To be fair, it's NBA All-Star Weekend. The WNBA is the farthest they'll really reach out for their main Saturday Night stage. Even the D-League gets no love, except for a mention of their little booth somewhere. Although I would like to see guys like Air Up There and TFB guys in there, I doubt it will happen anytime soon... unless the NBA gets desperate.
Solutions to the Dunk Contest?
1. NO FAN VOTING. It's the only reason why Nate won the last two years. If fans get to vote, they're picking who they are familiar with. How many of the voters do you think know who DeMar was, compared to Nate?
2. The Dunk-In idea was actually good, imo. A rookie vs. a soph at halftime of the rook/soph game.
3. However, if we're going to have a dunk-in, might as well have 6 or 8 dunkers instead of 4.
4. Up the cash prizes for more incentive to win.
5. Bring back the boneheads who had chances to win in the past, but didn't really pull through. Josh Smith, JR Smith, Chris Andersen, Rudy Gay, etc.
6. No more Nate.
josh smith did win one he lost his second when he damn near hurt himself
