It’s crazy yall think throwing $$ at players will make them want to participate lol
These huge contracts helped ruin everything to be honest. Them lil incentives don't really mean shyt to these guys since everybody is making bank

And these guys ain't hungry competitors like the old days unfortunately

Jaylen Brown worst dunker maybe ever in Dunk Contest history. Them weak ass straight up dunks, he should t have been in the final over Jaime Jacques who dunked over Shaq.

Fun fact the first dunk of the night and last dunk both were dunks over Shaq.

Just drop the dunk contest until you can get some mid-tier supsertars to participate... Or just put the 3 point contest at the end & dunk contest at the beginning.
You can drop it if you want. Fact is our dunking tastes have changed the way our interests have shifted to the three.

Dunking on Shaq in game >>>> doing it in a dunk contest. We’d rather watch players catch bodies than for lack of a better term, flippy shyt.

The NBA is feeling the wrath of making player the stars over the game itself.

Now that Lebron and the 80s Babies are phasing out, the new generation just doesnt have “it.”

Everybody’s more concerned about being a brand and what team they’re going to in the offseason.
You go Larry magic MJ Shaq Kobe Bron all in a row anybody with sense would promote stars. Oh by the way you also had steph KD, iverson Barkley kg the list goes on :dead: not the nbas fault they had a stupid stretch of household names
