They should do a tribute dunk contest next year

[jadillac]

have each contestant pick a great dunk from the past(MJ, Vince, Nique, etc) and have them attempt duplicate it.

It'll be a fresh changeup

There's too many props and the physical limitations have been passed years ago

 

[jwinfield]

Eh.

They did something similar with the wheel and it failed because they had Steve Francis doing dunks a 6'9 dude did.

Just change the format so there's no time limit, you don't have guys doing 20 attempts and try to do something to get stars back in it.

I think they had him try to do the Statue of Liberty dunk but he couldn't do it b/c he wasn't able to palm the ball.That whole format failed.

Oh ok, I dont even remember that. I remember Francis dunking though.

THe problem is, the dunks are harder now to do so multiple attempts are kinda necessary.

the "stars" don't have hops tho.

Westbrook

jwinfield already covered it, but besides that alot of the dunks from back in the day when the stars were competing are tired now and wouldn't really do much to generate excitement imo. I think you can still get away with having no names competing if there was actually dope dunks. These nikkas should just be watching youtube and biting off all of these dudes on the dunk circuit, I know someone like Gerald Green can pull those off.

Yup.

or maybe they can just practice their dunks before the actual competition. If they would have been hitting these dunks on the first attempt tonight would have been

 

[MikelArteta]

i dunno why folks are hating go back in the late nineties before vince and the dunk contest was kind of wack nikkas like darvin ham, ray allen were in it, kobe bryant won on a basic between the leg dunk

There's only certain things that these guys can do, and they are for the most part, some of the most elite athletes on the planet, but there has to be more theatrical or just have people who do creative dunks on youtube, submit them to the NBA and have the contestants pick from a list of 10.
