I am not trying to be sexist, but there is no way that Candice Parker shouold win this dunk competition. Have any of you actually watched it on tv, or have you just read about it? The men are going up doing some nice looking dunks, you know windmill, spinning, cool looking stuff like that. Then Parker comes along, she has 3 dunks in the first round. She misses one of them and the other two she makes, but they are just standard jump of the left foot and dunk with the right hand. She did that dunk twice. Then in the finals she gets 4 dunks. She misses one and makes three. Two of them are again standard one hand dunks. Then on her last one, she covers her eyes when she is running towards the basket, but when she jumps she moves her hand off her eyes and she dunks it, again the standard off one foot dunk. I understnad the guys missed a few dunks which cut their point totals, but there is no way she should have won. She did nothing exciting or out of the ordinary. The only thing she had going for her is she was a woman. If any guy did the dunks she did he would not have won.
