I understand that Parker made her dunks and the guys missed theirs. I understand that is why she won. I heard from somewhere that she was using a 28.5 inch ball. When you do a windmill or some other type of fancy dunk, and the ball hits the back of the rim, there is a reason why it hit there. It is because you could not hold on to the ball long enough. When you dunk a basketball, you jump with your hand under the ball. But when it comes time to throw it through the rim, you must flip your hand so it is on top of the ball. Now if your hand can not hold the ball, that is how it hits the back of the rim. Hold you hand so the palm is facing up, and pretend there is a ball in your hand. Now you are at the rim, you must flip your hand over in order to throw it down. Flip your hand palm down. Now if you were not able to palm the ball when you flipped your hand, where would the ball have gone? It would have hit the back of the rim. Exactly where many of the men's dunks hit. I don't have a problem with men cometing when women, but they should be on a level playing field.
So Mark Dexter wants to see the 3 point contest with men and women. Ok well that sounds fine. Ohh hold on. Sudden rule change for next year. Women are moving their three point line in to 18 feet. Ok well that is fine. Guys can shoot from 19'9" and women from 18'. I mean that is what they do in their games, so why should it be any different in this competition?
In order for it to be fair everything must be the same for everyone. The isn't the PGA and Casey Martin. People should not have things easier than their opponents.
