Gave Gordon's last dunk a 9 in hopes that the Heat player would win, which he did. He's such a homer.
I was about to say. I lost a lot of respect for Wade right there. I still don't understand how the 2 other judges gave 9s to Gordon for that as well though. WTF? Gordon had 4 50s up to that point and then dunks over the tallest man in the NBA (with Taco holding the ball at that). How did he lose? What an anti-climactic ending to what was otherwise a fantastic dunk contest, probably the best I've ever seen.
after all perfect 50s, and then dunking over Tacko?
It makes no sense whatsoever. It's like the judges were just trying to shock people with an unexpected outcome. I know this contest doesn't really matter but it's just mind-boggling how it ended like that. You could tell even the crowd was stunned, they didn't even cheer when the trophy was presented.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. And on top of how impressive that is, the creativity/showmanship aspect of it was great too and should have won him the trophy.

LOL I believe he was. Snoop Dogg even commented on D. Wade's Instagram about that basically saying it was clearly the weed's fault.
