So I know probably nobody cares about the NBA Dunk Contest that happened last weekend, but I have a few thoughts that I need to get out there, just to vent.
- First of all, the format is weak. You get 2 minutes to do your dunk, and you can miss as many times as time will allow. Then even after time expires, you get 2 more attempts. You should get maybe 3 attempts, and you should get judged on how your dunk looks in those 3. If you make it on your first attempt, great. If your dunk is so difficult that you can't make it, well then maybe the judges will give you some points for effort. Or maybe you'll switch to something easier on your 2nd or 3rd attempt.
- Speaking of judges, they are always idiots. There's never a judge who throws up a score of less than an 8. So dunks might as well be judged on a scale of 1 to 3. And the panel of 5 gives out 50s like it's going out of style. Ideally, there should be around 1 perfect score every year. This year, no dunk deserved a 50, yet Dwight Howard got at least 2 because he's tall and charismatic.
- The announcers suck as well.
- There needs to be more competitiveness and less gimicks. I'm talking to you, Dwight Howard and Nate Robinson--your stupid Superman theme was hella lame. This is why LeBron James needs to enter the Contest. Cuz once he was signed up, you know he would not want to lose, and he would probably come with some sweet ass shit. We need to get back to the days of Jordan vs Wilkins, and in today's game, one of those players has to be LeBron.
- I am waiting for someone to do a flip dunk. That will be awesome. Another one someone should try (maybe try - it might be too easy or too hard or not even that cool - it just popped into my head) is this: since one of your dunks requires you to be assisted by a teammate (e.g. they throw you an alley-oop), someone should get an alley-oop, but the pass should actually fall through the hoop, then you grab it, and dunk it. I think that would be cool.
