You've got go be kidding me..
This is the perfect metaphor after witnessing the most boring Slam dunk competition of all time in NBA history. In a field composed of Shannon Bronwn, Gerald Wallace, Demar Derozan and Nate Robinson, I expect more acrobatic high-flying dunks since these are athletic high leaper player in the NBA.
Then came gametime. Wow.
"Let's go Home", a slogan which players or even broadcasters such as Charles Barkley usually says when witnessing an impressive dunk, but for last night, the slogan was used literally because the competition was boring as hell.
Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace completed dunks that even D-leaguers or amateur can do. Demar Derozan was impressing the judges with his acrobatic dunks in the first round but fell short in the end. Nate Robinson was still the same 5'9 guard but this time, fell short of wowing the crowd with his dunks.
Of all the dunks, I find Derozan's first round second dunk amazing. He got a perfect score while Nate Robinson's finals dunk was also impressive. The rest? Awful.
This marks the first time I lost interest watching NBA slam dunk competition. Before, the hype was amazing. People would expect these players to electrify the crowd. This time around, i'm pretty sure there's some people who fell asleep due to their poor performance.
Probably, the blame goes to Lebron James for not competing. After all, he declared he would compete this year only to have his ego backout.
So next year, I'm not looking forward for this competition. Unless we see Chris Paul join this event, then I might be forced to watch.
