I agree with you, it's been a joke since they started not only allowing, but forcing the players to use props and other players in the contest. It was much better back in the day when they, well, judged players on how well they could dunk. Now it's just a circus and whoever puts on the best show for the crowd will win, even if their dunk isn't that spectacular.
On a side note the 3-point shootout was laughable this year as well. I'm not e-bragging or anything because I'm really not that great at basketball, but I'm pretty sure that even I could knock down more than 9/25 threes. I mean wasn't 18 or 19 the high score, including the striped balls?
I think the highlight of the entire night was seeing Dan Majerle knocking down shots again. That was actually quite nice.
