NBL dunk comp- should it be a bigger deal?

I think Gavin Field had a nice leap on him from the Wildcats in warm ups but his 180s just weren't going in enough, give him the off season of improvement that DP need and he could be our second or maybe Damien Martin, I personally haven't seen all his tricks and the bloke can do everything so why not impress in a dunk contest.

As for the NBA, I'm tired of watching it, an opposition player is too good so you give him 20 shots from the free throw line a game (snorefest), they been too close to MLB and letting a batter walk.

Would love to see more Isaac Burton footage

A Wildcat in the dunk comp? Nick Natanui!

On subject though, dunk competitions, NBL or NBA, bore me to death. Much rather watch dunk compilations from actual games.

Ogilvy CAN dunk doesn't mean he should be in the dunk comp. Much like Darnell Lazare. And Seth Scott won't be back in Melbourne.. Doubtful will be back in the league next season.

Why don't we wait until all imports are signed before we talk about who should be in it this year?

Who saw ANY footage of the 3pt shootout? I didn't.

In the NBA it's getting harder and harder to come up with a new dunk. It can be the hardest dunk possible, but if we've seen it before then we're not satisfied.

Drop down to the NBL and the best we're likely to see is what NBA players would find boring and ordinary, and so we would too. We're so spoilt with the amount of NBA available that we can't be excited by NBL-level stuff, even if it's an amazing dunk for an NBL player.

Even though I don't see enough dunks in the NBL any more, when I see them I don't get excited either.

I'd rather keep the All-Star 3-point shootout and drop the dunk contest.

Absolutely, we have 7/8 teams in this league so 2 players from each team seems like an idea to consider with the later rounds having more dunks per round.

Also I would like to have TEN show highlights of the great dunkers in the history of the league in the build up to the comp... I'm looking forward to it already
