The problems with the dunk contest

1.Misses

Man that shyt just takes all the excitement out of the room. Why cant these mufukkas ever make it on the first try? Dont they practice? Dont they warm up beforehand? Thats the only reaosn John Wall won rly. Watching the replays McLemore dunk was actually better. Wall almost lost the ball and it looked kinda struggleish. But just off the fact that he made it on the first attempt and didnt lose no momentum or the surprise factor, he had everybody including more excited and I woulda voted for him too.

2.These nikkas have zero showmanship

Jesus Christ... are they even enjoying themselves? Bunch of zombies out there brehs. You give me a mufukkin chance to be in the all star game let alone the NBA. Id be two steppin my way into every competition and doing the dougie like Wall afterwards. shyttt.

Btw they need to stop trying revamping the shyt and just bring the OG format back. The format aint the problem, the mufukkin players are. We need more John Walls.

1. The players have no showmanship b/c it's been bred out of them in the NBA in general. Show any emotion or showboat and it's a technical foul these days. So they don't do it. Dudes like John Wall have some charisma, but he's an anomaly at this point.

2. the audience plays a big role. Even on the John Wall dunk the crowd barely got up. Back in the day, the audience used to be buzzing the entire night from the 3pt shootout thru the dunk contest. I think the tickets cost so much now that the crowd just isn't the cheering type

3. Too many great dunks over the past decade have been overlooked b/c that guy didnt win. That discourages players.
