Just happened to catch a reshowing of the high school dunk contest, and I gotta say - her winning is an absolute slap in the face to the other competitors. I won't say I'm not impressed by the fact that a 6'3" girl can dunk. I can barely put my hand on the backboard. And I won't pretend that this is really a big deal. It's a goddamn dunk contest. But honestly - there's nothing anyone can tell me that would justify giving her the victory. Put her on SportsCenter, talk about her on PTI, fine. But don't ruin the whole fucking contest for the guys that can actually dunk well, especially since they only get to do it once.
Shit like this makes me ill.
