As sad as it is, Brown has to be the biggest name to compete in years right? Ain’t it normally 3 bench players and a G leaguer?

Dwight was in it 2020 but was such a fraction of his prime he didn't even make it out of the first round.

They need to mandate that at least 2 dunk contest participants each be from the all star team selections for each conference. East puts up 2, west puts up 2. This way we can relive the 80’s and the early 90’s.

Not sure what's worse: A slam-dunk contest where today's "far superior" athletes (lol) get 100 tries to make a dunk OR the actual AS game itself, where both teams do nothing but sprint up-down the court chuckin' 3-point bombs at a 30% clip.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Man, how far the NBA has fallen. What a shame too... but then again,anything "woke" is doomed to failure.

Junior High students are doing dunks in 2024 that would have won dunk contests in the 80s/90s NBA.

It's trivial to make a dunk when jaws drop over a dunk where you turn your body slightly and stick out your tongue.

Let’s not go too stupid with our posts. Junior high kids aren’t winning a fucking thing but today’s all star dunks aren’t hardly winning back then at all either.

There are definitely junior high students (and certainly high school, if you think that's exaggerated) who can replicate all the various tomahawk and windmill power dunks Dominique did that everyone ooed and aahed over at the time. Seriously, go back and look at those dunks. There's almost zero creativity in any of them.

The dunk contest is starting to run its course though for sure. I think the sweet spot might have been the early 00s, but I could be wrong.

I think the dunk contest should have shifted to street dunkers with the NBA sponsoring. Maybe do an invite for eight street dunkers and have them go at it. I known I've seen street dunkers do much better dunks than what I saw this years and most post-LaVine/Gordon years.
