Better high stakes hoops

He he he...actually having an internet discussion with oneself is slightly disturbing, especially when you need to yell to get your point across.

Yeah, was there in 2007 for that AllStar game. Powell and Farley were the only contenders to start with.

Farley actually did some better dunks than Powell; think it came to a shock to most at the Dome that Powell won it; granted it was a bias crowd, but still would have called Farley on it. Awesome reverse Windmill jam.

Footlocker gave big prize money and covered some other costs. Teams paid $10,000 each to enter and Eddy put up the Dome. A good start , but only 50 people turned up for the first game.
Imagine you should play outside working hours and show it on TV , next day.
Sometimes Creek and Johnson dunk pretty good.
Harris a lot. - I was hoping the ring would stay on.

open the dunk comp up to all(abl, backyarders, commoners etc).
Have a dunk comp for locals at half time of a local NBL game(try outs first to make sure they can actually dunk OK) then the winners go onto the all star game and get to go against NBL talent in the pools then only the best in the finals.
This way the NBL guys will actually try as don't want to get shown up by a commoner and the public will watch to see how their mates go etc.

id like to see majok, abercrobie, creek plus a few others.

As a filler program for OneHD and an opportunity for the OneHD production crew to get some practice, it was successful. As a showcase/recruitment tournament, who got a contract that lasted?

Concept isnt a bad idea, just the execution. Will be interesting if it happens again, especially to see if they have learnt anything from the first one.

Host the event on a damn weekend this time would be a good start!

Not sure about moving it between cities, these arent proper teams, i dont think they would have the kind of funding to travel around from city to city but would be nice.

i would be in favour of moving the entire event between city every year more so than have a couple of games here or there.
