It's a disgrace and I blame the 2010s stars - dwight, lebron, durant, Davis, kobe - yes I said kobe he was the only one of the lot that could band them all up and make them go and participate.
@@noam8314only LeBron is to blame, he was the first all-time great dunker to just straight up refuse to participate, Dwight and Kobe both participated and they both won btw.
@@netkonesto i forgot about dwight, out of the 2010s stars kobe was the only one who had enough influence to make everyone participate if he wanted to. He was the old respected veteran.
@MaverickReed-yt6vt Bro we are not in like the 2010s anymore. McClung has been carrying these last 2 dunk contests. Gordon did not have the best dunk in the nba. I know you have your opinion but I’m just saying.
Aaron Gordon got ho’ed so hard. Him jumping over the mascot and putting it through his legs has it be one of the best dunks in a dunk competition I’ve ever seen
@@ajaidenmatthews5328 well i mean dwade kinda did hoe him with some scores that were clear 50’s and its not like he was missing the dunks either but you right though judges get th final say not my random ass lol
This will probably hurt some feelings but the dunk contest died when the biggest star in the league decided year after year to not enter it. Thanks LeBron.
Dat one on Larry Bird was nasty. Give Bird credit for even attempting the block but Dominique put his ass in the basket. Bird did come back and torch Atlanta with a huge 4th qrtr tho. Those were good competitive games.
MJ needs to comeback to the dunk contest but not as a player as a retired player. I feel like more people in the NBA need to come to the dunk contest It needs to be alive again.
now, the stars of the nba say they will have to get payed to participate, the nba being the nba brought in some of the worst players in the nba that didn’t want to get payed. but back then it was an honor to get to participate
to be fair to the new players, they could pull off dunks that were better than the ones dominique and mj were doing, but because it isn’t original they wouldn’t do well at all. it’s getting harder and harder every year to come up with something original
