Today, the NBA All-Star Weekend ushered in three individual events, namely the Skill Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Dunk Contest, of which the Dunk Contest is the finale.
But it has to be said that maybe the NBA should make changes to the individual events of All-Star Weekend, at least adjust the order, so that the dunk contest can be carried out first, and the three-point contest can be moved to the end, because the dunk contest is really getting more and more ugly now.
Let's not say that the players participating in the current competition are not star-studded enough, almost unknown to fans, but also because their creativity is not enough, and then the strength of the dunk is not good. This year's dunk contest was attended by Jaylen Green of the Houston Rockets, Anderson of the Golden State Warriors, Kerr Anthony of the Orlando Magic, and Topin of the New York Knicks.
These players are too famous and their performance is also very crotch-pulling. Neither Jaylen Green nor Cole Anthony actually completed the dunks, and there were three attempts to dunk all four times, and Only Anderson and Toppin were rushed to the final.
In the final, Anderson's action was quite creative, but he couldn't buckle it, and there was no way. Topping's movements are the same, almost all crotch dunks, and it's exhausting to watch. In the end, Topping won the championship because he completed every dunk, which became the dunk king.
Obviously, this year's dunk contest is really ugly, as long as you dunk to win the championship, can't help but recall 22 years ago, Vince Carter in the 2000 NBA All-Star Weekend dunk contest with a stunning performance to defeat. From entering the NBA in 1998 to retiring in 2020, Carter went through the 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s, and four generations of the NBA failed to produce a new Carter.
Today, NBA veteran Paul Pierce said that he can take the dunk king on the court, obviously, no one can be satisfied with the dunk contest this year.
