I really think they should bring in a few NBA players and a couple of the YouTube dunkers to compete in the dunk contest. That would liven up the dunk contest and show a lot more creativity.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 1:43 pmThe players don’t even give an effort, it’s pathetic and pointlessIndy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 1:15 pmIt is awful. I mean, the stuff they do, any middle school player can do. And probably not much slower than they do. It isn't a test of skill. And head-to-head sounds like a good idea, until you watch it. Put some real skills in there, make it timed (or scored, like you get 5 passes to make as many of those as possible). Then top 5 advance to finals or something. But ugh, the current iteration sucks.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 12:58 pmYou’re never going to get all the best players on the court competing at a high level for a game that doesn’t mean anything. This has been the case for as long as I remember when it comes to the all-star game. I think you just have to view it in a different light...or just don’t watch it, like Bobster said.
The Elam ending stuff is fun. Though it didn’t matter this year. I’m all for getting creative. Maybe have 4 captains select 7-man teams and do shortened tournament style games, put a 4pt shot on the court, etc. I like they’ve added longer shots to the 3pt contest. I feel like they could change up the skills challenge..that one is mostly a dud.
I would really like to go back to a HORSE game (but I assume you sponsor it so they play NIKE or something).

LeBron James killed the dunk contest.
When he was young and declined to participate, it became uncool to be in the dunk contest. There's been a stigma attached to winning the dunk contest for a while now because those players get labeled as "dunkers" or "athletic players". Combine those two factors and now we're here with fringe rotation players and G-League players in the dunk contest.
No way in hell would a decent NBA player enter a dunk contest with YouTubers or "professional" dunkers. Their ego's couldn't handle it.

So, it turns out I was right that Ayton’s empty whirling dervish move would make Shaqtin’ A Fool.
