Yea, it was pretty weak. Fail after fail after fail. And no creativity, no air time. these guys grew up watching Vince Carter but none of them came close!
I realized one thing that made contests like 2016 and 2000 so incredible is that they were mostly doing this on the 1st attempt. After the 1st one, all the shock value is gone cause we know what you’re gonna do unless it’s something insane.
Exactly this. Like i just don't understand how these guys are so bad with their timing. I dont think a single one of them made it first try. And then there is no point in replaying it in slow mo or whatever since you've already seen everything too. Aaron and lavine made it first try while it didn't even look like they were breaking a sweat.
Breaks my heart seeing guys like Simons, Derrick Jones Jr, Diallo have all won this contest whilst Aaron Gordon got nothing despite having the most 50 point dunks.
Aaron Gordon shoulda beat Zach that second year for sure. Derrick Jones was sick though. I would have preferred Gordon to win but I wasn't too mad at that.
I think that shows it's not always about the official recognition. Real ones know AG is one of the best, just like Bob Marley never won a Grammy while he was alive. Still a legend.
In 2016, Gordon and Lavin reached the maximum point in class, in the skill schedule. After that, there was a decline. Slam Dunk Contest 2022 peaked at its lowest point.
I think it's time to acknowledge that the Dunk Contest is over The internet has allowed us to see better dunks from amateurs and professionals alike that we have reached the pinnacle of what the human body is capable of Sure it was a novel idea to do 360s or Between-the-legs back in the 2000s but today that's just a regular dunk It will never be the same, that is why the NBA should try something new instead, can't beat around riding an old horse

The NBA should choose wisely on who they want to participate in the dunk contest nxt AllStarBreak. Because the 3point Contest has now become more exciting than the dunk contest,but still a huge respect to the other guys who compete and participate...💯
Aaron Gordon showed up and did some of the best dunks we ever seen in the contest and was robbed twice and represented the Magic to the fullest. “Cole Anthony on the other hand showed up to all-star weekend, airballed some 3s, pulled his pants down, bricked some dunks, and left”

Of course, in appearance, they are my family, but in reality, they see me as their own enemy, and with me, who am their child, only bI was born blind, and I was not to blame for this, but my parents, because they were illiterate, considered me as a disgrace only to myself for my blindness and disability, and were always tortured as severely as possible. They beat me to the point where they threatened me with a knife. They put me to sleep and put the knife on my neck, and I was terrified and scared. Get up and until fullThe thin skin of my hand burned, they would not let me go. And they tortured me many, many times, to the point that my brothers, with the support of my parents, tortured me in front of my parents' indifferent eyes, and told me that I was blind. You are and you should be tortured to the extent that they created the belief in me and in my mind that anyone who is blind or disabled should be tortured because it is a disgrace to the family and society. And unfortunately, their torture is still going on, and only a kind of tortureThey do not consider it for him, so how can I complain to someone who considers my law as his property, of course, the current laws in Iran. Unfortunately, the government does not have a place for people like me to go and live. I really have no choice, either I have to commit suicide or I have to stay in the same house that my family has turned into hell for me, under the severe mental and physical torture that my family inflicts on me.

Mike and Dominique …Vince….if you think about it, it used to be stars in it and crazy dunks. Now they got the stars hiding (LaVine and Gordon were young and not recognized like Mike or Dom) but they put on the uniforms of carter/Wilkins/Jordan/Richardson/Robinson … even Nate Robinson was insane… this bs is just boring now :/ watching giannis and derozan knowing they could but never have and won’t.. no Lebron… they’re too worried about not living up to the older legends
@@glinkrecords THATS WHAT IM SAYIN, MY G. The thing is, right, the 2016 dunk contest is one of those events that are so unique and perfect that any others that happen after that wont be as good. Im afraid to tell u that we wont get any more legendary than 2016 dnk cont. But also, they start to run out of dunks, right??? They will need to do backflips in a few years time for us to see anything new😅😂
It’s tough because it seems no one really wants to do it. I mean the contest would instantly be better if Wiggins and Morant actually wanted to participate
@One from None who tf cares it would make it better period. Also that’s not even true there are plenty of pro dunkers who spend time playing in high level adult leagues
The NBA should change the format to *VOTE* for *"Who do you want to participate in the Dunk Contest?,"* so that deserving players can join the Dunk Contest. *Edit:* and if they don't want to participate, they can just decline it just like Harden did.
Nobody can force these players to do this. If Ja wanted to do it, he would‘ve done it. Nobody wants to do this shit because its a casual fest that is getting worse and worse because you have a broken format with braindead judges and a „who has the most followers on IG“ voting system
In other words, these incredible Athletes are making these DUNKS look so EASY NOW, the most incredible DUNKS are now starting to look ORDINARY, Back the 1980's , 90, 2000's & early 2010's, those same DUNKS would be considered IMPOSSIBLE
We deserve this for robbing Aaron Gordon not once, but twice. NBA gods have cursed us with an eternity of God aweful slam dunk contest to make up for that sin that D. Wade created. All he had to do was give a 10. That's it.
@@saidbandz1340 No, if you actually understand anything about dunking you know Lavine was the more creative, and better prepared drunker. And the end of the day her did more good dubks
This year's dunk contest should've had Myles Bridges, Anthony Edwards, John Collins, along with Obi Toppin. At least we could've had some actual highlight reels.
@UClcPGWB9r4hz_bzjax0xXdw seriously! Mad disrespectful! Dudes struggle just to actually do the dunk but to do it over someone and spread your legs like that? Crazy. Even the east bay hit it off the glass was disgusting! People really hating on this dude! He killed it tonight! But of course, “he’s not Zach lavine or Aaron Gordon “ 🤮 I want those guys to participate again but y’all know what happened last time. I’m just glad we had one elite dunker put on a show tonight. I’m satisfied 🙂
Cole Anthony having the timbs on and eventually dunking may just be the most exciting moment from this contest. People from Aaron Gordon, Zach Lavine, MJ, Dominique, Vince Carter, Blake Griffin, and others set the bar so high that this year was so bland. Literally. Salute to the dunkers but felt the competitors could’ve brought some excitement somehow. There was no props… nothing.
I thought the team competition was an interesting take on the "PG" skills challenge this year. Maybe try that with the dunk contest and force these guys to come up with something more unique/impressive. That and/or update the scoring to account for tangible metrics like vertical jump (relative to the dunker), distance traveled, and force of the dunk. FInal score = 75% judges score + 25% metrics score
you beat me to it lol but yeah something like ice skating where the difficulty of the dunk is factored in and you wouldn't need to give the judges your dunk program beforehand either so the surprise isn't ruined it's just that you wouldn't want mfs trying really hard dunks and getting points for them even if they brick or w/e so weighting the style points or judges' score or w/e is a good idea another idea is bring back the Foot Locker Slam Fest and have NBA dudes go against other non basketball pro athletes that can dunk like Davante Adams n Tyreek Hill n Noah Lyles n shit in a bracket or as teams or something cause I'm sure that would motivate mfs to actually compete n shit lol
I think part of what made Lavine and Gordon so special are obviously the creativity and athleticism of their dunk performance but also it was the *quietness of the crowd.* It really helped set the tone and build suspense to the element of surprise. now its gone... why did they change that? what were they thinking? >.
@@nimott literally nobody cares, I cannot emphasize that more Nobody fucking cares. The amount of shit being talked about the dunk contest by celebrities, Athletes, fans, and casual viewers is SO embarrassing for the sport. The NBA looks so bad because of how absolutely pathetic it was. I can fucking do those some of those dunks they did after there 10th miss. Dr J is done judging because of this BS. Rewatch the contest smh.
Dwyane wade should never be near another judge table or even around a all star game or dunk contest after what he did to Aaron Gordon. Aarons Gordon should've won both dunk contests. Aaron Gordon jumped over the mascots head in a seated position and put the ball under himself and dunked it. Then the next on he dunks over Tako fall. Aaron Gordon best dunker I've ever seen in my lifetime. Handsdown
The only statement that needs to be said. Well done. This statement should never be forgotten and be posted everywhere till the end of time. The day we robbed Aaron is the day we robbed entertainment from basketball. D Wade should write a formal written apology to Gordon.
Obi toppin dunks were amazing .. the creativity of them and how most of them he did on first or second attempt it was just very very impressive and good.. if he would have dunked those 2 harder people would have thought they were that much better but its not his fault he had no competition.. he needs to defend his slam dunk title against the other great dunkers
Agreed thank you for posting this!! I feel bad for Obi because so many people are saying this was the worst dunk contest ever but he’s getting lumped in with the other 3 dudes who were totally incompetent. Even the reporter afterwards had the nerve to make her one question to Obi basically asking “do you agree with Reggie and D Wade that this dunk contest sucked?” Obi was awesome in this dunk contest and was a deserving winner. If he can come back next year and just hit his finishes a little more flush he’ll repeat as champion and shut everyone up.
People are ignorant about dunking, topppin's dunks were super hard to do, even for the best pro dunkers... Some of his dunks were 50 if we grade like the previous contests. I don't know about his number of attemps but he could have finish better on some of them. Second point he is tall and doesn't jump out of the bbuilding like other guys but's it's not his fault, even gordon doesn't have an extraordinary vertical jump.
Three ideas for the dried up dunk contest. First is low rim dunk contest for better more creative dunks (8.5-9’ rim). Second have teams like skills contest, 3 nba players vs 3 pro dunkers on 10’ or 9’. Third is to have a dunk contest on trampoline courts. I think the reason the dunk contest is dry is due to the lack of creativity and we see the same dunks every year. Tell me what you think about those.
I think the first two ideas are refreshing but the last is a bit to fantastical for what the nba is. Also the risk of injury is too high with trampolines, meaning no one would want to participate.
I like the first idea, gradually raising the rim up to the final seems to be fun. Plus, most dudes would be able to have that bounce/flair to make their dunks first time.
The NBA needs to get the following in the 2023 contest: Zach Lavine, Aaron Gordon, Derrick Jones Jr, Ja Morant, Toppin and Zion. Give them more money, more freebies, just do something otherwise just get rid of the Dunk contest. Even the NCAA and High School contests are more lit than this.
I’m not seeing anyone mention the actual issue with the dunk contest. It’s not that these guys can’t dunk or do flashy stuff, the problem is we’ve seen pretty much every type of dunk possible and many different variations. Outside of using props which we’ve seen already, it’s hard to create a new dunk without possibly killing yourself trying to flip in the air. That elite players are smart for not participating, these way too much pressure for something that can’t really be achieved… just my opinion, I would hope I’m wrong
You are correct good sir. You can only be so creative when it comes to the dunk contest. We have pretty much seen a variation of every possible dunk. Unless we add a trampoline, but then players risk injury.
I think stars wouldn't deal with that pressure tbh. Pick Kobe and LeBron. If those two had been the only two participants in one season, we would still be talking about that contest even if the dunks were "average", just because of a possible beef between LeBron and Kobe. Yes, most dunks have already been done, which is why the NBA should try to recruit stars known for good in-game dunks and make them go at each other. (Jordan vs Wilkins anyone?). Ok players can deliver, like Lavine and Gordon in 2016, but that was an anomaly. NBA should focus on bringing stars to the contest so we can stick to a narrative, because that's what the NBA is about: narratives. So I think it's more about their egos than pressure to deliver Tacko Fall dunks. Talking about that, a 1v1 contest would be awesome as well, but stars would probably be afraid to accept the challenge and maybe get 'embarrassed' by another star.
Aaron Gordan had the best dunk contest I've seen in a very long time. I was shocked when he didn't win against lavine. Maybe the standards that those 2 put makes me feel disappointed after watching it today. No creativity, repetitive.
Shaq " I need Aaron Gordon for slam dunk contest" Aaron Gordon " no fucking way", even i do 360 on the half court with airplanes below, they well score me 48😂🤣" now I laugh as you guys suffer 😂🤣
That's the thing, the biggest names and relevant teams all skip the contest. So there's no hype before the contest. N when it flips as it usually does there no hype after either
As much as I’m happy for Obi winning I feel like we’ve reached the limit to how “cool” dunking can be, like I think we’re running out of ideas. We need a new idea for a basketball contest 😐
The dunk contest needs more star power, but their egos wouldn't let them compete against other stars... And about a new basketball contest, why not a 1v1? Well, because of their egos too lol I would love to see the NBA forcing rivals on a 1v1 match, but that ain't happening. Not many stars would risk their reputation.
This dunk contest was a pretty accurate representation of the current generation and their inability to be creative while also being concise. Too fixated on being flashy instead of executing. Gone are the days of Vince Carter, Aaron Gordon and Zach Levine..
you realize many of the dunks could have been 50s in the past right? It's just that all creative dunks have been done, there's only so much you can do with a ball and a hoop
I still can't beleive that Tuscano Anderson actually made it to the finals, imagine if Green competed against Toppin, I bet the kid saved his best dunks for last.
@@nicktheballer4 Tuscano anderson has an athleticsm of a 42 year old VC, look at his dunk his never reach the net lmao. How that hack even invited the dunk contest is beyond me. No wonder this Dunk contest is trash.
I'd like to see a one-on-one competition. Maybe have 8 or 16 guys, 5 minute games, single elimination. With their egos, the stars would all want to participate.
I’m 45 years old-a huge nba fan and supporter; this was literally THEE worse slam dunk contest I’ve ever seen…and there have been some bad ones in the past, but this one takes the cake!!

All the doors are closed to me, even the eyes of God are blind to see the oppression that is being done to me, and the ears of God are blind to hearing the cries of my constant cries, my midnight cries, my daily sufferings, my daily prayers and the jurists and The cries of my every moment from this oppression, oppression and cruelty that from the beginning of my life, fromThe first events of my life that I remember are deaf. So how can I hope for others when God has done nothing for me and trapped me in a cruel, cruel, cruel, and oppressive family? I am Morteza, I am from Iran, I am blind, I am 34 years old, I am unemployed because in our country, Iran, there is no work for healthy people, let alone disabled people like me. I live with my family in a small town in Iran. Of course, in appearance, they are my family, but in reality, they see me as their own enemy, and with me, who am their child, only bI was born blind, and I was not to blame for this, but my parents, because they were illiterate, considered me as a disgrace only to myself for my blindness and disability, and were always tortured as severely as possible. They beat me to the point where they threatened me with a knife. They put me to sleep and put the knife on my neck, and I was terrified and scared. Get up and until fullThe thin skin of my hand burned, they would not let me go. And they tortured me many, many times, to the point that my brothers, with the support of my parents, tortured me in front of my parents' indifferent eyes, and told me that I was blind. You are and you should be tortured to the extent that they created the belief in me and in my mind that anyone who is blind or disabled should be tortured because it is a disgrace to the family and society. And unfortunately, their torture is still going on, and only a kind of tortureThey do not consider it for him, so how can I complain to someone who considers my law as his property, of course, the current laws in Iran. Unfortunately, the government does not have a place for people like me to go and live. I really have no choice, either I have to commit suicide or I have to stay in the same house that my family has turned into hell for me, under the severe mental and physical torture that my family inflicts on me. And more than ever with a horrible gradual death that tormentedI want to stay.

I thought the team competition was an interesting take on the "PG" skills challenge this year. Maybe try that with the dunk contest and force these guys to come up with something more unique/impressive. That and/or update the scoring to account for tangible metrics like vertical jump (relative to the dunker), distance traveled, and force of the dunk. FInal score = 75% judges score + 25% metrics score
you beat me to it lol but yeah something like ice skating where the difficulty of the dunk is factored in and you wouldn't need to give the judges your dunk program beforehand either so the surprise isn't ruined it's just that you wouldn't want mfs trying really hard dunks and getting points for them even if they brick or w/e so weighting the style points or judges' score or w/e is a good idea
another idea is bring back the Foot Locker Slam Fest and have NBA dudes go against other non basketball pro athletes that can dunk like Davante Adams n Tyreek Hill n Noah Lyles n shit in a bracket or as teams or something cause I'm sure that would motivate mfs to actually compete n shit lol

Even the reporter afterwards had the nerve to make her one question to Obi basically asking “do you agree with Reggie and D Wade that this dunk contest sucked?” Obi was awesome in this dunk contest and was a deserving winner. If he can come back next year and just hit his finishes a little more flush he’ll repeat as champion and shut everyone up.
People are ignorant about dunking, topppin's dunks were super hard to do, even for the best pro dunkers... Some of his dunks were 50 if we grade like the previous contests. I don't know about his number of attemps but he could have finish better on some of them.
Second point he is tall and doesn't jump out of the bbuilding like other guys but's it's not his fault, even gordon doesn't have an extraordinary vertical jump.

Yessirruclips.net/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/видео.html
1997 was worst. Overreacting so bad, super spoiled with Lavine and Gordon.
Three ideas for the dried up dunk contest. First is low rim dunk contest for better more creative dunks (8.5-9’ rim). Second have teams like skills contest, 3 nba players vs 3 pro dunkers on 10’ or 9’. Third is to have a dunk contest on trampoline courts. I think the reason the dunk contest is dry is due to the lack of creativity and we see the same dunks every year. Tell me what you think about those.
lmao I wanna see nba players on trampoline for sure
@@velipulla3936 have you ever seen those full trampoline courts
I think the first two ideas are refreshing but the last is a bit to fantastical for what the nba is. Also the risk of injury is too high with trampolines, meaning no one would want to participate.
I like the first idea, gradually raising the rim up to the final seems to be fun. Plus, most dudes would be able to have that bounce/flair to make their dunks first time.
great way to fuck up your ankles
The NBA needs to get the following in the 2023 contest: Zach Lavine, Aaron Gordon, Derrick Jones Jr, Ja Morant, Toppin and Zion. Give them more money, more freebies, just do something otherwise just get rid of the Dunk contest. Even the NCAA and High School contests are more lit than this.
Yessirruclips.net/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/видео.html
if it’s anybody to win that, it’s obi toppin
The NBA needs to do something to incentivize the top stars to participate in the dunk contest.
I’m not seeing anyone mention the actual issue with the dunk contest. It’s not that these guys can’t dunk or do flashy stuff, the problem is we’ve seen pretty much every type of dunk possible and many different variations. Outside of using props which we’ve seen already, it’s hard to create a new dunk without possibly killing yourself trying to flip in the air. That elite players are smart for not participating, these way too much pressure for something that can’t really be achieved… just my opinion, I would hope I’m wrong
You are correct good sir. You can only be so creative when it comes to the dunk contest. We have pretty much seen a variation of every possible dunk. Unless we add a trampoline, but then players risk injury.
You're right I was saying this last night.
I think stars wouldn't deal with that pressure tbh. Pick Kobe and LeBron. If those two had been the only two participants in one season, we would still be talking about that contest even if the dunks were "average", just because of a possible beef between LeBron and Kobe.
Yes, most dunks have already been done, which is why the NBA should try to recruit stars known for good in-game dunks and make them go at each other. (Jordan vs Wilkins anyone?). Ok players can deliver, like Lavine and Gordon in 2016, but that was an anomaly. NBA should focus on bringing stars to the contest so we can stick to a narrative, because that's what the NBA is about: narratives.
So I think it's more about their egos than pressure to deliver Tacko Fall dunks.
Talking about that, a 1v1 contest would be awesome as well, but stars would probably be afraid to accept the challenge and maybe get 'embarrassed' by another star.
As someone who watches professional dunking frequently, you are so wrong.
I agree, only way the previous dunk contests would be topped is if there was an actual death on the court during a dunk attempt

@@k3aintwittalking873 cuz the dunk contests been trash ever since that year
@@xxgorvexx get over it!!!
Aaron Gordan had the best dunk contest I've seen in a very long time. I was shocked when he didn't win against lavine. Maybe the standards that those 2 put makes me feel disappointed after watching it today. No creativity, repetitive.
it was the timing , correct me if I'm wrong , that seated dunk (I'm guessing that's the one you saying) was 2nd last and then he attempted a good dunk
Giving this a 🔥 emoji in the title is very generous
Nah it's saying to put it out
Shaq " I need Aaron Gordon for slam dunk contest"
Aaron Gordon " no fucking way", even i do 360 on the half court with airplanes below, they well score me 48😂🤣" now I laugh as you guys suffer 😂🤣
Bring us ja and zion for the next year
Shit zion gotta play b4 he get into a dunk contest
and anthony edwards
Zion is a lost cause
That's the thing, the biggest names and relevant teams all skip the contest. So there's no hype before the contest. N when it flips as it usually does there no hype after either
@@jesse22palma boy….he’s making millions while you’re ass is on RUclips talking shit about him. And somehow he’s the lost cause?
Boy….🤦🏽♂️
As much as I’m happy for Obi winning I feel like we’ve reached the limit to how “cool” dunking can be, like I think we’re running out of ideas. We need a new idea for a basketball contest 😐
The dunk contest needs more star power, but their egos wouldn't let them compete against other stars...
And about a new basketball contest, why not a 1v1? Well, because of their egos too lol I would love to see the NBA forcing rivals on a 1v1 match, but that ain't happening. Not many stars would risk their reputation.
Watch professional dunking. You’ll realize how far behind the nba dunk contest is
@@calamorta - LOL IT'S A DUNK CONTEST, nobodys "reputation" is on the line
@@lycosgames8237 yep. they’re not running out of ideas weve just seen everything capable from an NBA player🤷🏽♂️
@@mattcarberry368 yea but no one wants to take part and embarrass themself w mediocre dunks
we need another Vince Carter to revive the dunk contest.
Can't we just give Aaron Gordon the trophy to this dunk contest
This dunk contest was a pretty accurate representation of the current generation and their inability to be creative while also being concise. Too fixated on being flashy instead of executing. Gone are the days of Vince Carter, Aaron Gordon and Zach Levine..
😂
you realize many of the dunks could have been 50s in the past right? It's just that all creative dunks have been done, there's only so much you can do with a ball and a hoop
Preach
😂😂😂😂10-27 miss dunks yeah ok
@@bigdawg7171 So we judge a dunk contest by FG%? Go watch a lay-up contest
I still can't beleive that Tuscano Anderson actually made it to the finals, imagine if Green competed against Toppin, I bet the kid saved his best dunks for last.
Fr we never got to see his full potential
@@nicktheballer4 Tuscano anderson has an athleticsm of a 42 year old VC, look at his dunk his never reach the net lmao. How that hack even invited the dunk contest is beyond me. No wonder this Dunk contest is trash.
because Green was a dumbass

I actually liked obi. Timbs was funny and the off the board was cool. Definitely not as bad a contest as people said
I feel bad for Obi he did his job in order to make this event exciting
Ain't his fault that nobody else show up to give him some competition
@@tpsam better call

Man that cat from the knicks was the only dunker that was worth watching.
6:18
"Atleast dwade is not involve with the judging decision this time" 💀💀💀
I'd like to see a one-on-one competition. Maybe have 8 or 16 guys, 5 minute games, single elimination. With their egos, the stars would all want to participate.
To make the dunk contest more exciting we should have three point shooters participate instead.

Or maybe just good dunkers
This year's Dunk contest made me rewatch all the greatest dunk contest
It's okay NBA...you can keep the highlights😎🍻🍺
I’m 45 years old-a huge nba fan and supporter; this was literally THEE worse slam dunk contest I’ve ever seen…and there have been some bad ones in the past, but this one takes the cake!!
1.NBABLM league is trash for years now. 2. Cake*. 3. The 2010 dunk contest was worse.
It wasn't the best slam dunk contest ...But Juan and Obi tried🙌🏼❤️
Bro Toppin does basically the same dunk like 3 three times in a row and wins🥱😑
