was jerked around by D’Antoni last year in favor of Prince Gallinari? D’Antoni is a asshole and very big one at that.
speaking of assholes

Coach d'antoni isn't perfect.
he’s a little one sided. His temper is a bit short. He’s a bit unemotional.
But he Believes in the point guard system. In fact, i think the logical extension of his system is to remove the need for a shooting guard.
A center and a power forward for offensive rebounds, a 3 point specialist, and then 2 point guard quality shooters.
Think about how Landry got 5 assists against the Kings last night.
I like Shump. And he’s great on defense. But how killer would Shump be if he learnt some basic PG passes. How killer would lin and Landry be if they could D like Shump?
Granted, lin being the main PG means he can’t really expend energy like shump but I’m pretty sure a Shump/Landry Combo is greater than anything Carmelo can offer.
Carmelo needs to relearn all his skills to fit into D’Antoni’s system.
landry had 7 assists in toronto
in general landry has been playing spectacular ball for the past month and change. look at a game log if you must. there’s a few off games. but all in all, he is really playing great team-oriented basketball.
with the sudden emergence of whats his face at point guard, you have to consider what fits best for the team. lin needs the ball. shumpert needs the ball. pretty soon melo is gonna need the ball. landry never needs it. and when he’s got it, he makes simple and effective plays.
not to ruffle anyone’s feathers- but lin is not perfect, and he turns the ball over at an alarming rate. its not that big of a deal, because he’s young and thrust into the spotlight. but shumpert has the same issue. does our starting backcourt really need to average 8 or 10 turnovers a game? or is 4 or 5 a better number?
does our bench need someone to come in and instantly provide feverish ballhawking while having freedom on the offensive end? or should we have a steady presence who doesn’t need the ball, and does everything capably?
i ask you?!

Coach D'Antoni's system
Requires a point guard who can penetrate, dish, and run the pick and roll…see Steve Nash. D’Antoni’s system can’t work with Carmelo at the point. It’s great for isolation plays, but running the actually offense will be better now that Lin is involved.

AWESOME!!!
__________________________________________________
"He who gets the best players usually wins" - Bobby Bowden
(I mean, on this last one
it may well be true, but a) D’Antoni likely takes some feedback from his players into consideration in general, and b) I will wager that he did not make this decision, nor others, on the command of any one player. And I am sure that this is not something Melo demanded and butted heads with D’Antoni on. But that’s a bit wordy for memery.)
whether worded or memed
you hit the disease on the inoculation.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
also tho
can’t remember where, but d’antoni said that management was on the fence of whether or not to cut him. in order to have an open roster spot. so everyone wanted to see what they had before they made a final decision.
and d’antoni, that asshole, said that toney just couldn’t hit a shot to save his life, so he gave lin a chance in boston. d’antoni thought it was a mixed bag. and then obviously the next game against new jersey.
now the system is top ten in defensive efficiency and looking to improve on the offensive end. the only side of the ball where people are willing to give him credit. baffling.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
Good points
The context of the decision is important. Nothing is as simple as Dizzy would like it to be.
its true
lin said on boomer & carton this morning that melo vouched for hm
patriots---mark sanchez is the greatest--keep him
jets--we're getting peyton to kick ur butts
giants---dont worry little step-brother we'll protect you from them big bad pats
Right, I actually don't doubt that
it’s more the way that Dizzy put it, as if D’Antoni resistant to playing Lin and only did it because Melo pressured him to. As stingy pointed out, there were a lot of factors at play.

Ok, let me see where I should start
Nah, I’ll just blockquote and reply:
Coach D’Antoni system is not why the Knicks won seven games in a row.
His system is overrated and when Shumpert and Carmelo are starting they will win more.
Shump and Carmelo were playing before Lin exploded onto the scene. Carmelo isn’t playing now, and they’re still managing to win games. As for the system being overrated, you can’t really say that because it’s been criticized for so long. If anything, it’s underrated. And the opinion of people (whether it’s over/underrated) has nothing to do with the system itself. If you said that the triangle offense is the best thing since sliced bread, you’d be overrating it, but it’s still a damn fine system.
System does not win games. Players that play win games.
So you honestly think that if D’Antoni and the staff stopped working and the players had to figure shit out by themselves, that they’d be better? Because if not, then you’re being a hypocrite buddy.
Just stop and watch, you see the players we have do not even come close to D’Antoni system.
I’ve stopped, I’ve watched, and I’ve seen them play the D’Antoni system. It’s a PG oriented system, where the PG sets the tone of the offense. I’ll say it again…the PG is the most important player of the offense, and the D’Antoni’s system (or how we’ve been playing since Lin has started to play) needs a PG with a good basketball IQ. We’ve been putting Bibby/Douglas/Shumpert at the 1 a couple of games ago. See where I’m going with this?
GM/Grunwald brought in players for the bigger picture towards winning NBA Championships.
That will happen when we get a new coach.
Good, I’m glad GM/Grunwald is doing his job. You know, bringing in players to assemble the best team possible. Funny how we have a team built for the D’Antoni system though. A couple of very good shooters, a high basketball IQ PG (not Grunwald’s plan, but still), and two big men that are very good at rolling to the basket. Or do you still think that bringing defensive players in means D’Antoni is gone?
Doesn’t pissed you off that D’Antoni was to stubborn to put Lin in? Carmelo had to step up and tell him to play him.
Piss me off that he was hesitant to start a D-League player that the FO was about to cut and didn’t figure in the teams’ long term plans? Not one bit.
Now with Carmelo coming back to play SF. Do you really think Fields is better all around player to start at the two over Shumpert? Your a fool iif you say yes.
Call me a fool then. It’s debatable, as Shumpert has been very important on the defensive end, but Landry is playing lights out. And yes, he was playing well before Carmelo got injured too. He’s been absolutely dominating once Lin started feeding him when he was cutting to the hoop.
Now with Carmelo coming back to play SF. Do you really think Fields is better all around player to start at the two over Shumpert? Your a fool iif you say yes.
Very big asshole? Comparing him to a regular sized one wouldn’t do it justice?

dantoni still got to go
but i think shumpert serves us better coming off the bench,he bring more energy off the bench than fields would in my opinion.it might be because of time spent together but they dont run the system like the suns use to.anyway we will never win a championship with dantoni.i sure u guys see mike woodson talks to the team when it comes time to formulate a defense and thats not good.there should be one dominant voice during the game and the assistants should be an extension of the head coach in practice.bottom line is dantoni got to go sooner rather than later
patriots---mark sanchez is the greatest--keep him
jets--we're getting peyton to kick ur butts
giants---dont worry little step-brother we'll protect you from them big bad pats
the first part makes sense.
the second part is just some mein fuhrer nonsense.
a team is a team. tyson chandler won a championship last year. and only two days ago said that the mavericks would not have been able to win a championship without the contributions of dwayne casey.
winning a championship is not as easy as having a good defensive coach become the head coach.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
Uh
i sure u guys see mike woodson talks to the team when it comes time to formulate a defense and thats not good.
No, I don’t see that. How do you know what they’re talking about anyway?
But I also don’t see why it would be a problem. Assistants are supposed to keep quiet?
should assist
but not dominant during game,the coach should do all the setup during the game and be advised by his assistants.they should be extensions of the head coaches philosophy during practice
patriots---mark sanchez is the greatest--keep him
jets--we're getting peyton to kick ur butts
giants---dont worry little step-brother we'll protect you from them big bad pats
maybe its easy for you to understand it that way
but i’ll say this, i’ve played for teams with defensive assistants, and its never some bizarre conflict of interest that keeps me from knowing who to listen to.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
OK
I don’t think anyone who actually runs a basketball team shares your vision that assistants should never direct any part of in-game strategy, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
Also, again, I have never seen Woodson be the dominant voice in a game. I mean, not while with the Knicks.
toronto game
patriots---mark sanchez is the greatest--keep him
jets--we're getting peyton to kick ur butts
giants---dont worry little step-brother we'll protect you from them big bad pats
lmao, i think bins doesnt see that assistant coaches (especially ones who hold a specific skill set such as "defense") should always be in the ear of the players
now i didnt see Woodson “dominating” a time-out but i would, and have seen, for him to pull players to the side While someone is shooting freethrows and point out a couple of things before play resumes. theres absolutely nothing wrong with that and assistant coaches do it all the time.
by blackhova on Feb 16, 2012 1:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I think Bins is referring to the Minny Ha Ha game!
Now Woodson didn’t dominate the timeout, but he did remind the players on the last shot that they didn’t have a foul to give so not to foul on the inbounds. But then again that is usually an assistants job anyway.
by Robert Curre on Feb 16, 2012 4:33 PM EST up reply actions
So Bins when Doc Rivers and Jeff Van Gundy had Thibs on their staffs
It was a mistake that they let him address the team about defensive strategy during timeouts? Geesh sounds really insecure. We cried for D’Antoni to hire a “defensive coordinator,” and when the man hires one, and OMG actually allows him to coach defense during games, we say “umm that’s a problem.” Boy I am glad I am not D’Antoni, dude cannot win with you guys.

For some reason I get this feeling he's going to miss his first dunk
and then pull of a monster jam.
The videos he would post of him throwing down ridiculous dunks after workouts
are like, the only thing that sustained me through the lockout. I might be actually dead if not for those. So basically I think he’ll do great.
there was that one dunk drill
where he just two hand slam jammed for as long as we could, and as aggressively as he could… thats what kept me sane.
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
Well, Nate already proved that you don’t have to be the best dunker in the contest in order to win, so maybe Iman will win because he has the coolest name of the four contestants.
Cmon now
we all know SHump an dunk and dunk well. Why the hell he hasn’t been converting more around the rim, I dunno. Or maybe I do, its that that injury he sustained in the first game of the season and its still fucking with his confidence.
Shump Shump can stuff.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
He always goes for too much...
Tries to hard to make the dunk a statement rather than just finish and get the points on the board….
seth, OT, but a question: what do you do with game threads?
I couldn’t find them in the archives. Do they get deleted? I think the Nets game (start of Lin) out to be archived for posterity?
On an unrelated note
am I the only person who doesn’t really want J.R. Smith because I don’t like him and doesn’t see what he brings to the team anyway?
I don't want him here.

there was talk of trading bibby and balkman together.
i think thats the only way we go after smith. i don’t think we’ll outright cut anybody.
the lakers and timberwolves supposedly have mutual interests and might try to make some type of trade.
maybe we can get involved, giving bibby to minnesota most likely. i kinda want jr smith here, but i’m not gonna be upset if we miss out. but the real point of this comment is to say- its probably complicated to get him here.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
I don't want him...
He can shoot but I like the chemistry we have now. Don’t fix what ain’t broken…
If possible, I'd like to wait to see what, if anything, Baron can bring
If he can’t get healthy enough to give us 15-20 mins of good PG play off the bench, we need to throw some dough at the best FA PG available ‘cause Jeremy Lin can’t play 46 mpg.
But if Diddy does it, I’d say bring on Smith. If he causes trouble, fuck ’em. But if he keeps his head in the game he is a huge weapon to have in the arsenal. He can drop 15 points faster than pretty much anyone else in the league and is a decent playmaker/defender.
yeah..
I don’t really want him because we would have to cut someone and it could mess with the chemistry especially when you have a team that genuinely cares for each other and considers themselves “brothers” not just teammates. If there was a way to bring him on without cutting anyone I wouldn’t mind that because I do kind of want him for the depth.
I have an idea
Shump should re-enact the Starks dunk vs. the Bulls. Have Lin in a Bulls #23 jersey, Melo in a bulls #33 jersey and someone else (there’s probably another all-star who grew up a Knick fan) in a jersey with whatever the fuck Horace Grant’s number was, and have Shump in a Starks jersey and just re-enact that shit.

Novak
First post here, any idea if Novak is goiing to be in the 3pt contest? haha
I wish
would love to see that…I think he would do pretty good…
You just got Tysoned!!!!!!
he's got kind of a slow release for this particular exercise
because he really jumps into his shot. i’d be concerned he would tire out and not finish well, or possibly at all.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
I don't know about that
Dirk and Paul Pierce don’t have fast releases either…and they both won in the past. Novak is a 3 point specialist, which means he probably shoots a ton a day, I don’t think he would tire out either…I would be interested in seeing how he does
You just got Tysoned!!!!!!
oh me too
pierce and nowitzki don’t really jump tho. they are certainly slow. whereas i feel like novak’s movements are quick, but i bet he takes longer to shoot a shot, and then get a ball because he jumps into it.
i dunno! who cares! novak is awesome!
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
I remember watching Novak during the 2006 NCAA 3 point contest...
…and it was no contest. Simply put, the man was an absolute shooting machine. His mechanics were perfect on every shot, and he was able to shoot quickly, cleanly, and accurately on every shot. He completely blew away his competition.
There’s no reason why he can’t succeed in the NBA 3 point shooting contest.

/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
2 feet
I heard some noise about this after Shump was drafted so I watched pretty closely during the season. Shump needs to jump off of two feet in order to get maximum air. Sometimes hes rushed by the D and cant take off on both feet. In a dunk contest that wont be an issue so he can certainly win it all.
You're not a diehard fan if every now and then your team doesn't try to kill you
now I'm gonna be looking at his legs when he dunks! lol...
You just got Tysoned!!!!!!
The most notable 2-footed jumpers that I can think of are...
Dominique Wilkins and Jason Richardson. Dominique’s game was based on his ability to jump into contact, do a pump fake in the air, and then finish. In that regard, his 2-footed jumping actually helped him because his game was essentially a power game in the air. But I don’t really recall Jason Richardson ever being entirely comfortable as an in-game dunker because he’s not really a power player. That’s probably why he’s become known more as a 3 point specialist than anything else.
A finesse game, IMO, requires the quickness that a 1-footed jump brings. With Shump, though he jumps the highest off of 2 feet, I can see him eschewing the need to do so since his jumping ability off of 1 foot should suffice.
by urban analrapist on Feb 16, 2012 4:03 PM EST up reply actions
Jumps to soon
I love Shump for his fierceness and determination. He will only get better. He does sometime go in to hard and too soon on his layups/dunks. He needs to jump a little closer and relax a little more. He goes in too hard sometimes and thats why the layups miss the basket.
he's got such grace and power
the fact that he’s a rookie is really encouraging, he’ll figure it out
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
I feel like he doesn't deserve this just based on the 10/15
but of course, quoth Snoop, deserve got nothin’ to do with it. He’ll probably put on a good show. Have fun, Shump! Don’t hurt yourself please.
I've watched that scene like 19 times
so funny, and such a great “separate American worlds coming together for a moment” moment.
if i'm not mistaken
thats kind of the viewer’s first real initiation to snoop. she’d been around and stuff, but that was the first intimate moments. and to me, its one of the best parts of the entire series. by far.

Even if the Knicks win the weak east division and two rounds of playoffs. D’Antoni and his cast of clowns will be gone next year.
The players win games and in the case of this coaching they are so weak managing games as their played.
Root for the Knicks to win. But also root for D’Antoni to get his walking papers after this season.
