How to Fix the Slam Dunk Contest

By Chris Mottram
Our friend Dustin Canalin over at UNDRCRWN presented a simple, yet fantastic solution to improve the current state of the All-Star Weekend’s dunk contest: “Take the best dunkers in the world, NBA or not, and put up a million bucks.”

And of course, Kenny George:

Honorable mention would go to White Boys Part 1 and White Boy Part II.
It should also be mentioned that the second part of Dustin’s solution would be to have “Jay-Z or Lil’ Wayne perform and have Dave Chappelle, Kat Williams and Chris Rock do the commentary.” Anything involving Lil’ Weezy is cool with me.↵
