[@bigchillin4216]

They didn't raise the bar too high, the judges and grading scale ruined it. 50s and 40+ scores are way to lenient and free. AG was robbed because of the contests lack of structure. The contest isn't bad because of AGs incredible feats and creativity (or Zach Lavine even though he did the same dunk MJ, Brent Barry, etc. have all done), it's bad because of the lack of structure and lack of will from the players to put in effort like an AG, Javale McGee, Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson, Kobe, MJ, etc.

I was really blown away by what he said. And the best part is the unknown guys will be paired with the players (hopefully top guys, Lebron, Curry, Giannis, Zach etc) to make the audience feel attached to the unknowns. Fantastic idea. Hopefully they go through with this.

[@TheALVINtaker]

NBA on TNT had the Dunk King. There's also Team Whistle that produced Dunk League.

I like Stephen A’s idea, find a bunch of players who aren’t in the NBA but can actually dunk. Ex. Jordan kilganon, guys like that

[@lindaminor2872]

I've been saying that for years. TNT's show Dunk Kings showed us some phenomenal dunkers. NBA players must focus their practice time on their game. Dunking has become a skill of its own. Let the people who have time to polish their craft put on a real show.

NBA players are not incentivised to perform at the Dunk contest, when they had to prep the dunks and risk busting up their legs during the landing.

Teams could sponsor their own competitions and from those winners they would pick the guys for the slam dunk competition. And all finalists to appear at the all-star saturday go home with like 50k and the winner with a million etc. NBA could also match the winning money to a charity of the sponsoring teams choosing to keep the teams invested and also winning money for worthy causes...

That really is a great idea. The NBA does have that kind of bank and marketing and organization. It would be an amazing reconnect with fans. They should absolutely do it. Sponsors would line up to be a part of the contests. Most of all who really benefits? Those street athletes who as Stephen A pointed out had a number of reasons that they couldn't get into the network that feeds future NBA players. Making dreams come true. Young men and women finally getting a break they deserve. Who knows? Many of them could end up getting shots to play. NBA do this!

[@Resaixo]

Honestly: the most disappointing part of the dunk contest was Jalen Green's performance, because I expected SOMETHING good from him. He was the only one this year known as a generational dunker (Toppin can be argued too), and it looked like he just totally lost his nerve (and his handle). His second-made dunk even showed how good the whole thing COULD'VE been. He just tried to do way too much. Just disappointing, man.

I could watch Kendrick Perkins laugh all day long.

[@markushayes]

Me and my boys had similar dunk contests at lunch in 10th grade looking for that first dunk. 😂 😭

[@vegasgodumb1721]

That idea Steven has is gold that would bring excitement back to dunking then have the best 5 from the streets vs the best 5 in the NBA

[@mcjudilla774]

Molly and Perk lost it when he said 'a knick won something' LOOOLLL this is hilarious 🤣🤣

[@leejizzle337]

The highlights along with Kendricks laughs makes this one of the funniest moments ever

Been saying that for a few years now!!! Glad somebody is clicking on to it, question is can the Organization get behind it??

Perk’s laughter throughout Stephen A’s rant was hilarious

[@johnnybravoBoyah]

Fake laugh but okay

[@joewell2709]

This whole thing had me so weak 😂😂😂😂 but honestly I agree. That dunk contest was so bad.

[@Reconseal4050]

It's like me trying to dunk on NBA Live! 😂

[@Tmac9]

I've been saying that for years. That's there players on the street that go out they way to prefect the craft of dunking. Give these people opportunity to get their brand known. NBA players not trying to risk millions for a dunk contest. Glad somebody that has a platform to be heard realize that the NBA is missing out on opportunities trying to keep the dunk contest in house now.

[@markrawlings7859]

One of his best takes in a while, I’ve been a little over Stephen A but I love this take

[@dunkmeister]

Agreed

We need this! Would be good the the guys to make some money and not be scared to get hurt and miss the rest of 2nd half of the season
