Got a Dunk Contest idea for Rudy?????

I have been wondering what Rudy Fernandez could do to make this Dunk Contest interesting. I have heard comments like using a trampoline, rainbow soccer trick or alley oop. I have a couple of ideas of my own and I am encouraging fans to post some of there ideas for Rudy! I'll throw my ideas out there.
Dunk #1 Rudy dribbles the ball from half court with his feet like it is a soccer ball, he then flips the ball up with his foot towards the rim and he jumps up and grabs it and reverse slams it.
Dunk #2 Rudy sets the ball on his foot, kicks it up toward the rim, uses his head to hit the ball of the backboard and then catches it and jams it!
I hope we get some good ideas or creative ones!

Rainbow - Dunk!!
As a soccer player myself, I like the idea of incorporating a soccer trick into the dunk. I like the rainbow move as an alley-oop to himself. It has a very high degree of difficulty and has a lot of flair and creativity, so if he could pull it off it would bring down the house! Plus it fits perfectly with his background and culture. Another option is to use Sergio to help set him up, kind of like Amare tried to use Steve Nash a few years ago.
Rudy cannot match the athleticism of the other three in the contest, so he is going to have to rely on flair and creativity to compete. I don’t think he will disappoint!

Not everything is lost.
Rudy: “Little by little we are convincing Sergio. We have been practicing. All of Spain we have to convince him to help me to make alley oops in the dunk contest.”
My idea: a blind alley oop. Using a high paper wall like a folding screen. Rudy and Sergio have eye contact only when Rudy starts to run. Rudy runs and has to find the ball and dunk with no sight on the ball until he´s close to the hoop.
Sergio + Rudy = 16
Sergio + Bayless = 16
Batum 8+8=16

How about punting the ball from the opposite basket, up towards (or over) the scoreboard then catching it on the bounce and dunking.
And why only soccer skills? How about Rudy dressed in a matador outfit, prancing around the ball, then he just skewers it with a sword and walks off the court. Maybe he catches a rose boquet alley-oop and dunks it.

i think this might have been done before, but it works
after lamarcus makes the all-star team, he gets dressed up in an orlando magic #12 jersey. he stands on the left side of the key. rudy comes driving in from the right. lamarcus moves over to challenge rudy. then rudy elevates and dunks over him.

Why have anyone dress up?
Call out Howard, and see if he’ll try to help his own chances in the dunk contest by guarding Rudy himself. But when Rudy “dunks on his face” against a real defender (unlike the others in the contest) then victory is assured.

it was in the olympics
i agree. didn’t nate robinson do that so someone could jump over him?
here is a rudy dunk clip in the espanol

Nate jumped over Spud Webb
But I like the idea of Rudy calling out Dwight though.

…and then I think the next year Gerald Green brought out a cardboard cutout of Nate, which was eventually replaced by the real Nate

Howard seems like he has a pretty good sense of humor
he might go for something like that.

How about a twist...
Rudy goes up for the dunk and Howard just bearhugs and catches him out of mid-air. Then while the audience is still laughing, he walks over to the basket, still holding Rudy up, who then dunks the ball like you are holding your 3 year old up to the rim.

Well this one sounds dandy to me :)
I really like the ideas about adding some sick soccer moves…it would be unique. We all have heard Dwight talking about having a phone booth (so he can change from Superman to “Dwight Kent” i guess???) incorporated into his dunk…kinda sounds lame to me. I bet Rudy can win off creativity alone.

take the net off of the hoop
and double dunk the ball.

how about
he tells everyone that he’s going to do a futball dunk
Then he hikes the ball between his legs to Sergio football style does the Ray Lewis dance then spears Sergio tackling him to the ground then Merton Hanksing it to the basket for the dunk and FTW!

The Panty Dropper
He does what ever dunk he was planning on doing, and then afterwards, he takes out a pair of panties and drops them on the court as an exclamation point.

Rudy should pull out KG from the audience
And jump over him for a dunk. He will inevitably end up kneeing or kicking him on the way up as seen here (f.forward to 26 seconds if impatient) , but I would be entertained.

by lethaldose on Jan 21, 2009 2:25 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
you've almost got it right
Pull KG from the audience, patiently set him up under the basket. Rudy then should take his time getting ready (practicing jumping, tossing the ball to himself, etc). Then Rudy should run up to KG from the top left side of the key, dribbling the ball between his legs, and then throw the ball up into the air off the glass, and then punch KG in the face.

Rudy dunks Blaze the Trail Cat.

no
I don’t think the cat would fit?

I think he need to think outside the box
instead of dunking a ball, he should have Oden, LA, Roy, Bayless or who ever throw Sergio up in the air and have Rudy ally oop Sergio

Okay, seriously.
Here’s a dunk that probably isn’t even doable, but anyone who could pull it off would win the competition easily: do a somesault as you rise toward the hoop. Hasn’t Slamson done that? Do they allow trampolines?
Or follow the trend in ice skating. Fifty years ago, the flying 360 was impressive. Now they have to spin four times while in the air to get anyone to sit-up and take notice. We’ve all seen 360 dunks, but has anyone done a 720? Of course, ice skaters aren’t flying at a metal rim when they perform…

If he uses a trampoline, it wouldn’t be that impressive. Blaze the Trail Cat does those at the end of the 3rd quarter

If Sergo comes with...
Sergio stands at half court or 3/4 court (or however far away they feel comfortable) and volleys (kicks) the ball to Rudy for an alley-oop.
that would be something new and creative that the judges should give a respectable score to.
by Riboflavin on Jan 21, 2009 4:35 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I call it "The Surprise Double Alley-Oop"
Step 1. Rudy should have Oden come onto the court, and give him the ball.
Step 2. Everyone will think that Oden is going to throw the alley-oop to Rudy.
Step 3. Oden throws a high pass to Rudy, who doesn’t dunk it but passes back to Oden, who is running towards the hoop.
Step 4. Oden catches the ball in mid-air and throws down a huge monster two-handed windmill dunk that they feel in the upper deck.
Personally, I don’t want to see a weak Rudy dunk. I want Dr. J. I want air Jordan. I want Vinsanity. The cupcake? Stickers? Soccer kicks? Really? Please, this isn’t my 5-year-old daughters birthday party.
Remember the power meter that they had for the Vince Carter dunk contest that showed how powerful his legs were to elevate him above the rim? Rudy would barely register on that.

I got some
He should put some white powder on the rim and snort it as he dunks.
He should smell his finger like this as he does a behind the back alley-oop.
He should put a churro in the net and take a bite of it as he dunks.
He should wear a wrestling shirt and do the X-Pac suck-it before dunking an alley-oop.

The first time Manute Bol ever dunked
he chipped his two front teeth on the rim. I’d give him a 10 for that.
