As a said in the chatbox, the judging has lapsed greatly, it's like the American education system, HODOR, everyone gets A's as the average.

Yeah, what the hell? It's like a 50 is the standard now. Nowadays, dunkers are upset when they get a 9 that they don't even deserve.

More than likely you'd see guys like Kyrie, Lillard, Tyreke Evans, Curry, J.R. Smith, John Wall, etc.

Too bad his attempts were out of this world.

If T-Ross shot 4/20 in a game, I bet your ass wouldn't be saying "But his shots were good..."

How is the selection for the dunk contest based on? Eric bledsoe had only 9 dunks on the season so far and he was in. Doesn't even sound that much

So was everyone else. He was no different.

He was a bit less though if anything. I believe his attempts were 5, 1, 2, 2.

wade and cp3 were captains and chose the participants so chris paul chose bledsoe.

iirc mcgee and evans took twenty thousand attempts for each of their dunks last year

**Haystacks Calhoun** · 02-17-2013, 09:35 AM

The NBA should limit each dunk to 3 attempts, and make the the first round a best of 3 dunks score, and the final round just one dunk.

**Notorious** · 02-17-2013, 09:42 AM

I agree with only 3 dunk attempts. And I think the format of the 2000 dunk contest was the best one. You get 3 dunks in the first round and your two highest scores are added together for your round score. The three guys with the most points move on to the final round and each get two dunks, whoever gets the highest score, wins.

We also need better judges. Seems like this year these guys gave 50's to any dunk that was completed on the 1st try.
