lol i remember when that shootin stars thing first debuted.. well, maybe a vague recollection as i never paid much attention to it. i think i remember Clyde and Cynthia Cooper... which would mean llate 90s or something since they've had it

Skills challenge ain't that great either tbh. I still like the originals the best (3pt shooting and dunk) but it sorta feels like there's less rounds to the 3pt contest now (barring a tie) and less rounds and competitors in the dunk contest. Tho for the latter, that could be b/c players simply don't want to participate. (But if that's the case, i'm somewhat surprised that only 5 outta 400+ players would want to.)
