I guess It's exciting to the 10-20 age group but those two events just don't do anything for me like it did 15 years ago.


Only interested in the All-Star Game

I still like to watch it at 23, but it isn't as much as I did when I was younger. Didn't they used to have more than just 4 participants in the dunk contest a few years ago?

I wish LeBron James would participate, it would make it more interesting.

Yeah I think part of the reason is no KNOWN PLAYERS are participating in these events. Just a bunch of nobodys

I guess I am like you, if this was 1988-1992, I would be pumped up for it. But I did enjoy the celebrity game last night.

I did watch the 3-point contest and surprised that Peja, Dirk, or Nash didn't win. The contest is kind of stupid now, it was a total of 6 players and then it was reduced to 3 players, and then whoever had the highest out of the 3 WON??? I thought that it was going to be a two man face off between the HIGHEST TWO of the last 3? I knew I should have never watched this bullsh*t

Jason Kapano from Toronto repeated as the Three Point Shoot out champion. He won last year as a member of the Heat

Well, the dunk contest was pretty decent. I liked Green's "cake dunk," and Dwight Howard is just amazing for a beefy 7 footer.

The first few contests weren't the best, but that was a heck of a dunk contest. Dwight Howard is an absolute freak of nature.

I don't know why Dwight received so much praise for his first dunk because that's the same dunk Andre Iguodala did two years ago

I didn't watch this year, but mostly because I was busy. I like the 3 point contest and I think it is a cool idea. The slam dunk contest starts to get on my nerves when they have to try over and over agian. This year I really liked the Superman dunk.
