If you were watching TNT last night to see an exciting Slam Dunk contest, I hope you were watching on video tape. This year’s Sprite Slam Dunk contest featured four virtual unknowns, doing 3 repetitive dunks (dunking over Kevin Hart, dunking over P. Diddy, dunking over a teammate, i.e.). I was pulling for Paul George of the Indiana Pacers, who dunked with the lights off in a glow-in-the-dark jersey.
The Sprite Slam Dunk contest is usually the main event of all star Saturday. This year was a snooze fest. For the first the fans got to vote for the winner by twitter, texts, and by phone. Over 3 million votes were cast.
The winner: “the Human Pogo Stick” Jeremy Evans; however, we all lost. Perhaps Sir Charles Barkley said it best, “I’m saying it here, I’m saying it now. All the superstars need to get up off their butts and get back into the Slam Dunk contest. When I was young, I wanted to see Dominique versus Jordan…”
