| 0:28.7 | What are your thoughts on the state of the dunk contest? |
| 0:31.2 | I mean, I watched that shit after a while, and I'm just sad on where it's going. |
| 0:34.9 | For one, them letting certain guys do the dunk contest that wasn't even really in the league. That kind of bothered me a little bit. Kind of in the beginning when they were doing it. And after a while, it's like, y'all let them do it multiple times. So might as well just let them keep doing it. But just the whole, I mean, what more can guys do in the dunk contest?
