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

It was all good until it wasn’t.

The AAU/mixtape generation is only in it for the clout and have no love for the game. They just wanna get likes and do the bare minimum.

Add in the NBA trying all kinds of gimmick stuff like in-season tournaments thinking more money will motivate them and make them play.

It’s hard to watch the NBA now because it’s a glorified 3 pt contest with no defense and travels galore.

Amazing how relevant this is

AND GET ALL STARS TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE DUNK CONTEST.

See, the downside to it is the same as anyone who can dunk: now if they do a great job we’ll want them there every year and it’s chasing a high we ain’t gettin

Dunk contest should be demoted for the three point contest. shyt is really dead lmao

You ain't wrong.

They could do a lot more to spice up the three-point contest too. Five racks is outdated, even with the two long balls added. They could add more long balls even deeper, force the players to change positions more often and go quicker between stations, even add step-back, fadeaway, or running shot situations.

Need at least a couple logo threes in there.

Imagine if some balls you had to pick up from inside the 3pt line, but shoot from outside the line (2013 Ray Allen style).

Other balls you have to pick up from the line, but shoot a stepback from 5 feet behind the line, and you're not allowed to travel.

Another ball that you have to shoot over a Giannis dummy with its arm raised.

Last ball you pick up at midcourt and can shoot from anywhere outside the line, but you're short on time.

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.

Three point contest always been better to me since a kid :manny:
