Please Save the Dunk Contest

        
            Who the fuck is Jeremy Evans? The 2012 NBA Dunk Contest Champion is who he is. I thought you had to actually play in the NBA to participate in the contest, OH WAIT! Evans is putting up a beastly 1.7 ppg and 1.2 rpg in a whopping 6 minutes a game for the Jazz. And take a look at the rest of the dudes who competed in the contest this year: Chase Chris Budinger, Derrick Williams, and Paul George. Holy shit, thats a must see contest right there, NAWT. Two scrubs, a rookie, and a small forward with a little upside, thats what the NBA gives us for the must see Dunk Contest. Pathetic. The thing that really drove home how shitty the NBA dunk contest has become,  was when  I saw the highlights from this years college dunk contest. Those guys threw down some real jams, they brought some real creativity, none of this props bullshit and dressing up in costumes, but some real fuckin rim rattlin jams. The kid who won it was a 5'10 NAIA guard, called James Justice and, you could see he wanted to be there, he put his heart and soul into that shit. On that final dunk dude leaped outta the building and almost hit his head on the fuckin rim. Honestly, the Dunk Contest used to be All Star Weekends biggest attraction, the main draw, the thing to see.  The contest used to bring out the best in the competitors, and the players took defeat personally. I mean look at the battle in '88 between 'Nique and Jordan, MJ had waited three years to get his revenge on Wilkins for '85. Or look at Dr. J recreating his free throw line dunk in '84 in Denver at age 34. Don't forget Vince Carter in 2000, with the hands down best contest performance ever.  I mean Kenny Smith almost shat himself after Carter's first dunk, the man had the entire arena in his palm that night. That's what the contest should be like every year, or at least every other fuckin year. Instead we've been stuck with lackluster contest after contest, with  half the players just straight up embarrassing themselves. I mean imagine if we saw a field at next years dunk contest of Durant, DWade, John Wall, and Josh Smith. That would be some worth while shit. But for now, someone somehow please save the NBA Dunk Contest. Im Begging You.

Meanwhile here's some real raw shit.
