I like that it's only 4... all the mediocrity sprinkled in with the occasional good dunk ruined it for me.

I'm up-and-down on the Dunk Contest, and most of All-Star Weekend. But Zach Levine coming out to "Space Jam", with the Tune Squad Jordan jersey and that dunk...damn.

And gets the trophy...  the last one was nice too.  Format still tough to watch.

 

Would rather see a 2x2 tourney.

Quite frankly, it's a medium that's been around too long to incite any kind of wow factor. Hence all the misses... too much trying for wow's. I'm over it. It was better this year though. And it's well documented it makes good money still. So it's not going anywhere.

You got to understand how much they've upped the level of difficulty because it was necessary. You're just gonna miss going for a lot of this stuff.

Watching on DVR. Steph Curry is ridiculous.

Speaking of Curry, who I love, the Cliff Paul thing was cute the first few times, but now it's getting downright weird with all of the "Twins". 

 

Maybe that should be a rant, but whatever.

It was fine in the commercial. But bringing them in for a live shot during the event...no.

Yea, a bit of an overkill.
