Dunk Contest!!
The Dunk Contest will be coming up this weekend. I am so excited!! Watching the dunk contest is so much fun with the right people. Its the event I look most forward to. NBA tv is showing a marathon of previous years of dunk contests. There have been some great contests and some real crappy ones. I think one problem is whenever they try to have all these restrictive rules. I think its stupid. By the way, the wheel that was used to determine what dunks to emulate was one of the dumbest things ever added. Also the requirement to use someone with your dunk is kind of dumb too. I think that should be up to the person. Here is what I think the rules should be. The rules should be simple. Have at least 3 rounds. Don't limit what can be replaced/made dunk/missed dunk rule crap. Basically give each contestant a 1-2 minute time interval in each round to do the dunk they want. That way you give them a chance to do the dunk they want and don't penalize them for a silly slip of the ball or mis-timed jump. I think the dunk contest would be a lot better. If they miss a dunk attempt a lot, then it will probably lower their score because the judges would see the number of attempts. Also, I would love for the NBA to release how they choose/pick contestants. I wish fans could vote for competitors. They vote for All-Star starters, why not dunk contestants? Let NBA players who want to participate put their name out there, and fans vote who they want to see. Perhaps raise the prize money to get in some of the better players. Another cool idea I think could be "height classes." As in fighting you have weight classes, why not height classes for the dunk contest. That way you can have the best dunker under x, y, or z height. Then you have a final dunk off of those best dunkers. You have more competition and allow more guys to compete. I think people who love to watch dunk contests would appreciate it. Also, watching these dunk contests, you realize how annoying some of the announcers are. I like Kenny Smith as an analyst, but as someone talking about the dunks, he is annoying. Most of the guys are. Maybe I'm just being a hater.
