SI.com's Marty Burns Dunk Grades

	Chris Andersen Grade: B- First-Round: 42, 46; 88 (Total) Did not advance Analysis: Showed white men can jump with two solid jams, but judges decided his efforts weren't quite hair-raising enough.

	Ricky Davis Grade: C First-Round: 45, 31; 76 (Total) Did not advance Analysis: Must have been trying to get himself a triple double. Twice muffed attempts in which he threw the ball to himself off the backboard.

	Fred Jones Grade: B+ First-Round: 50, 42; 92 (Total) Advanced to finals Championship: 50, 36; 86 (Total) Won championship Analysis: Might have won by default, but he did record two 50s -- one of them an amazing reach-back that had to make his homeboys proud.

	Jason Richardson Grade: B First-Round: 45, 50; 95 (Total) Advanced to finals Championship: 45, 33; 78 (Total) Finished second Analysis: Fumbled his chance to win an unprecedented third Slam crown. But his off-the-glass, between-the-legs tomahawk was the night's best.
