The dunk contest has to be figured out 'cause it was not, it was, I mean, that used to be the marquee event. There was a time where the dunk contest was more important than the actual All-Star Game. Not quite anymore. I mean, the 3-point contest was the marquee event this year. But in the same token, the 3-point shot is the most important shot in the NBA. So it makes sense. You think about the NBA back in the day, it's all about slashing, getting to the cup, highest flyer. Nobody's really shooting a 3, that was condemned. And so the reality is, Is it makes sense of why that was more of the marquee event because the NBA is built on 3-point shooting right now. So I get it, but something has to happen because it was not great.
