    Next season the dunk contest should be before the celebrity game and not televised

    That's what I'm saying you're the rookie 2nd overall pick and you dunking last (your the favorite to win).
    You're athleticism is top tier... Just show it off. Do some basic hard windmills.

    It's not that hard.

    especially when u have a bunch of no-names in the dunk contest

    Obi Toppin? Tuscano? Seriously?

    Cole Anthony? Nobody knows who that is

    3 point contest been electric for years

    aside from Lavine and Gordon, the dunk contest has been garbage, and tonight was easily the worst of all time

    I think they should do 2 NBA players and 2 professional dunkers…at least it would be something new

    Kenny and Reggie crapping over everything.

    This dunk contest. John Wall. Zion.

    It's getting really annoying. As a former NBA player and employee of a company broadcasting the games, it's not a good look when you're putting down the product.

    (Not saying much) MLB really has the best all-star events.
    Home run derby and ASG

    Pro Bowl total joke, playing 2-hand touch out there.

    NBA ASW, they keep trying to tweak to no avail.

    Pro Bowl was a joke!
    NBA ASW: Hold my beer.

    Cancel all of it. Give the players the week off.

    (Wait, Adam Silver might scrap it for his midseason tournament)

    JC with the “I don’t want Jalen to get any shine tonight” type passes…JC pulled a Christian Wood

    Texans look like a well run organization compared to this dunk contest.

    This was worse than the James White dunk debacle.

    lowest score goes 1st…Green had zero momentum after missing 20 dunks…his 2nd dunk was like an “I’m defeated” dunk…zero hype, zero energy

    Solid idea, but I don't think any NBA player would want to get shown up, even if their opponents were professional dunkers.

    I dunno how these 4 were chosen, but there should be more research done into selecting the 4 participants.

    I think I would go this route: A senior in high school, a college player, a G-League player and an NBA player. That NBA player shouldn't mind getting shown up if he loses.

    Why high school and college? Who wouldn't like more exposure, especially if they're hotly recruited? Ditto the G-League.

    James Harden fresh from the buffet could’ve won this dunk contest

    Jalen was a big name, top 3 draft pick, jumps out of the gym, marketable and lays an egg.

    A 1v1 event would help ratings. Pat bev vs Westbrook. Jokic vs Morris. Morey vs Lil Baby. Hahahaha.

    He's a big name only because he plays for the Rockets. The casual NBA fan wouldn't know who any of these 4 players were.
