It wasn't his best dunk of the night and I didn't like the car dunk. I also didn't care for the 2-ball dunk or the 3-ball dunk. I didn't care for the dunk to get the kid's stuffed animal because they should've left the stuffed animal part out of it. I think the dunk itself is all that's needed not the gimmicks and props they use to add to the "entertainment." This is utter buffoonery and takes away from the dignity of the game, the contest, and the athletes themselves. Retire the dunk contest? You're insane. It just needs to be tweaked a bit to remove the folly element and bring back the dignity.
I prefer pure dunks: windmill slams (D. Wilkins), double-pump slams (D. Wilkins), between the leg reverse slams (V. Carter, Richardson), straight slams (Jordan), high-flying straight slams (Erving), Cradle slams (Erving). D. Wilkins was unbelievably athletic with his dunks.
I think they should limit the category of slams and compare how well each contestant does in the category. Possible categories:
1. Windmill slam
2. Double pump slam
3. Reverse slam
4. Straight slam
5. Cradle slam
