    I remember the original contest featuring Paul Westphal in the Seventies. It was awesome. I remember him grabbing the side support of the basket and swinging over to dunk it. He got what it took to win. Love to see it. The 2K thing is pure DOOKY!

    Do you not remember the horse game being implemented into the all star game weekend? It was horrible and boring as hell. Not sure it will be very entertaining.

    No Cup i don't. Maybe because you're right that it was that forgettable. But if it's done like it was in the '70s , it could be loads of fun. And if you remembered the original, it was done in an empty practice gym next to the Hawks arena.

    Went to Youtube to watch Durant vs. Rondo. 1st off Rondo has the personality of a rock, and Durant isn't much better. I think the original had more "trick" shots involved. Maybe the NBA could install a mandetory 2 trick shots be installed to jazz it up. Westphal's swinging dunk was pretty cool. I remember alot of hook shots being attempted too. I think if your going to shoot set shots, "Dame Range" would be pretty cool to watch. I could see him making jumpers from half court.

    Go to Youtube and watch the 70's competitions. Maravich/McAdoo very fun. Lots of trick shots. What H.O.R.S.E. should be. The NBA should have players watch this if they do decide to go ahead with it. I'm enjoying these old videos.
