Slam Dunk Contest

 The Slam Dunk Contest is finally over!! As a few of you know, Justin was in charge of running BYU-Idaho's Slam Dunk Contest this year, and he had been really busy as the event got closer. The week of the event, it seemed as if he was never home because he not only had to market and prepare for the event, he still had class, and work. Being a new mom and all, it was really hard for me to be by myself and not have someone else to hand JD off to when he was being fussy. But, I'm glad it's all over now, and the show turned out great!

I wish I had taken some pictures of the event, or the newspaper on campus had at least written something about it. It did every other event that happened this last weekend, except the Slam Dunk Contest. :( I'll sum it up for you. There was a 3-point shoot out for both men and women, a little man's dunk contest, and then the slam dunk contest itself (for those 6' and up). I had 2 favorite parts of the show. I liked the little man's dunk because they were way more creative. There was one that was absolutely hillarious to me. It was a "parody" of this:



And for your entertainment... this is how he did it:




He ended up winning the little man's dunk contest. Another favorite part of the show was one of the performers, called Proform Airborne. They were absolutely amazing! People were standing on their feet cheering them on. Here's another video I found online performing at another event.



All in all, it was a fun and exciting event! Good work Justin! :)
