I mean there definitely has to be a cap on dunk creativity 😂

Mac Mclung is keeping it alive

Here’s a novel idea: make it a dunk *contest*

Mac McClung brought some life to it

Will could definitely jump…probably the high 30s instead of the 40s, but still damn impressive considering he was a big man too

U comparing 1 step ingame jump trying to timing ball with pro dunker dunking.😂😂

Just allow players to make use of trampolines, problem solved

Can you imagine the backlash if people said this after a black player won? Thank goodness a white guy won it so we can complain about it

Hear me out, lay up contests….

its a shooters league right now, just switch it up and do a shooters style contest. let curry go ham on em.

like if he copied jxmyhighroller

You got this

Congrats on 1k subs

They need to stop giving a 50 for dunks. Straight up.

Feels like all star events not just in basketball but all sports are dead

Money ruins sports honestly. It used to be about the pride and entertaining the fans. Now it's 'put a big prize pool in it and it would be better.'

Dunbar high of the '80s still the best

When does it keep coming back to life? Every year there’s a it died video just let it rest

change the dunk contest for a 1v1 contest . first to 10 points . all baskets count as 1 point.

It’s not officially dead,it’s been dead for 20+ years

Basketball been lame since lebron and chris paul started flopping

What if we had " Dunked On" contests , Two NBA Pros go 1 on 1 with a nasty cross overs and they can only get dunked on.

Arron. Gordon.

They should do it every 4 years To let the creativity come back to it. And keep it fresh

Thank Jaylen Brown for hammer the nail.

Really?After Vince, you jumped to 2006? You skipped Jason Richardson? Who is way better than Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard combined.

YOU PROBABLY THREW YOUR LEGACY AWAY TO. HATE ON YOUR OWN LIFE INSTEAD OF KD BECAUSE YOU AINT PERFECT BRO💯

Honestly, same thing with the All-star game. Glad they brought back east vs west but come on, play some defence!

Just do it once every 3-5 years

NBA all star weekend in general just shouldnt be an nba thing, nobone gives a shit abt it. Nba players dont care, fans get bored of it. Why bother having it, just make it a basketball thing where u have everyone entr, like nba vs the rest of basktball world

The Dunk Contest should be every 3-4 years

8:54 a 3rd option could be, add rules to where one dunk has to use a prop, and one dunk is judged heavily on creativity

High fliers like Vince and Jason Richardson made it fun. Lavine and Gordon brought it back and MacClung made it exciting with his dunks. They need to get rid of props like Superman capes and the judges need to be better than handing out 50s on every dunk to pretend it’s exciting.

is this a re-upload? or am i stuck in a time loop? lol i still loved this!🔥

You missed the very first dunk contest where doctor j dunked from the free throw line

You sound dead

3:10 It was definitely NOT a fair judgement to have scoot better than wemby even at the time.

8:36 gave me goosebumps

NBA is nowhere close to late 70s to early 00s. Especially 80s and 90s.

They Should Do NBA Vs G League Dunk Contest. That Way We Get Names We Know & Maybe Some Competition Since Some Pride Should Be On The Line

Hilarious to make a video essay about the NBA and openly admit to not knowing who Michael Finley is. Completely disqualifies your opinion 😂

I was your first sub, congrats on 1k subscribers!

I've heard of Michael Finley. I've even heard of Bobby Sura from him playing poker on TV.

Aaron Gordon robbed twice, that's when it died.

wtf was jaylen brown thinking DUNKING OVER KAI CENAT SITTING DOWN

when derrick jones jr won that dunk contest that was the beggining of the end

Get pro dunkers to compete with them

It is very easy to save the nba dunk contest if nba really would want to. I know that u all know that its all about money, just put a huge amount on whom wins if it still didnt work then maybe let non nba dunkers from other leagues from all around the world to join

🔥🔥

Super underrated!
