To me, once Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine did their thing, and the judges didn't grant Gordon at least 1 title, to me, that's when I lost interest. What VC did, individually was amazing, but what Gordon-Lavine did, was our generation's MJ-Dominique.

LeBron not doing the dunk contest didn’t help, but it was doomed to become irrelevant anyways. When Jordan and others in the 80s and 90s were competing there was little to no internet. So, if you wanted to watch them dunk over and over again you had to watch the dunk contest. Now with RU-vid and highlight reels super accessible the contest has lost some relevance.

Something a lot of people are missing every year this discussion comes up since the mid 00s or so is the fact that after years of dunk contest fans have pretty much seen every possible dunk a human can do. Think about it the first time you seen a dude jump from the free throw line or a 360, under the legs behind the back ect… it was exciting because there wasnt 30 years of previous dunk contest highlights in the 80s 90s. Thats also why guy in recent years use so many props because they have to think of something new. Just learn to enjoy it for what it is.

When Jordan and Dominique did it there weren't a whole lot of dunkers in the league or internet. So it was awesome to see them dunking in a competition. Then came Vince and placed the bar so high that what only came close to that was Aaron vs Lavine and it was because of the rivalry that formed right there that made us think of Jordan vs Dom. We need to field 4 dunkers so it is a 1v1 to advance for a second 1v1 and have like a baseline 1st round where the dunkers highlight vertical and hangtime distance they get the baseline 25 for that part and then work the other 25 in creativity in the next rounds. In the first 1v1 you do 1 dunk to pass but can challenge again one more time. On the second 1v1 which is the final each contestant does 2 dunks but scorecard is hidden cause judges the best of the 2 dunks for each player through crowd applause and show score for that 1 to select the winner.

Jordan set the bar so high for the league. Anything bro touched no one can replicate or will be compared to it. Similar to the babe Ruth effect. Took decades for other players to come close to his greatness. The NBA still stuck in the 90s 30 years later.

There's a interview with Tmac and Kobe with Rachel Nichols where Kobe and Tmac tells their reason why they didn't do the dunk contest, they knew they couldn't win against Vince Carter and they do things they have a chance of winning!

Bron has one a dunk contest before. Plus his first years at Cleveland could have easily been a few wins in a dunk contest, it depends on props, he was athletic than most.

After Vince, the bar was set, and hasn’t been the same since. It’s not on Lebron.

Lebron was doing between the legs in high school. He had to do dunk contest in early years. When he didn’t have the muscle mass that he did later. Crazy lift still in those years

The dunk contest shouldn't have just big names that are good in-game dunkers. It should have the most creative dunkers. I like McClung, at least he's trying to do new stuff. I wanna see "no name" guys like Lecque in the contest, at least they can put on a show.

The problem is the participants, the judges, the fans everyone saw dunks out of this world from unknown guys on RU-vid. How you can get excited about the dunks who are not even close to the from online. Check the clip what happened when random guy have done scorpion dunk during all start game time out…
