Let’s be honest, most of the dunks in the dunk contest are unoriginal. The NBA needs to find slam dunk champions like Julius Erving and Vince Carter who will properly judge contests and appreciate dunks that may seem unimpressive to the average spectator. While many judges are basketball legends, that doesn’t make them qualified slam dunk judges. In both competitions, fans felt Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon was robbed and that bad officiating was why he refuses to participate again. However, the most exciting contests of the past decade, 20, had controversial judging by panelists who were less than “qualified” to officiate a slam dunk contest. This was not always a pressing issue for the Dunk Contest. To make the competition more exciting, here are some ways to fix the competition before the league decides to suspend it. The league catches lightning in a bottle every four years when they get an enthralling competition however, it is usually ruined by horrible judging. What is the reason for this? For years the NBA has struggled to answer this question. It is one where fans leave to get food or participate in more entertaining activities. For years it has been the least anticipated event. Meanwhile, the Slam Dunk Contest is the one event that leaves the audience bored out of its mind. The Rising Stars Challenge displays the future superstars of the league, and the NBA All-Star Game is the main event for obvious reasons. Entertaining and unforced, the All-Star Celebrity Game features famous personalities who surprise fans with their athletic abilities. The Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest are both extremely competitive and unpredictable in their results. NBA All-Star Weekend is one of the most exciting times to watch basketball.
