And neither was Kobe. Sure he became one, but he was rookie Kobe when he competed in the dunk contest.. To say everyone knew he was destined for stardom is a lie because a guard never jumped from HS to the league.
There’s been a lot of revisionist history when it comes to the dunk contest
- Thread starter Po pimp
- Start date
All Star game complaints is like Mass Effect where the Reapers attack every new generation lol.
SASSINESS ISNT CONSTRUCTIVE
Lebron learned from Grant Hill
WHAT PART ARE YOU
NOT UNDERSTANDING ABOUT BRON
GAVE THE YOUNG STARS THE OK?
NO BRON WOULD HAVE GOTTEN
MORE STARS TO COME OUT
GOING FORWARD.
ONCE HE GAVE THE OK FOR
YOUNG STARS NOT TO COMPETE
THEY ALL FOLLOWED SUIT.
DUDES LIKE JRICH, DESMOND MASON, DWIGHT, BLAKE, WALL, OLADIPO, ZACH/GORDON HELD IT DOWN OVER THE YEARS
SO IM NOT SURE WHY PPL ARE
PRETENDING FANS SHOULDNT COMPLAIN
ABOUT SEEING G LEAGUERS AND BUMS
IN THE CONTEST.
Alot of the best dunkers stopped participating in the contest because of the judges.
Lebron is not even a good competitive dunker. Only thing is fault lebron for is announcing that he would be in the dunk contest, stealing the spotlight from Josh Smith, and then not showing up in 05. He put that pressure on himself and gad to deal with it for 20 years.
BRON GAVE THE OK
AND nikkaS FOLLOWED SUIT.
THATS WHY WE HAVEN'T
SEEN A ZION, ANT NOR JA EITHER
THE LEAGUE GOES AS THE FACE
OF THE LEAGUE GOES.
YOU CAN PLAY OBTUSE.
So who was supposed to give the okay during the 15 years of dunk contests with barely any stars before lebron got drafted??
I'm the same age as lebron. Growing up, the only superstar we had in the dunk contest was shawn Kemp for a few years. And thats ERRLY 90S. Your average kid my age didn't know what all-star Saturday night was in 91-93. Lol.
