Just bring back the shooting stars competition and revert back to the old skills challenge format next year that's all I ask.

This is an era of players that open Twitter at halftime to search their name and see what people are saying about them

Yes some of them are scared to jump in and get roasted if they don’t show out. Jaylen taking some lumps but I can appreciate him at least trying

Yeah and it ain't even that serious. Jaylen ain't paying attention to this lol. Other players should take notes. Jaylen threw a party last night, had a bunch of celebs in there, Rubi Rose was there... you think he gave a fukk about the jabs thrown his way? :mjlol:

NBA players will never practice enough to do those dunks

Then y have the contest. Or maybe let those dudes in to perform

Zack Lavine and Aaron Gordon we're doing all types of wild shyt that we haven't seen since

The guys entering now either dont have the ability or the commitment to give us spectacular dunks. But I don't wanna hear there's "nothing else to do" when all they do is jump over a D list celebrity or their homeboy 15 times to do some basic azz jam.

Everyone mad at Jaylen is the reason why the dunk contest sucks. He did some ordinary dunks but he was out there, others are too scared to get criticized and fans are haters as well. He's trying to get others involved.

When's LeBron coming through on his word? :dead:

No, it’s not.

1- The dunk contest has survived without stars. Aaron Gordon, Zach Levine, Nate Robinson, etc.

2- We want big name participants but not any ol body and not at THIS expense. When we call for big names we don’t call for them indiscriminately. We call for Ja, Scoot, Donovan Mitchell, etc. No one is calling for gahdamn Jaylen brown. Yall talking like the Ngga is Lebron get him tf outta here

They are too p*ssy to compete. Jaylen was leading by example.

I think the best solution is to get the youtubers to do the dunk contests. Lavine and Gordon was a once and a lifetime type of dunk contest, even some of the older ones were just average to be honest. There are some guys in the league that has the ability to pull off those dunks, but some guys accept the invite just weeks before the contest and don't put much thought into the actual contest, they've admitted this in the past.

There're other dunks we've seen before they could've done last night instead of the shyt we got, I agree with that.
