The 2011 All Star Slam Dunk Contest

The 2011 All Star Slam Dunk Contest was held last night and we have pics from some of the night's most impressive dunks after the cut...

The 2011 All Star Slam Dunk contest was held at the Staples Center in L.A.
Up above, Washington Wizards JaVale McGee brought out a second hoop for one of his attempts and simultaneously dunked on two different hoops.

In this impressive slam, JaVale dunked three balls - two he was carrying and one off an alley from teammate John Wall.

Blake Griffin of the LA Clippers was just ridiculous during his dunks.

For this one Blake finished with his elbow through the rim.

Blake's first dunk of the night was a two-handed, 360-degree slam.

In what would become the contest decider, Blake, jumped over a car as the choir sang "I Believe I Can Fly" to win the contest.
Black folks stay bringing out a choir for any and everything.  They didn't even let the soloist finish his part.  Dude was about to go in. SMH.

DeMar DeRozan, of the Toronto Raptors, made a classic dunk by putting the ball between his legs before slamming home this try.

Serge Ibaka, of the Oklahoma City Thunder, did one of his slam dunks from the free-throw line. Serge  had his foot almost completely behind the charity stripe.

For this dunk , JaVale started from the baseline and had to duck his head to avoid hitting the backboard.

DeMar made this dunk on the first try as he caught his own alley-oop and scooped it up with his right hand before slamming this reverse.
Visually, it was a stunning event to watch.

Blake Griffin Wins 2011 All Star Slam Dunk Contest (VIDEO)

Blake Griffin literally leapt to victory tonight, walking away as the 2011 All-Star Slam Dunk contest winner by making his dunk while jumping over a car.  Get the deets and see the video inside...

LA Clippers star, Blake Griffin, beat out Washington's Javale McGee in the final of the 2011 All-Star Slam Dunk contest.  Earlier in the Saturday evening broadcast on TNT, Blake said the hardest part of the contest was keeping it fresh and new, since most tricks had already been done.  Still, he managed to shock and thrill the audience with his winning dunk.
With former NBA baller Kenny Smith as his mentor and hypeman, Blake paced around the floor as the Crenshaw Select Choir entered the court.  Kenny took the microphone and got the audience excited about what was going to go down.  .
As the choir got into formation, Kenny requested that a 2011 Kia Optima be driven onto the floor of the Staples Center.
Then in an amazing move, Blake started running towards the Kia and as he leapt in the air, he caught a pass from Clippers teammate Baron Davis, who was holding his hand out of the sunroof, and he dunked the ball as he jumped over the car.  All of this happened as the choir sang "I Believe I Can Fly."
It was an amazing moment that will surely go down in All-Star history.

Rick Ross is doing the L.A. thing this week.

Meagan Good went to Sean P. "Diddy" Combs 2011 NBA All Star Weekend Event.

She surprised us with the return of her signature denim cutoffs which she paired with a little lace up above, and some ripped stockings below.  It's time for someone to offer her a jeans collection of her own.

Melody Thornton supported Diddy's event.

And we spotted the big man himself, Sean Diddy Combs.
