ASG won’t be back in Cleveland until 2060 now :heh:




I’m glad they didn’t. 99% of them are past the stripe anyway

Most of the crowd can't see that, it plays well in the nosebleeds.

"What is he doing at the halfcourt line?" It's an easy "feat-dunk" that isn't gimmicked. It's classic.

Wade lmaooo:russ:
Q-Rich told a story on the last Knuckleheads ep, when he won the three point contest they asked him if he wanted them to take trophy back to engrave his name on it. He said nope, I’m taking this with me on the plane, I’ll have it engraved with whatever I want on it :mjlol:

COMMON SENSE THAN TO
ASK THE WINNER SOME
DUMB shyt LIKE THAT.

I agree. But I felt like she was trying to come up with something to say to the winner, but couldn't come up with something because the dunk contest was so trash

I think the issue is that the NBA historically has just not had enough good dunkers in the league to make the contest interesting every year. That's why most dunk contests have either been complete trash or forgettable.

The 3-Pt Contest doesn't have these issues because we got so many capable shooters that can make it interesting. Even if the top shooters (Currys, Klay, Booker, Dame, Hield, etc.) all don't participate they can manage just fine.

They need to quit with the tradition and shake it up

And make the 3pt contest be the climax of the night.

Not to mention the 3 point contest isn’t based on creativity .

All these dunkers who are failing to entertain could do the same generic windmill dunks or between the leg flushes that would’ve brought the house down 20 years ago.

But nobody cares about that now, so they try to tack on all this extra stuff.

3pt contest at its core is simply a time-based competition of who can perform the simplest mechanic at an efficient rate.
