    I agree with the way the judges are handling this so far.

    Aaron Gordon was robbed last year but he deserves to be first out this year.

    GR3's first dunk was best of the night so far. Pretty lack luster dunk contest overall.

    No-Name can't jump over 3 people because he has them lined up wrong--the tallest is first and should be last. So he can ascend over them. 4th try and he fails.

    A better name for No-Name is Chicken Legs. He has no weight so it's easy to dunk high. He was the best but is now disqualified.

    I think no-name baby long-legs was the best as well but you can't miss and expect to win.

    One of the weaker Saturday nights in recent memory.

    Last years is hard to top. KAT in the skills, the crazy shootout in the 3pt and Gordon Vs Lavine in the dunk contest.

    Dunk contest over, no summary as usual. No scores posted on the TV screen so we have to go by memory. I'm sure results are on NBA.com. Glenn Robinson the 3rd won but he wasn't the best. Show is ovah. End of telecast.

    This marks the 30th unsatisfying Dunk Contest in a row, a record in futility unmatched since the Ancient Greek Olympics.

    Looks like it was deleted, lol.

    It was a poll.

    Which is more flat?

    I tuned in for dunk contest and saw a drone with a ball and heard "powered by intel" and turned it off.

    I watched the "Rising Stars" game - that was pretty entertaining. The World looked head and shoulders better than the US, and that was without Simmons and Embiid. And Dragan Bender, although he's been kind of a disappointment so far.

    The World is seriously short on guards, but long on very skilled big men. And shouldn't Karl Anthony Towns have been on the World team? He was for the Hoop Summit:
