Easy Solution to Fix the Dunk Contest

[BallsOut]

6 participants. Each person has one chance to do one dunk, make or miss. That's it. Point system by judges after each participant's dunk. If everyone misses, no one wins and they deserved to be embarrassed on national tv for not practicing. NBA needs to grow some balls.

Just 1 dunk by each player? Hell no that'd make it worse. I wanna see atleast 2-3 from each player

Easy fix to the whole night:

Drop the host crap. I bet next year we're going to get Ryan Seacrest.

Drop the concert. This isn't the Super Bowl don't make it bigger than it is. It was quick too, so it was just filler to kill time.

Focus on the players, and invite more to it like an Olympics kind of thing. Ultimately, the fans just want to see the players compete. They don't give a shit about all of the ads, celebrities, forced humor, and stupid format changes. It would get the fans more involved in rooting for the players that represent their favorite team.

Here's an idea...how about just go back to the original format?

There has to be requirements. Perhaps at least 1 all star appearance or a certain resume of dunks? It should be an honor to be in the dunk contest, and a great achievement to actually win it.

It feels like random scrubs just called up by the league office because nobody actually wants to do it.

For what? Very rarely does any one player ever have 2 good dunks in the same contest.

You give them your best dunk and walk off. Better than seeing 2 good dunks and 20 misses in between.

here's an idea:

ban props and don't give a player 4 million attempts. then get superstars to join the contest and have a judge that isn't dominique, magic or dr. j and bring back the scores

Easy Solution to Fix the Dunk Contest:

Get Lebron James in the dunk contest.

I have a good idea for next year.

Get the same competitors as this year, and just do the contest again in the old format.

Lol this.

the dunk contest was never a problem. participants were. if this year's lineup had the old rules, it would've been great.

They've always had a host (I say always as in recent years.) Kenny Smith would usually be the guy, an in-house guy.

And the SuperBowl didn't always have music performs. 1993 was the first with Michael Jackson. And this is not the first time they've had music performers at the show.

And how many more players do you want? Rookie-Sophomre players, Shooting Stars players, Skills Challenge players, 3 Point players, Dunk players and the All-Star game players. That is about 50 players.

1 million dollar reward in cold hard cash.
The league office agrees to pay off any child support for the winning player.

YES! Also, a year's supply of Don Perignon.

The NBA would easily have the biggest anticipated dunk contest since Vince Carter won it if they would just stick with the original format or keep it similar and LeBron would agree to do it.
