what the hell is this CRAP!?

If Kobe and Lebron don't participate next year, they need to scrap it right now. YUCK!

BORING as all hell

1. Did I miss it?
I hope not :banghead:

I still enjoy it but I haven't really seen anything original or new since Vince Carter won it. Most exciting one I ever watched.

2. yeah, you missed it, it's over now
but you didn't miss anything, no originality whatsoever.

Nate Robinson was the biggest "star" participating

3. I see them giving the trophy to him now
I'm sure it was more exciting than watching the Coyotes lose 3-0 to the Stars. :(

Except for the two boxing matches that broke out. :hide:

6. Dwight Howard
Was it more exciting than the year Dwight Howard won the competition? I thought that year was great. Howard was the best part of the show, but overall it seemed like a good show.

4. Why would they put it up against the Olympics?
Couldn't they wait 3 more weeks?

5. I don't think it matters if LeBron and Kobe participate...
...there's only so many ways to dunk a basketball. Seems to be pretty much all of them have been done.

7. It Was Tedious
I've seen better dunks happen DURING GAMES! There was no pizzazz, no charisma, and nothing special. You're right; it was BORING!

8. Man, the All-Star Dunk Contest is a Going-Out-Of-Business FAIL.
Nate Robinson's dunks sucked a dead cat's ass - all the flow of a collapsing elephant. A skid of uncut Brazilian cocaine and amphetamine-laced Red Bull couldn't have kept that crowd awake. LeBron should just run this or let it die.
