    It seemed to me that the hardes part were all of the different passes they had to make. Thats where it was won and lost.

    All four of the point guards struggled to make the shot from the college three. I dont think anyone made it on their first try.

    ...

    ^^^That's true, but they were also rushing the shot hoping to get to the next station as quick as possible...I think if they would've relaxed right there and shot it, it would've went it, but that would cost some time...I just hope people don't remember Steph having his struggles at the passing zones ?

    Next year they should put 6 players, like the 3-Point Shootout. And maybe a little more obstacles, like making you have to do some crossovers or something. I think they took the skills challenge from the Hockey All-star games skills challenge. All in All I think it was good.

    The Dunk Contest was awesome this year, what I was dissapointed about was the stipulation of having a partner do one dunk with you. I think that should be left in. Because it would've exposed more ability for Richard Jefferson and Amare Stoudemire who usually do good off lobs.

    But obviously it's time for VC to come into next year's DUNK contest to compete against the 2 TIME DEFENDING champ Jason Richardson!

    I hate that rule that you cant be in the dunk contest if you have been in the league for about 3 years. Let the real dunkers name there terrotry too!

    They should make the rule if you've been in the dunk contest for at least 3 years, not in the league.
