    Let's say these 4 are in the dunk contest finals next year. Who would you put your money on to win?

    I honestly only watch all star events when a Blazer is in them.

    this is where I'm at...actually it's the only basketball I enjoy watching period. I keep saying I'll go watch the Ducks play but haven't since Dillon Brooks played there.

    "Next Years Dunk Contest"
    Should just be cancelled after what we have seen the past few years.
    Even Anfernee's win was .......boring.
    Until non-bench players compete again, it just isn't worth it any more.
    Guess MJ, 'Nique, and Spud set the bar waaaay too high for these guys.

    Lower the rim and put Hasbulla in the dunk contest.

    I actually did this for my Nephew. Put his rim at 8 ft so he could dunk when he was 12-13 years old. Now he's 15 and 10 ft is within reach. All the jumping and practice is paying off.

    Sharpe, and it ain't close for dunking. I like Mathurin's game, he's so smooth, but Sharpe's skillset is off the chain. Ivey, ok, didn't see amazing leaping ability. Looks like a nice facilitator. I think Mathurin is the best pro of the bunch, and wish the Blazers would draft him. But we need the PF in John Collins the most, IMO. We haven't had a quality PF since LA.

    Agree. I'm Blazers 365/24/7. I do fantasy basketball so i pay attention to other games during the regular season, but once Fantasy BBall is done , and the Blazers are out, i'm out. I give Zero Fucks once our boys aren't involved.

    I don’t even watch when they’re in it. All star games in all sports are so boring to me

    Even if the NBA dunk contest had Ant, Dame, and Nas in it, I'm not sure it would get me that excited. I even prefer the 3pt contest to it at this point.
