    For future competitions when it gets to the final 2 it should be done by a vote for one over the other rather than a point system that is pretty much a joke. Also, no more celebrity judges as it should be from ex players, coaches or management of NBA teams doing the judging.. That way you are judging each individual dunk

    No offense, but you sound like your parents generation who thought hip shaking and rock music was the devil.

    It won't if you're not a fan of modern hip hop or his music specifically. But to say Dame was self centered and overly cocky is ignorant IMO.

    I never thought I'd miss Fergie doing the National anthem.

    That was complete trash

    He didn’t die unexpectedly and tragic. Dude lived a full life and pretty much to the expected life expectancy of the United States. Much different

    As one of the only people who liked the new AS format, I feel vindicated.

    That was legit compelling.

    With no Dame, I opted to go ice fishing instead. The ASGs are getting so over the top these days, and without my dude to root for, I may as well not waste a weekend.

    They should hold the next All Star Game at Rucker Park. With chains on the hoop.

    I was just telling my buddy the NBA should do an outdoor series during regular season at different parks and such. The NHL started doing a handful of outdoor games every year and they are a pretty big hit.
