Nobody said that with Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon, who aren't exactly starts. Jason Richardson vs. Desmond Mason was one of the best dunk contests I've seen

And Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard won (and in D-12's case, lost to Nate Robinson), and people still complained.

I get that it's not exactly Mike vs. Nique (and nobody remembers some of those other contestants), or Vince, T-Mac, Steve Francis, etc., but as long as the dunks look hot (in this years case I thought it was very good, although not as good as last years), then the dunk contest is cool.

Problem I have is either people whine about the stars, or more importantly, people change the rules every year. Leave the rules the same (instead of having them get a routine or some dumb shit), and let these cats go to work
