So T. Ross won the slam dunk competition. That's cool, I guess. Not surprising.

I know. But as I said, if you spend too much time thinking about the past, you'll miss what's happening in the present. And what's happening in the present is LeBron James making history.

I do agree with Barkley though they need to find a way to get the stars to participate and quit being chickenshits. |

You're being melodramatic. Of course I'm watching what's happening today. That's why I'm in this thread. I've also been very complimentary of LeBron, and I've been a champion of the talent right now in the league. It's as good as it's ever been. But, recalling how great Jordan was isn't nostalgic. It's just respecting what came before, and serves as a reminder for those intoxicated with the present.

It was a letdown overall, but Ross and Evans were solid. People were hoping for more from some of the other guys like White and Green. And guys that aren't household names have to go above and beyond to really capture the crowd.

Those on my Twitter feed (at least the non Raptors fans) seemed kind of upset about it. Been kind of a letdown in terms of star participation since the VC days, I guess.

The dunk contest barely has any starters in it much less stars. I agree with Barkley on this in that the players need to give back to the fans. I personally give a shit about the game itself. Give me the best shooters and Dunkers going at it. I would LOVE to see some one on one battles. There is so much shit you can do with basketball to make the weekend incredible. Get the shoe sponsers to cough up some money to the players charities. It could be done if someone would champion the cause.

As of right now, LeBron is the most dominant player in the game. That's a big compliment. But he isn't dominating the same way Jordan did. The problem I have is that people keep saying the if LeBron keeps up his pace, he will match Jordan. That is completely false. LeBron seems like a shoo-in to be the 2nd best player of all time, when all is said and done. But no matter what the statistics may tell you, LeBron has a LOT to prove if he wants the legacy of being the kind of competitor Jordan was. |
