NBA is just a league of one dimensional offense.
There are only a handful of players that started in the past ten years that are worthy of being in the HOF.

LeBron not participating in the dunk contest the way every great player of their generation did ruined the dunk contest for future superstars. all you ever hear is lebron fans tell you hes the most athletic player ever a 6’9 wide receiver who can run a 4.4 40 yard and jump 44 inches yet they will defend him to the ends of the earth when you question why he never did the dunk contest. You can’t tell me hes the “goat” and that he ushered in the player empowerment movement but then say him not participating had no impact whatsoever

I think they should scrap the dunk contest and change it to an all star 1v1 with the actual superstar plays

I agree with Stephen A. Let it just be a DUNK contest regardless of whether or not the person is in the NBA. I need Kilganon, Chris and the rest of whoever’s top at @teamflightbrothers come embarrass these divas on their turf. I hope it happens and I hope the fans let the players know they ain’t it anymore as far as this contest is concerned. It’s the one thing, as far as basketball is concerned, that I hold against LeBron…never participating.

this is the cupcake diva league. one of the most boring sports to watch. i went to an nba game recently it was a snooze fest about 80 freethows so many stoppages. players jogging the whole game. some just walking up and down. i went to a mls game and the score was 2-0 but it was wayyyyy more entertaining and i dont even watch soccer like that or at all. watching nhl games and nfl games are way more exciting as well. this coming from someone who used to play basketball at a collegiate level. the lack of energy as well as the entitlement from these players is ridiculous and as a competitor my self i cant stand to watch this game i love so much at the professional level. I mean how does the top tier talent refer to someone else as better than themselves is laughable and very disturbing in a league built off competition. thank you no thank you.

Stephen A: “The dunk contest are being performed by bottom of the totem pole nobody’s”
Also Stephen A: “ Let’s fix it by grabbing random people off the street”😂

The last greatest dunk contest was Zach Levine vs Aaron Gordon.

All star weekend for the nba is trash because LeBron is the person who’s telling everyone to play his way which is corny and weak 🤬😴

Forget whether the dunk contest has run its course, the whole of All-Star Weekend has run its course

All star weekend is about the stars. Unfortunately the stars either don’t participate or don’t take it serious anymore.
