That photo - wow. Anyway, some links from last night's Slam Dunk Contest:

• Video and analysis of all of JaVale McGee's dunks. [SB Nation D.C.]
• Let's be real here: JaVale never had a shot once he got to the Finals (and frankly, even before he did). A complete recap of the entire night here. [Michael Lee]
• JaVale raised the bar for future contestants, even if he didn't win. [John Hollinger]
• It was nice to see Pam McGee involved in the festivities. [WNBA.com]
• ... even if Dr. J got a little too close with her. [@jose3030]
• Apparently it was Blake Griffin's idea alone to jump over the car. [Royce Young, CBSSports]
• John Wall exited the Skills Challenge quickly, while JaVale McGee had a coming out party. [Rashad Mobley, Truth About It]
• Steve Perrin of Clips Nation wasn't high on the three-ball dunk, saying it wasn't "basketball" enough. Pssh. The Dunk Contest isn't basketball. [Clips Nation]
• DeMar DeRozan's "Showstopper" dunk is the best dunk of the night according to all these readers? I liked it, but really? [SBNation.com]
• All of the players actually prepared this year, unlike last year. [Jonathan Abrams, New York Times]
• John Wall was not very confident about the Skills Challenge even before it began. [Washington Post]
• And hey, John, what are you doing congratulating Blake? Traitor! [SB Nation D.C.]
