We're on vacation, but people are mad about the dunk contest for the 17th year in a row. People are always going to be mad about the dunk contest. I like the floor. I like the light up floor. They're doing everything they can to like make it look as much like a video game as possible.

But there's really there's really no way to fix the dunk contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find. I don't know where you go from jumped it over Shaq. It's it's so funny because every year people get upset about the dunk contest so they gotta fix it.

Maybe it's just that we've seen every cool dunk

and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.

I mean, Credit to Jalen Brown, he did do a very cool dunk

where he uses left hand. But maybe it's just that we've seen every cool dunk. And there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.

of jumping over progressively taller human beings.

Right.

And that's like the guy that wins is who jumps over the big.

I want to see somebody. It is. The last seven years have just been an arms race of jumping over progressively taller human beings.

Right, and that's like the guy that wins is who jumps over the big. I wanna see somebody get absolutely teabagged and knocked over on one of those attempts. Like I wanna see, I wanna see a dunker not be able to make the leap. Yeah, maybe it's just being alley-oop contest and it's like live action, it's actually a game. It's just whoever has the best dunk in the game wins a dunk contest.
