    We should get him as filler when we trade Simons to ORL

    Yeah that was 2000 I believe. The Jason Richardson contests were sick. That was 2003 I believe and from that point on they’ve been really bad!

    You should be required to do at least one dunk where you don't push off on somebody holding the ball. That's cheating! That's basically why Tom Chambers' dunk looks so impressive when Chambers, while a decent leaper, certainly wasn't top tier.



    Even a little push off (like what McClung did on all his) makes a huge difference.

    And the dunk contest will continue to be stupid until the NBA can figure out a way to get there stars to participate.

    They should encourage them to go on ice, and fight.

    I like the idea of a 1 vs. 1 tournament. We could see LeBron vs. KD, Dame vs. Steph Curry, Clingan vs. Joker. Some great matches like that.

    What about making contestants adhere to the rules of the game? Dribble the fucking thing or take a lob. Having a car out there is dopey.

    Gimmicks ruined the dunk contest. A dunk over a car is no more impressive than a dunk not over a car, if it's the same dunk.

    Plus, dude has played 5 games in the league. That's what is the biggest joke.

    I think it’s been 15 years since I watch a single second of an NBA All Star game.

    Actually I know it was 15 years. Because I had just had surgery and was heavily sedated. I turned the channel halfway through.

    I think it might be fun for the kids though.
