@purbeastis right. I keep tuning into the dunk contest out of habit and thinking/hoping that someone will do something we haven't seen before. IIRC, the year Vince Carter won, there seemed to be the same malaise. I don't know how accurate my memory is but I seem to remember thinking that the dunk contest was old, stale and everything had been done. Then Vince Carter came in and took it to a whole new level. But that was over 20 years ago, now it's just guys pulling really tall former players out of the crowd and leaping over them. I don't want to say that everything has already been done, but it's looking that way. The highlights from the dunk contest were boring as ****.
I fell asleep after the 3 point contest and the Steph/Sabrina thing...actually, the Steph/Sabrina thing was the highlight of the weekend for me, I wasn't expecting that.
I dunno how Silver thinks he can make guys want to play defense in an all-star game but good luck trying. Half those guys would rather not be there, all of them want to avoid injury.
