you basically said everything i've been thinking. the slam dunk contest has become a joke. a waste of time. i was too young back in the day when Jordan, Dominique, and Webb were dunking. and then it just went down hill. but then, there was a rebirth! or so i had hoped. Vince Carter literally EXPLODED onto the scene and showed us dunks that i had never even imagined. not only that, but the way he did them, so flawlessly, so beautiful. after that, i was hoping that the dunk contest was back! WRONG! each year since then has been a failure. the real dunk artists aren't willing to compete in the event. what i don't understand is why? it's basically free publicity. even i bought into the VC hype after the dunk contest. hell, i even have an authentic NBA jersey of his. without Lebron or Vince, this is just a waste of time. the really sad thing though, is that i'll still watch it. just so i can see how bad it sucks.
