NBA All-Star 2022 Feb. 18-20 in Cleveland, Ohio | 71st NBA All-Star Game Team Durant vs. Team LeBron ( 8 PM ET TNT / TBS)

The prize money for the event in recent years has caused no end of controversy, as the relatively low payday has been criticized as the reason that the league’s big dunkers stay away from the competition. Last year’s winer took only $40k, down from $100k in 2020, itself down from $105k the year before.

extremely laughable from the leaders of the capitalist world


you want to give the people a good dunk contest?? pony the $$$ you cheap bastards


$500K, $1M, $1.5M for the winner and then maybe half of that for the runner up


i bet you we can fix this mf

Cleveland ASW is wack. I’m sorry. And please stop putting a camera in front of Cole Anthony. One of the most cringe and corny *****s in a minute. Shorty be thirsty to get his wack **** off

Cole’s dreads ****ed up his line something serious

Dunk contest was so bad I had to watch the famous zach lavine vs aaron gordon…. We never gonna get another dunk contest that’s gonna match that.

 

[getback]

Reggie: "He needs all of these!"
*shooter misses 3 in a row
Reggie: "He needs the rest of these!"
Kevin Harlan: "There's not enough points left"
Reggie: "He's gotta have the money ball!"

The last good dunk contest was Gordon vs Lavine, and Gordon was robbed

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Even the trophies are trash nowadays

Yeah, I wouldn’t be thrilled if I brought home some Clorox awards

 

[lawdog1]

Wild that this ended up being the highlight of that dunk contest

It was so bad that if Magic was in the announcing team, he wouldn’t have said “The dunk contest!” is back even once.

Stephanie Ready snitching on Miller and Wade

Stephanie Ready telling Obi Toppin to his face he was the winner of the worst dunk contest ever is going to be an underrated all time interview.

I knew Stephanie Ready was wack as soon as I heard her speak for the first time.

Ready was wild as hell with that final question.

YALL done turned on Stephanie Ready I see

Last night was a learning how to dunk, contest.

And we're all the worse off for it.

Made a quick day trip back home and raged! I get it’s Cleveland but city did a nice job. With everything being within a 1 mile radius cause Cle a small city, it was easy to find any party, pop-up, celeb you wanted

As for weather it was rough but what ya expect in these Midwest/East coast cities? This my 3rd All star weekend (Toronto, Chicago, Cleveland) all were mad cold as expected in February

I wanted to go to the game but prices are unreal. From 2015-2018 I went to every Cavs home playoff game including nba finals, and sat in lowerbowl, great seats. For finals, for lowerbowl, most I paid was 500-600, they want 500 for nosebleeds, you can miss me with that!

Crazy next time Cle gets AsW, I’ll be in my 50’s. I do think Chicago cause of it’s basketball history/culture should get it every 5-10 years regardless of weather.

 

[shogun]

I still like stephanie ready. She looking extra thicc and the type to drench the bedsheets but not warn you beforehand. Miss seeing Ledlow.

I thought about this and it's CLEAR the NBA doesn't give a damb about the dunk contest. As your post indicated, they are decreasing the prize money for the dunk contest while simultaneously proposing a midseason tournament that will award the winning team $1MM PER PLAYER because, and I quote "the idea of such a notable financial prize would be to provide additional incentive for players to treat a new tournament with a competitive fervor."

So they are willing to give end of the bench players who won't even play a minute in the tourney more than their entire season salary for being on a midseason tourney championship team but can't pony up more than $40K for the dunk contest? Man, Ja has more than that just laying around on PJ. FOH

The dunk contest is good like once every 5 years regardless of who is in it

 

[wavycrocket]

Ready really is like the worst dressed woman of all time . It’s like she intentionally hides her beauty for real
