Nah it hasn't. There is so much stuff that hasn't been done.

This is some...

And this whole East vs. West points thing is so fucking stupid. The East won 3 out of the 4 events and still lost the overall contest. lel.

another thing i thought was pretty funny. it was the last dunks and they told everyone to vote right, how was the timer still going to determine the winner via vote yet nick cannon already had the results in his hand?

taking a page out of WWE's book huh NBA?

People were hyped to see Blake Griffin in 2011. They wanted to see MJ and Dominique dunk. Watch the 2000 dunk contest. See how insane people were going for Vince. He could've went out there and did a simple one handed dunk and the crowd would've ate that shit up.

The stars need to get off their asses and do the dunk contest. I don't see why they don't want to do it. They don't have anything to lose. They won't lose the contest. The NBA will make sure they don't.

The stars would rather sit in the bleachers with their ridiculous outfits and fake glasses than participate in the contest. It's become associated with scrubs now, stars aren't gonna do it unless other big names do.

Honestly, I think the only way stars do it is if they raise the prize money.

Nike can't allow LBJ to run the risk of losing to a nobody. Destroys his brand, sales and revenue.

**Notorious** · 02-16-2013, 10:31 PM

Pretty much. It's the agents and Nike/Adidas/Jordan getting in those stars heads not letting them to do it.

Some people think the NBA should have like a one-on-one tourney during All-Star Weekend but that would just end up being a disappointment too. Because stars would refuse to do it because they're scared to lose to a lesser player.

What happened to that team Kobe vs. Team Lebron thing they were talking about last year? You guys remember that shit right?

BrosOfDestruction · 02-16-2013, 10:38 PM

1 on 1 would be so epic man.

Any of the elite PG match ups like Kyrie/CP3, Kyrie/Rose, Rose/CP3, Rose/Rondo, Parker/CP3 etc
Kobe/Wade
Kobe/Bron
Bron/Durant
Bron/Melo
KD/Melo
KG/Dirk even if they're old.

Anybody remember that one on one match up between Hakeem and Shaq that was supposed to go down on PPV back in 95? Shame Hakeem got injured.

**El Barto** · 02-16-2013, 10:39 PM

LeBron would've won just by showing up in 2010, last year or this year.
