Dunk contest issues

     The Allstar weekend for the NBA is one of the most exciting times of the year. However, in the past 5 or so years the dunk contest, which is supposed to be the highlight of Allstar Saturday night, has been boring. It seems like players who compete are no longer trying to give the fans the show tuned in to watch. In the past few years it seems that the players have not prepared a spectacular dunk that will have people talking. The only dunk that has been memorable in the past few years was when Blake Griffin jumped over a car. Even that dunk lacked the degree of difficulty that has been shown in the past. They have completely removed the 50 point score system that used to take place. The score system made them strive to get a great score. i believe that they should bring back the point system. Lately they have chose a winner based on a vote by the fans at home. While this seems like a good idea on the surface, it has its flaws. When the fans at home are in charge the most popular player has a much higher chance of winning despite what dunks they perform. In the coming years the NBA should go back to their old system of scoring.
